2025 Taipei Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

Located in Taipei's Xinyi District, the Taipei Dome is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching buildings in the city. With its sleek, rounded exterior and high-tech design, it injects a touch of futurism into the bustling metropolis. This multifunctional dome is not just a sports stadium but a complex space that combines cultural creativity, entertainment, and shopping. Strolling around the Taipei Dome, one can find a harmonious blend of architecture and nature. The surrounding green spaces offer a moment of tranquility in the heart of the busy city. The building itself incorporates eco-friendly concepts and features high-efficiency energy management, showcasing Taipei's commitment to sustainable development. Whether you are admiring the unique beauty of the architecture or attending future large-scale events, the Taipei Dome is set to become a new architectural highlight in Taipei, worth looking forward to!

When you stroll through Xinyi District in Taipei City, it’s hard to imagine that somewhere in a corner of Section 5 of Civic Avenue lies a secret place full of historical stories—the National Railway Museum Preparatory Office. This employee bathhouse, built in 1935, was originally called the "Changing Room Bathhouse" and was a place where Taipei Machinery Factory employees could relax after work. The architectural design is simple and symmetrical, with a slightly cross-shaped plan. The biggest highlight is the reinforced concrete structure of the central bath and the natural lighting brought by the arched glass windows. It is beautiful~ There is currently a permanent exhibition - "The Age of Enlightenment - Employee Bathhouse Permanent Exhibition", which displays the history and architectural features of the Taipei Machinery Factory employee bathhouse. The exhibition is divided into three major areas: the west exhibition area, the central bathing area, and the east exhibition area. The original two circular hot pools and three rectangular cold pools in the bathhouse are retained, allowing visitors to experience how employees used the bathhouse at that time. Although the entire exhibition room is not large, you can savor the modernization process of Taiwanese architecture, and you can also see the architectural style of the bathhouse during the same period. It is really a special experience to feel the evolution of the times from the details. ✅ National Railway Museum Preparatory Office 📍 Address: No. 50, Section 5, Citizen Avenue, Xinyi District, Taipei City 110 ⏰ Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 9:30 am to 5:00 pm. 🚇 Transportation: Nanjing Sanmin Station (about 10 minutes’ walk away.) #TaipeiAttractions #TaipeiTravel #National Railway Museum Preparatory Office #taipeitravel #taipei #exhibition #expo #January Good Places 2025

#TaipeiHotel 👋My dear friends, I stayed at Taipei Times Residence, which just opened for four days. This is the first Tapestry hotel owned by Hilton in Asia Pacific🎉. In terms of price, there was a similar "formaldehyde absorption project" at that time, which cost about NT$4,000 per night including tax. As soon as you enter the hotel, you can feel the atmosphere of a newly opened hotel. The service staff are very enthusiastic. They also revealed that when the hotel first opened, the lobby was filled with real flowers, which was very fresh. The highlight of the room's hard furnishings✨ is that although the overall design is simple, it is not minimalist. The designer has great control over the details, and even the cabinets have carefully designed chamfers. The tiles on the floor are different from common SPC and super wear-resistant wooden floors. The supplies are from local brands, the bath series is a "one-day tea ceremony", and the tea bags are from Jingshengyu, which has a very local flavor. A laundry list of advantages👇: ✅The hotel is new, the stay is super comfortable, and the facilities are brand new. ✅The design and furniture are superb, both beautiful and practical. ✅The sofa is soft and you can relax and collapse as much as you want. ✅The bed is super comfortable, with both support and softness. Sleeping in seconds is no longer a dream. ✅The service is very heart-warming, we attach great importance to customer opinions, and we do our best to "listen". Of course, there are also small disadvantages: ❌Liquid soap is a bit drying, and there is no replacement yet, making it a bit uncomfortable to wash hands and shower. ❌Pillows are not strong, and good beds are equipped with "thunder" pillows, which affects the quality of sleep. ❌The fabric is only 250-knit and feels rough to the touch, incomparable to ordinary 300-500 knit fabrics. Overall, Taipei Times Residence is worth a try. It is normal for a new hotel to have minor flaws. I look forward to its subsequent improvements💖. #Hilton #Tapestry #Taipei #Taipei accommodation

In the past few years, I have discovered many well-established BBQ street restaurants where you can sit and drink. Snack restaurants are also springing up. I don’t know whether this is an upgrade or a downgrade in consumption. 😂 A new Salt Crispy Chicken Bar with trendy decoration has opened near Zhongshan Station. The space Big and comfortable! 🌟It must be to attract young people. The overall feeling is very chill. Although it is trendy, the Taiwanese salty crispy chicken is still full of flavor. You can choose chicken legs or chicken breasts for chicken ~ very thoughtful😋 🌟There are many fried items to choose from, and the most popular recommendation is the sausage and rice sausage combination~ The drinks section focuses on craft beer. In fact, it is like a sipping room. There will be many fruit flavors that girls like, you can also try them first Drink; if you don’t drink alcohol, there are also lemon drinks, cold brew tea, and coffee💕 📍No. 51, Section 1, Zhongshan North Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei City # Taiwanese flavor # Craft Beer # Salty Crispy Chicken # Zhongshan Station

Taipei accommodation, I only stay here when I come to Taipei!!! The room is very spacious, with a whole floor-to-ceiling window, and the room is well-lit! The overall design is modern wood tone, a very comfortable space. The key is that it is super comfortable to sleep!!! The hotel address is also great! It is next to Shandao Temple Station, close to Taipei Main Station and Huashan 1914 Creative Park. There are also Fu Hang Dou Jiang, Shuang Yue Food Club, and Xingbo Coffee nearby. The breakfast provided by the hotel is also from the Starbucks downstairs (this Starbucks downstairs is also one of the few large floor-to-ceiling windows in Taipei! I like it very much!) It belongs to the Hilton brand, and the exterior design is also very grand and low-key. FREE Imini bar Taipei Times Residence No. 7, Linsen South Road, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City

The popular coffee shop from Fukuoka, 'No Coffee,' is located near Zhongshan MRT Station. NO COFFEE's first store in Taiwan! I've heard that the lines are crazy long on weekends... On weekdays, you might wait around 30 minutes, which is better. The overall color scheme is the usual black, white, and gray, presenting a simple yet stylish and sophisticated charm. 💕 🥐 The croissants are very crispy, a must-try for croissant lovers! ✔️ Taiwan-exclusive 'Red Bean Salted Butter Croissant' $135, with a perfect balance of sweet and salty red bean filling and butter that adds a great touch. 😋 ✔️ The Truffle Golden Honey Black Croissant $130 is also very popular. ✔️ I ordered the Sesame Latte, but the coffee felt quite ordinary. Besides drinks and croissants, the store also sells various merchandise like clothes and bags. Located on the 1st floor of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Nanxi Store 3, it also offers a semi-outdoor seating area. I even snapped a photo of the matcha-filled croissant from the influencer at the next table. 🥰 📍 1F, No. 15 Nanjing West Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei City

This is definitely a must-visit European cafe for bread lovers. It's a bakery where you can take a break from your busy schedule, with comfortable and spacious indoor seating, and I personally love the outdoor area. There are many types of bread available, both sweet and savory, including various sourdough breads, croissants, and light meals. 💕 🥖 Personal preferences vary greatly. Although I'm not a big fan of very hard sourdough bread, their bread is chewy and has a wheat aroma, which is rare for me to finish the whole thing. Highly recommend the chocolate round croissant, with a molten chocolate center! When heated, the croissant's outer layer becomes so crispy that it's astonishing. 🥖 Many people take a bag home. The most popular items are the plain croissant, sea salt butter roll, tomato basil ciabatta. The cinnamon roll is quite ordinary, but the hojicha-flavored apple pie is excellent. 👍 Located in an alley, the bakery has a bit of a literary vibe and a secret garden feel, which makes it even more charming. 🥰😋 📍 1st Floor, No. 375-3, Siwei Road, Da'an District, Taipei City

Actually, the Korean owner started in Australia, then opened a branch in New York which became a hit and was hailed as a must-visit for specialty coffee in New York. The black and white minimalist decor is simple, and while the coffee didn't attract me, the croissants left a deep impression. Besides the Breeze Nanshan branch, a second branch has recently opened in Songshan. Hurry and experience being a New Yorker 💕 🥐 Blueberry Yogurt Croissant: The sweet and sour taste pairs perfectly with the crispy exterior and soft interior of the croissant. This is my personal favorite flavor 😋 🥐 Tiramisu Croissant: Mascarpone cream sprinkled with cocoa powder, and it comes with a coffee dropper to add flavor as you like. But it's quite messy to eat 😂 ☕️ Flat White Coffee: You can choose between light-medium roast or medium-dark roast. I opted for the light-medium roast, which was rich and smooth, perfect with the dessert. 📍 1F, No. 12, Lane 83, Section 1, Keelung Road, Xinyi District, Taipei City (Eslite Songyan)

The pavilion by the pond is a perfect spot to relax, quietly admire the lotus flowers, and feel the gentle breeze, as if time has slowed down.

Dadaocheng has always been the place that embodies the spirit of the Lunar New Year for me. I still remember the year I sold New Year's goods here; the entire street was bustling with crowds, and the sounds of vendors calling out filled the air, creating an incredibly lively atmosphere. That period was filled with busyness and joy. Watching customers' satisfied expressions as they selected their New Year's goods, you could feel their anticipation for the holiday. Now, every year-end, I still return to Dadaocheng to experience the hustle and bustle of the streets. Walking along the New Year's Market Street, seeing the creative products from new shops, and tasting familiar snacks, the familiar lively atmosphere still remains vivid in my memory.

#Michelin #michelin #Taipei French restaurant #Michelin star chef French female chef Florence Dalia finally promoted Taipei's L'ATELIER de Joel Robuchon French restaurant (L'ATELIER de Joel Robuchon) from one Michelin star to two stars for three consecutive years in 2021; she left Robuchon in 2022 and joined the new restaurant in June 2023. Opened "16 by Flo", which serves 8 traditional French dishes with Burgundy dishes or ingredients as the design focus. It was selected in the 2023 Michelin Guide in less than 2 months💕 Although I really want to support women’s power, again, I really don’t like French food🙄 🌟 What we pursue when it comes to food is fresh ingredients, which we must do because of high-end restaurants. Next is whether the seasoning techniques can bring out the soul of the ingredients~ Take the dish of Hokkaido scallop and vanilla dumplings, champagne stock foam, and sea desert cream as an example. It probably reflects that the chef’s ability to hold many stars is not limited, the delicateness of the entrance is superb, but he just doesn’t have the feeling of love that he wants to come back 😂 🌟What I like very much is that you can watch Flo cooking up close. Watching people cooking is a bonus that I find very enjoyable. Despite my personal preference, from a neutral perspective, Taipei French food is definitely among the top. This year, Florence won It’s easy to get one or even two Michelin stars👍 📍 4-1, Lane 118, Section 2, Heping East Road, Da'an District, Taipei City

#xinyidistrictfood #roast-roasted-roast-restaurant #roast-for-roast #date-restaurant #roast-roasted-roast My friend is wondering why the store is named like this? I responded casually, "If you don't have meat, you will panic." Unexpectedly, when I opened the menu, I found the original intention of opening the store: only when I eat meat can I feel at ease and not panic 😂 🌟The key to each of their meat products is to select the most essential part of the meat. It’s no wonder that all beef, pig, chicken and mutton here are delicious; from Japanese A5 Wagyu, Australian M9+ Wagyu to American beef, they are all available. Those who love beef will not be disappointed~ There is also a super eye-catching signature crab paste and scallop rice, which is unforgettable! 🌟 Recommended meals? It is definitely a set meal for two people. Whether it is the portion size or the selection of ingredients, it is just right for two people. It is actually really filling. The whole process is grilled by a dedicated person and it also feels like a distinguished guest. It echoes... "You just have to focus on enjoying eating meat. Leave it to us to grill the meat💕" 🥩When you are worried about meat, you don’t just eat roasted pork Enjoy a sumptuous food journey😋 📍No. 15, Lane 147, Section 1, Keelung Road, Xinyi District, Taipei City

The best part is that everything from desserts and coffee to meals is super delicious 😋 🌟 Must-Try Squid Ink Pasta: One of the signature dishes, it's stir-fried with a hint of spiciness to enhance the overall flavor. The seafood is fresh and flavorful, and you won't be able to stop eating it. 🌟 Earl Grey Caramel Pudding: The pudding is amazing, with a distinct Earl Grey aroma. It's soft and delicious, bringing a sense of happiness with every bite. 🌟 Mango Jin Xuan Coffee: A must-try! The coffee surprisingly blends well with mango and Jin Xuan tea, even non-coffee drinkers will find it delicious 💕 ✔️ Tuberose Osmanthus Cream Cold Brew: It has a rich flavor with a noticeable osmanthus aroma. 📍 No. 3, Lane 160, Yanji Street, Da'an District, Taipei City (About a 4-minute walk from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Station)

"Ji Yuan Sichuan Restaurant" is a well-known establishment in Taipei, famous for its clay pot chicken soup and various Sichuan and Chinese dishes. It's perfect for gatherings where everyone can enjoy a hearty meal! The dining area is mainly located on the basement floor. After going downstairs, you'll find a spacious area with round tables as the main seating arrangement. There are also private rooms available for larger groups, and the overall environment is comfortable. Recommended Dishes: 🌟 Clay Pot Bamboo Fungus Chicken Soup: I love the soft and tender bamboo fungus that absorbs the rich soup. When the soup is half-finished, you can ask the staff to add cabbage and tofu, which will enhance the chicken soup with a sweet vegetable flavor. 🌟 Shredded Pork in Peking Sauce + Scallion Pancakes: These two items need to be ordered separately. The chewy scallion pancakes paired with the flavorful shredded pork in Peking sauce are a perfect match. 🌟 Fish-Fragrant Eggplant: The soft and slightly spicy eggplant is very appetizing and goes well with rice. 🌟 Thick Pancakes: Filled with plenty of scallions, the crispy exterior and fragrant interior make for a delightful bite. 🌟 Ji Yuan Tofu: A simple dish, but the tofu is surprisingly flavorful with a crispy exterior and tender interior. This time, seven people dined together, enjoying nearly ten dishes and a pot of chicken soup, with an average cost of 1200 TWD per person. It was very satisfying and delicious!",

Dadaocheng has always been one of my favorite corners in Taipei. That day, while casually strolling through the old streets, I happened to pass by TWATUTIA Coffee & Co., which had been on my list for a long time but I had never visited. The two-story space combines coffee and lifestyle goods in a mixed-use space. The interior decor retains the layout of the old house, blending industrial design to create a somewhat nostalgic yet very modern atmosphere. I really like it 💚 On that day, there were only me and another customer in the store. I sat alone at a spot by the second-floor window, ordered an iced latte and a beef sandwich, and simply satisfied my brief hunger while watching the street view outside. I really appreciate that this city has a quiet corner where one can stay. There is nothing more blissful in life than this. If you are interested in old house cafes or lifestyle goods stores, TWATUTIA is definitely a place worth visiting. ////////// Store Information ////////// ✅ TWATUTIA Coffee & Co.

#solotrip I finally took a solo trip to Taiwan, and one of my highlights was visiting Pop Mart. If you’re a fan of designer toys, collectibles, or just cute and unique art, you’ll love this place as much as I did. Pop Mart feels like stepping into a magical world. The bright lights, colorful displays, and carefully curated figures are all so eye-catching. I spent so much time just walking around, admiring the beautiful setups – it felt like a mini art exhibition. One thing I loved was the way each display was decorated with such detail. They had everything from blind box exclusives to mega-sized figurines. I even got to see some of my favorite characters up close, like Molly and Panda. The whole experience felt so immersive, almost like a dream for any collector. If you’re planning a solo trip to Taiwan, visiting Pop Mart is a must – whether you’re a fan of toys or just want to see something different and fun. You’ll leave with a smile (and maybe a cute little blind box figure to bring home!).

#solotrip Last week, I went on my first solo trip to Taiwan, and one of my favorite stops was Pop Mart. As someone who loves cute figurines and blind box toys, this place felt like a dream come true. The moment I saw the store from the outside, I was already excited! The bright yellow windows and colorful signs made it stand out. Inside, the store was even better – shelves and displays full of adorable collectibles. Every corner had something fun to explore, from tiny figures to themed decorations. I also loved how the store design made the whole experience feel magical. There were huge statues of the figurines and creative setups everywhere. I spent hours just looking around and picking out my favorite blind boxes to bring home. The joy of opening them to see what you get is unbeatable! If you’re a fan of Pop Mart or just cute things in general, this place is a must-visit when you’re in Taiwan. It’s not just shopping; it’s like stepping into a world of art and fun.

#ChristmasGoodPlace2024 # FoodExploration Shop # Korean Cuisine # Dinner restaurant What’s a good place to have a year-end holiday dinner? The Korean restaurant opened by artist Huaiqiu and his brother has great taste. The simple decoration truly presents the ingredients to consumers. The portions are delicious and large. Come give it a try this Christmas and New Year's Eve dinner~ 🌟This is a Korean style pocket list recommended by a friend. We didn’t expect to see a celebrity serving us. Even if we are not his fans, we will be happy💕But the most important thing is that in Taipei where Korean style is competitive, it is still above the standard. ✔️Sweet and sour pork is my favorite. The large slices of meat paired with sour sauce are very appetizing. ✔️Though the spicy stir-fried Chunchuan chicken has a strong taste and is covered in cheese, it is still delicious ✔️The army pot is cheap and big, full of ingredients and satisfying 💯Other free side dishes are really thoughtful and delicious, the snow soup is very suitable for winter; the copper plate roast beef is more ordinary, but paired with a glass of makgeolli rice wine, the authentic Korean taste is just right😋 📍 No. 54, Lane 260, Guangfu South Road, Daan District, Taipei City

#ChristmasGreatPlaces2024 The Taiwan Museum is located in Zhongzheng District, Taipei City. This building with more than a hundred years of history is not only a cultural palace that witnesses the history of Taiwan, but also a treasure trove of memories of time. From the moment you approach the museum, the contrast between the weight of history and the bustling modern city makes people feel awe-struck. Magnificent architecture and historical atmosphere The architectural design of the Taiwan Museum combines Baroque and neoclassical styles, making it solemn yet elegant. The huge columns and arches at the entrance seem to take visitors through time and into colonial Taiwan. The white exterior walls shine in the sunlight, and the interior wooden stairs and ceiling carvings exude the atmosphere of time. Entering the museum, we were greeted by Taiwan’s geology and ecology exhibition. Models and photos of natural landscapes such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and coral reefs vividly reproduce the creation process of this land. Each exhibition hall is carefully designed to display Taiwan's rich cultural and natural heritage layer by layer, from the natural environment to human history. Theme Exhibition: Exploring the Diverse Faces of Taiwan Taiwan Museum is famous for its diverse exhibitions covering history, archaeology, ecology and anthropology. When I walked into the "Aboriginal Culture Exhibition", pictures depicting the diversity of ethnic groups seemed to unfold before my eyes. The exhibition hall displays the traditional costumes, utensils and living customs of the Paiwan, Ami and other aboriginal peoples, coupled with multimedia interactive devices, making history seem alive. Another thing that impressed me deeply was the "Special Exhibition of the Japanese Occupation Period". The social changes and modernization process of Taiwan during the colonial period are displayed here with a wealth of documents, old photos and historical objects. Especially the ancient railway model reminds people of the busy station and the rumble of steam trains at that time. Interaction and learning: a journey for the whole family The Taiwan Museum is not only a paradise for history lovers, but also a great place to bring children. There are multiple interactive areas in the museum where children can participate in archaeological excavation simulations, assemble models of ancient buildings, and even experience the age of dinosaurs through virtual reality. Both knowledge and fun make the whole visit dynamic. Rest and Meditation: Meditation in History After the visit, I stopped for a while at the "228 Peace Memorial Park" next to the museum. This lush park and museum complement each other and provide a space for reflection and reflection. Looking at the tranquil pool of water and the shadows of flowers in the garden, what comes to mind is the scenes of Taiwan's past in the exhibition just now. write at the end The Taiwan Museum is a three-dimensional history book and a microcosm of Taiwan's diverse culture. Every visit is a rich learning journey. Whether you are a local or a traveler from overseas, Taiwan Museum is worth exploring. When you stroll among the exhibition halls, you will deeply appreciate the resilience and beauty of this land.
