This book called "Taipei", each page is different, or lively, or cute, or fresh, or natural, or long
In Houtong, have another date with the lovely cats
A simple station in the mountains, from here, the golds started their journey
Facing the sea breeze and listening to the sound of the sea, it is their strength that makes Yehliu unique.
Jiufen, the stretch of mountains connected to the bay, that is poetry and the distance
Come to Keelung and enjoy a sea feast
Dadaocheng, walking through the historical corridor, touching the traces of the years
Decorate life with creativity, Songshan Cultural and Creative District, there is always a suitable for you
There is a feeling called waiting for the train
At the foot of Yangming Mountain, soak in a hot spring and feel the little luck of going down the mountain
The jubilation of food, the weeding of Bib Gourmand, there is always a mouthful waiting for you
One page, Matsuyama Culture and Creativity
When I first heard about the Cultural and Creative District, my first reaction might be to stay in a literary and artistic factory. I never thought that this is a magical place.
Walking here from the subway, you have to go around the periphery for a long time. As soon as you arrive at Songshan, you can see that this place grows in the forest. Everything is so natural and leisurely.
The vegetation here is lush, as if in a virgin forest.
Matsuyama Culture and Creation, formerly known as "Taiwan Governor's Mansion Monopoly Bureau Matsuyama Tobacco Factory", the architectural style belongs to Japanese early modernism, with simple and elegant forms, and fine workmanship of facing bricks, glazed glass and copper nails, retaining the historical charm of Japanese early modernism.
You can find a great photo spot everywhere, like an elf in the forest
Cultural creation is basically some common objects that people creatively make, displayed and sold, embodying the ingenious heart of every craftsman
"Literature and art" may be the most suitable vocabulary for cultural and creative districts today. The decorations that can be seen everywhere make people full of literature and art.
From potted plants, to hand-made accessories, to girls' small things, all are made by every creative person
Of course, there are not only cultural and creative shops, but some specific venues will also have corresponding exhibitions. For example, we came across the graduation design exhibition of the Department of Architecture, which was so exquisite that it was amazing
One scene one world
The cultural and creative area is very large, divided into several buildings, including Eslite, which can be said to be a gathering place for cultural creation and small literature and art
The Japanese-style factory style in another building has now become a gathering place for small cultural and creative exhibitions
We did not enter some paid exhibitions, because there is not much shopping demand
The door coincided with the road show platform, and I started my performance again when there were many plays
One Page, Dadaocheng
If you want to know what old Taiwan looked like, then you must visit Dadaocheng in Taipei.
Dadaocheng, Lin Lantian, an immigrant from Tong’an in Quanzhou Prefecture, moved from Keelung to Dadaocheng in order to avoid pirates, and built three southern Fujian-style buildings. These are the earliest shops in Dadaocheng. Dadaocheng built the Xiahai City God Temple and became one of the most important faith centers in Taipei.
Here, there are a lot of the most primitive flavors of Taipei, if you are nostalgic, you can come here
The street is dominated by arcades, quiet summer afternoon
Dadaocheng Pedestrian Street is very lively, and it also presents the former bustle for tourists who come here
The stalls on the side of the road are full of foodies. In such a hot summer, how can we not have a bowl of ice cream~
sweet strawberry sweet heart
The buildings are all the same as before, which makes people feel back to old Taipei
The street is mainly engaged in medicinal material stores, dried seafood, etc., and it is very lively.
The most famous Town God's Temple in Dadaocheng, where people pray for blessings
Dadaocheng also has a lot of street food, but we can’t taste it after we just had lunch, we can only wait for the next time
Small scenes that can be seen everywhere in Taiwan
Just ten minutes from Dadaocheng Old Street, you can reach Dadaocheng Wharf. The wharf was an important gateway for goods entering and leaving the area.
Today's Tamsui River has become a scenic spot in Taipei.
After walking through Dadaocheng, the northernmost section is Dihua Street
The architecture of Dihua Old Street is also very tasteful.
Caress the carvings of history
The memories of the era are deeply displayed in every place
Now such old buildings have become some shops
If you have enough time, you can walk through the streets and alleys to find some more historical things
The decoration of literature and art makes the old street come alive
Walking on the road of this ancient street

The Maokong Cable Car is now a must-visit place for literary youths in Taipei. It turns out that Maokong is a continuous mountainous area, where tea is produced, and tea tasting is the main thing on the mountain. The Maokong cable car shuttles between the mountains and reaches the top of the mountain.
There is a fully transparent cable car in the Maokong cable car
Fully transparent ground, see below, are you afraid?
The city in the distance is clearly visible
The weather in Taipei in June is a bit unstable, and there is a heavy rain from time to time
In the end, I didn’t play on it for long. In order to avoid the rain, I took the free bus and went down the mountain. But if you come again next time, let’s try the tea ceremony again.

Houtong, a small town on the Pingxi Line, has become a cat village because of the abundance of cats, and it has also become a holy place in the hearts of literary girls.
Because there are so many cats, the local people began to feed these cats, and the village is the home of cats. Later, the local area decorated the village and became a cat village. Now you can see all kinds of cat owners everywhere, and they can play together, which is very interesting
Looking for a good opportunity, we must show cuteness with cats
It is also an important station on the Pingxi Line between the mountains
Wait for a car bound for the future at the station with the kittens~
The cat owner doesn't look very happy, maybe it's too hot~
The sick cat is kept in a cage for rest, obediently
Sick cats need rest, let's take it easy
The cat here is carefree and relaxed in that sleeping position

The restaurant on the top floor of the village is full of cat themes
Are you looking forward to the wonderful journey with cats~
Even the toilets are in the style of such a cute cat. From the moment you leave the station, you will be with the cat. Such a cute style can only be found in Houtong~

"Very" "Happy", have you come today?
The seemingly small and refreshing Pingxi Line has many natural beauties, and it can also be majestic.
Walking through the suspension bridge is to walk into the palace of elves
The weather is fine, the stream is flowing, and there is a peaceful atmosphere
From here you can lead to the Shifen Waterfall, a cable bridge for people on one side and a bridge for trains on the other.
We saw a small waterfall first, and we were all amazed by its beauty.
Waiting for a train at the crossing is the most artistic way to play in Taiwan
Shifen Waterfall, between the canyons, this season has a lot of water, rumbling
Admire the wonderful scenery among the mountains
One Page, Yangmingshan
"I want to go to Yangmingshan alone to watch calla lilies and make idol dramas." Dai Peini sang softly, as if it was a kind of magic that attracted me
When I came to Yangmingshan, although I knew it was the season, I still couldn't help but want to come up and take a look.
Yangmingshan, located in the north of Taipei, is also a part of the volcano, so the hot spring resources here are also very rich. Taking a minibus up the mountain from the station, you will bypass several sulfur-smelling geothermal valleys, and then reach Zhuzi Lake in Yangmingshan.
There is no lake here, but a sea of flowers
Calla lilies are a bit like lilies. Although they are not so vigorous after the season, they still grow cutely in the fields.
Rather than saying that it looks like a mountain, it is more like a village in the mountains
Small bridges and flowing water, it feels very fresh
Of course, the hydrangea season has passed, and there are only a few left for us to recall
Of course, there are always some wild flowers on the side of the road that also make us linger
The coming torrential rain made us hurry down the mountain. This is Beitou, a hot spring town
It is a pity that the Hot Spring Museum cannot be entered during maintenance. Influenced by Japanese culture, the street feels very similar
The small stream flows through the small town, a peaceful scene
In the geothermal valley, it is steaming and full of flavor, but here is also a variety of lush vegetation
It's a pity that I didn't stay here for a night to soak in the hot springs
It is not difficult to see from the vegetation here that it is a typical volcanic landform vegetation.

Everyone is familiar with Michelin, and it is also a gourmet list that everyone embraces now.
Taiwan Junpin, a Michelin restaurant famous for its Cantonese cuisine, and here we enjoyed a special Taiwanese table dish~
The room is a specially selected Taiwanese ancient style, as if returning to the previous era

The characteristics of making a table are economical, affordable, generous, usually a table of twelve dishes, from cold dishes, hot dishes to soups, desserts; ), let those who were not present share the rest of the meal. .

The beautiful night view from Junpin
The first course is hard vegetables and seafood, all kinds of cold dishes, composed of fresh seafood and offal, the taste is unforgettable
Abalone, squid, pork liver, sausage, the taste is melt in the mouth, I really can't stop chopsticks
I heard that canned conch is hard to find now, but they are really hard dishes
Entering the section of hot dishes, in fact, the appetizer has already made us half full. The second dish, pork knuckle noodle roll, surprised us with its large portion. Of course, the taste is also rich and delicious.
Fresh fish with five willow branches, the fish is slightly fried, but it is as tender as steamed, and it is more delicious with the special salty and sweet juice
Even the vegetarian meals are so exquisite

Taro stew, sweet but not greasy, unfortunately I can't eat much
It is very difficult to locate here, and it takes a long time in advance, but it is worth a visit~

Every city has its nightlife, but the nightlife represented by each city is quite different. If you want to talk about where the nightlife in Taipei is, old Taipei people, I must tell you, here...
The drizzle in Taiwan at night, stepping on the rhythm of the night, we came to EZ5
EZ5, the oldest live house in Taipei, has a fixed list of singers every day. It has also made a series of popular singers, such as Huang Xiaohu, Xiao Huangqi, Peng Jiahui, Lin Zhixuan, A-lin and other powerful singers. Many people call it As "the cradle of Taiwanese pop music".
Now, I come to pull weeds with my friends, and the seats are already full before it’s time
As expected of a well-known live house, order a pot of wine, one night, just follow the singing, swaying, and the singer's beautiful throat also makes us deeply intoxicated
If you also come to Taipei, you must spend one night here to listen to music
One Page, Bib Gourmand
Everywhere we go, what attracts us is always the food. There are so many delicacies in Taiwan, and there are always endless choices every time. And this time, let me follow the "Bib Gourmand" list to tell you food stories~
1. Maoyuan
Maoyuan is an old brand of Taiwanese cuisine, and there are thousands of people queuing up every day. Specializing in seafood and fine Taiwanese cuisine.

Fried fish, the fish is fried very finely, served with pepper, perfect
Foie gras, neither fat nor greasy, one bite is not addictive at all
2. Raohe Night Market
Raohe Street Tourist Night Market is located on Raohe Street, Songshan District, Taipei City. There are three Bib Gourmand restaurants here~
When you get out of the subway and see the temple, you are at Raohe Night Market.
At the entrance is the first Bib Gourmand - Fuzhou Shizu Pepper Cake. Even though it was raining, there was still a long queue
The inside of the pancake is filled with peppery meat, and the outer skin is fried and crispy. No wonder so many people love it.
The second one, Shi Boss Stinky Tofu
Not to mention the deep-fried stinky tofu, you don’t know until you come here, this is the stinky tofu and blood in Taiwan’s spicy hot pot, of course it’s delicious, served with condiments
The third one, Chen Dong medicine stewed pork ribs
I guess this is the best pork rib soup I have ever tasted. The soup is so fresh that I can’t stop eating it. The bones are so tender that you don’t need to chew on them. A serving of NT$75 has 6 bones and a lot of meat. The price/performance ratio is really too high
3. Jianhong Beef Noodles
No. 7 Xining South Road, Wanhua District. A beef noodle shop very close to Dadaocheng
The beef noodles are the thick ones, and the offal or beef only costs NT$90. The food is very honest and the taste is very fragrant
4. Ningxia Night Market
From Minsheng West Road to Nanjing West Road. Two Bib Gourmand stores.

Egg yolk taro balls, the egg yolk is wrapped in the balls and fried crispy, you can see how popular it is just by looking at the queue
Pork Liver Rongzai, although it is Bib Gourmand, really wants to give this restaurant a bad review. The attitude is super bad, and the soup is really not good. Whether you want to go or not depends on your personal preference.
5. Fuhang Soy Milk
Address: 2nd Floor, No. 108, Section 1, Zhongxiao East Road, Zhongzheng District
This is a super internet celebrity breakfast. You have to queue for an hour to eat it. The main products are salty soy milk and green onion omelette. It has become one of the places where tourists check in.
The taste of soy milk is very strong, but I prefer sweet soy milk
Thick Pie with Egg
Salty pastry with shredded radish inside, this one is very delicious~
One page, Yehliu
Here, there are endless changes. It is the power of nature that creates this magical form. Under the beating of the waves, it waits quietly for everyone who comes to try to understand him.
This is Yehliu, a magical coastline on the northeast coast of Taiwan.
Yehliu, a headland protruding from the sea, is about 1,700 meters long. Due to sea erosion and weathering and crustal movement, sea erosion caves, honeycomb stones, candlestones, tofu stones, mushroom rocks, potholes, and erosion plates have been created. List of strange landscapes.
There are many strange shapes in the mushroom rock area, it will be very interesting to use your imagination
Honeycomb-shaped stones are densely distributed on the reef, and cannot be stepped on, because they are easily damaged, and their formation is also difficult~
Reefs like big mushrooms

Such magnificence is connected with the blue sea, which makes people linger
Look closely, there are more strangely shaped reefs
I don’t want to leave, I hold an umbrella under the scorching sun, sit on the reef, watch the sea beat against the coastline of strange rocks, watch the sea cockroaches busily coming and going on the reef, time slips away quietly

What a pleasant thing it is to be at the seaside, blowing the sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean with the reefs

In the Keelung Night Market, you may be able to find the most exclusive food for you. Even the people of Keelung are proud of it, because it is also the Miaokou Night Market near Miaokou.
In the sweltering heat of Taiwan in June, a cup of Lemon Aiyu Juice is the only way to save it. This drink from Taiwan will always be my first choice and favorite when I come here
Here, the price is not as expensive as in Taipei, so you can enjoy the food
The whole night market is so lively
The night market here is in the shape of a cross, and the ones near the temple entrance are neatly arranged according to the shop numbers.

This is the second time, the same entrance, the same old street, the same shop
At noon, head straight to your favorite fish ball shop
The same heat, the same fish ball soup, arouses many memories of the last time
I have always thought that the most beautiful place in Jiufen is this folk house built on the mountain, with red lanterns hanging on both sides, there is always a kind of festive Chinese New Year, and warmly welcomes those who return home
Although the current Jiufen store is full of people and people, if you can see some of the original appearance, maybe it will be more popular.
Amei Tea House, Jiufen's signature attraction, has also become a must-see pilgrimage spot in Jiufen
And I am just a passer-by in Jiufen, always passing by in such a hurry
Looking at the bay in the distance, I thought of some people, some things, all kinds of things that were left in the memory of the past...
One Page, Jinguashi
Jinguashi is named because the mountain shape of big and small pumpkins looks like pumpkins, but it was also the hottest place for gold rush back then. Every building and facility left over from the gold rush tells the story of what happened here that year
The train tracks left over from the railway on the mountainside
Although there is no mine to see how to pan for gold that day, the restoration of the museum allows us to really feel the upsurge of gold panning
The scenic area is not big, but it is very artistically decorated
The former train station, very Japanese style, but very tasteful
wait for a train
How heavy is the ore, and you can lift it up to feel it yourself
Taiwan is more marketing-savvy. The restaurant sells the same bento as in the past. If you buy the deluxe version, you can also get a lunch box. You can take it home. It’s very similar to the old days.
Even the tofu here is very smooth and tender, a good product for escaping the heat
Let's take a look at the residence of absenteeism
The decoration is very Japanese style, as if you have come to Japan, the tatami design
Touching the traces of time, walking through the corridors of ancient houses

From Shanghai to Taiwan, there are Taipei and Kaohsiung. There are also many airlines to choose from. This time I chose EVA Air, a five-star airline, and the experience is really different.
Regular economy class on the outbound journey, upgraded to premium economy class on the return journey
The menu of the premium economy class is sent to everyone in advance to choose today's meal
The standard of the meal is also very good. The staple food is beef with mashed potatoes, which is my favorite taste. There is also Haagen-Dazs ice cream. I am really happy~
The general fare of low-cost airlines from Shanghai to Taiwan is between 1400-2000, while Evergreen is only in the early 2000s, but it is still worth choosing to have such a great flying experience~
One Page, Taipei Business Hotel
Let me tell you a story about a chance encounter. One morning, when I was sleepy and came to the restaurant, I just looked up when I was seated, and saw Eason Chan sitting in the courtyard...
This is Les Suites Taipei, a secluded hotel next to Nanjing Fuxing MRT Station. The elegant environment and considerate service make my stay in Taipei feel like home these days
Maybe it's because it's very close to the Arena. I heard that celebrities prefer this place, it's warm and elegant
The courtyard is not big, but it is also quiet in the middle of the noise, the sun is pouring in, and it has a special flavor if it is not in the sun.
The room is large, very quiet, comfortable for a good night's sleep, and busy working at the desk
Of course, the most important thing is that there is a certain chance to meet your idol~ But everyone is of high quality and will not disturb the life of the stars. We also stayed until eason had finished his breakfast before going forward to ask for an autograph~ The people from Eason are really nice. They asked us to write our names while signing the autograph, and chatted a lot. They were very funny and humorous. They became fans~
Follow-up: Eason Chan won the title of King of Songs at the Golden Melody Awards of the day~

3. Taipei MRT, Taoyuan Airport Line
When I came to Taiwan 2 years ago, there was no MRT, and I needed to take a bus. Now, with the MRT, I no longer have to worry about being stuck in traffic and unable to catch up with the plane~
The MRT goes directly to Taipei Main Station, and it is quite convenient to walk to other MRTs
