"Taipei"



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




no feeding






On the way up the mountain, lovely murals accompany you all the way






Lucky cat shop, you can find more cats






piano stairs






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~





one page, ten



"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.

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

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

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.

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.

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~

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.

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
