I accidentally walked into the Xihaipitang Ecological Park in Taoyuan, and I was pleasantly surprised! When you first see Guanzipi, it feels like you have entered a secret lake. The clear water reflects the blue sky, making you relax instantly. Take a stroll along the lakeside trail, which is 1,314 meters long. What’s even more interesting is that when we stopped by the lake, we happened to hear the beautiful lady at the Xihai Calla Lily Flower Exhibition service desk say that there were many fish in the lake, so we took out feed to feed them. In an instant, countless fish swarmed into the water. If you want to find a leisurely and surprising place in Taoyuan, Xihaipitang Ecological Park is definitely worth a visit! Remember to take a walk along the lake and enjoy the lake view. You can also bring some fish feed to experience the fun of feeding the fish. It is recommended to visit in the evening, when the sunset shines on the lake, the scenery is even more romantic and charming~ Address: 337 Tianxi Road, Dayuan District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan #MarchGoodPlaces2025

After visiting the Hengshan Calligraphy Art Museum, we came to the nearby Hengshan Waterside, which is not only a light meal cafe with a beautiful environment, but also sells special souvenirs. The souvenir area in the store has carefully selected many products related to calligraphy culture, such as exquisite bookmarks, notebooks, ink pen sets, and even cultural and creative peripherals with a strong sense of design, allowing people to take home the beautiful memories of this calligraphy journey. Specialty teas and tea sets are also sold here, which are suitable for personal use or as gifts. In this quiet space, pick out a meaningful souvenir to bring this art and cultural journey to a perfect end!

The Dayuan Jianshan Archaeological Exhibition Hall is a place full of history and fun, especially suitable for family and friends to explore together. Here, not only are precious relics of prehistoric culture displayed, but there are also many interactive activities that make the visit even more enjoyable! Inside the hall, there is an archaeological excavation experience area where both adults and children can simulate archaeologists and personally excavate 'ancient artifacts,' experiencing the joy of discovering history. In addition, there are pottery puzzles, rubbing experiences, and other hands-on activities. Whether it's parents and children having fun together or friends challenging each other, everyone can have a great time while learning. If you want to have an educational and entertaining cultural trip, the Dayuan Jianshan Archaeological Exhibition Hall is definitely a great choice!

Jintanhuo, which is close to Taoyuan High Speed ​​Rail Station and Gloria Outlets, offers a variety of yakiniku, fried food, skewers, and a variety of Japanese sake. It is a good place to go when you are worried about what to eat or have a midnight snack in Qingpu. The a la carte menu is diverse. In addition to meat and seafood, there are many izakaya dishes. If you didn’t tell me, you would have thought you came to an izakaya instead of a yakiniku restaurant. 😂 🌟Different from other BBQ restaurants, the charcoal grilling has a different aroma and taste. With the straw-type smoke exhaust device, you don’t have to worry about the barbecue smell. We ordered a lot of dishes, which are really diverse and not disappointing. The cheap ones are less than 100 yuan. If you want to eat high-end food, there are wagyu beef, raw-grade scallops, etc. This restaurant is suitable for everyone from eating a few skewers to having a meal together😋 📍 No. 136, Zhixiang 1st Street, Dayuan District, Taoyuan City

Xucuogang Wetland is located on the right bank of the Laojie Creek estuary in Dayuan District. The ecological environment is well protected. There are many different bird species living and temporarily migrating there, as well as a wide variety of aquatic plants and animals. There is a planned building with a grandstand for tourists to enjoy the beautiful sea view, or you can go down and play in the sand and water. There are not many buildings here and the scenery is beautiful. There is also a place for tourists to wash for free when playing in the sand, which is very considerate. The toilets are also very clean and the parking lot is very convenient. It is a good place for outdoor activities and the whole mood is so beautiful. #familytravel #hotsummerdestinations #localtravel

Gogoout Car Rental Experience I have searched many car rental platforms but none of them provide the service of renting a car in one place and returning it in another place, or the location is not what I want. By chance, I found Gogoout, a platform that integrates car rentals. As long as you fill in your needs, they will match you with suitable car rental manufacturers👍🏾👍🏾 This time we went abroad to Taoyuan by plane. We didn’t want to rush so we left a day earlier. We also wanted to take more photos of the beautiful scenery around Taoyuan before leaving. So we rented a car at Zuoying High Speed ​​Rail Station for two days, and our destination was Taoyuan Airport Station. ✌️An additional fee of 1,500 was required for returning the car at a different location, which could be paid off when picking up the car. We were matched with Ai Wang Car Rental. The store has great service. They provide bottled water, wet wipes and Ai Wang masks💕 and you can pick up the car at the store as early as 8 o'clock👍🏾👍🏾 Our schedule is to pick up the car at 9 o'clock and return it at 17 o'clock the next day. With a car, the mobility of the journey is higher😌😌 When you go to Taoyuan, you can visit some attractions, eat some delicious food, sleep until you wake up naturally the next day, and take your daughter to the park after lunch😎😎 After returning the car, there is also a thoughtful service that the service staff will take us to the airport. It is really a great experience💕 Next time you go abroad, in addition to taking the High Speed ​​Rail, Taiwan Railways, and Tonglian, I recommend that you try renting a car when going abroad 😎 ​​It is definitely a very different experience🎉 Address: No. 65, Wenfu Road, Zuoying District, Kaohsiung City 81361 Opening hours: 08:00-20:00 #KaohsiungCarRental #TaoyuanCarRental #ReturnCarToAlongTheRental #iws #CarRental #FamilyTravel #LocalTour

Address: No. 165, Minsheng South Road, Dayuan District, Taoyuan City Atmosphere/Facilities: Lively dining environment Features: various stewed dishes, beef noodles, fried rice Price per person: 200 yuan Beef noodles with various beef and pork stews! It can be said to be a representative feature of Taoyuan cuisine! Perhaps it has something to do with the military dependents’ village culture that was derived from many early garrison relationships! The characteristic of Taoyuan beef noodles lies in the rich sauce-flavored braised beef mixed with beef bones and red and white radish in the clear soup base! Each noodle shop has different widths of pulled noodles! The noodles at Mei Mei's are soft and the portion is generous! The soup is rich and tasty! The beef is also braised till soft and tender! But the overall taste is ordinary and not bad! The way to cut braised food is bold! In Taoyuan, it is very common to see braised dishes from other provinces in noodle shops, with a strong sauce flavor! Rough marinating method! The table is filled with braised dishes for guests to choose from! Generally, if you don’t ask the price of braised food in this kind of noodle shop, you may end up cutting your hands accidentally! #Taoyuan #beef noodles #mainland noodles

I visited Xucuogang Beach again. This time it was high tide. The area that was originally used for children to play in the water and study small creatures became an enclosed place for swimming. The sun set quickly after 6 o'clock. Watching the sunset sink into the sea level, the change of light and shadow was really beautiful. The embankment in the evening was very comfortable. A gentle breeze blew, and I appreciated the beautiful scenery and felt happy. #TaoyuanDayuan
