The youth born in the 80s is always associated with Taiwan. Listening to Jay Chou's songs, watching Cai Kangyong's Kangxi is Coming, and reading Xi Murong's novels, Taiwan is always associated with literature and art in the hearts of our post-80s. A place to go once.
I went to Taiwan in 2018. In my impression, Taiwan seems to be synonymous with freshness. I finally saw Zhongxiao East Road, Kenting, and Danshui Road in the lyrics I heard when I was adolescence. I sigh, my youth is finally complete. .
In addition to going to the places that I have been talking about when I was listening to songs when I was a child, I also found a lot of small and exquisite tourist attractions in Taipei this time, which are suitable for punching in and taking pictures. If you plan to go to Taipei, you must not miss it
Maokong, a place suitable for drinking tea and looking at the scenery in a daze.
When I was studying, I read "Maokong Love Story" by Fujiiki. Although I forgot the specific content, I always remembered the name. At first I thought it was a random name. It turned out that it was a real name in Taipei. There is Maokong this place.
There are no cats in Maokong, but it is named because the river bed here has been drilled and eroded by pebbles for many years, and the water flow is like cat's claw marks. This used to be one of the largest tea producing areas in Taipei, and now it has become the favorite back garden for people in Taipei to drink tea and go out in the green.
When you come to Maokong, you must take the Maokong cable car. There are two kinds of cable cars. Daring friends can take the crystal car called the eye of the cat cable. The fully transparent bottom makes people enjoy the feeling of floating.
Take the Maokong cable car, walk in the tea garden, find a tea room to drink a sip of Muzha Tieguanyin, there are many hidden trails in Maokong, Zhanghu Trail, Camphor Tree Trail, go hiking in the mountains, and enjoy the mountains and teahouses. The leisurely picture scroll composed of lights, you don’t need to do too many strategies when you come to Maokong, just to breathe the fresh air and experience the occasional leisurely mood in the mountains.
Xiangshan, overlooking the best check-in point in Taipei
In addition to 101 and Maokong, there is another best place in Taipei to overlook the night view of Taipei. That is Xiangshan. Take the subway directly to Xiangshan Station. The transportation is convenient. If you come to Taipei during the New Year’s Eve, you can choose to go to 101 to watch the fireworks. The top of Xiangshan Mountain is definitely a niche photo spot with few people and beautiful scenery.
Dadaocheng and Dihua Street belong to the memories of old Taipei.
If you want to feel the old taste of Taiwan, you must not miss "Dadaocheng". Today, there are still many ancient traditional Chinese medicine stores, north-south dry goods stores, tea, cloth shops, etc., and the Dihua Street in Dadaocheng, with a total length of about 800 meters, is the most complete old street in Taipei City. More than 70 exquisite old-fashioned buildings are neatly arranged, which is a magnificent sight. Walking on Dihua Old Street, there is an illusion of going back in time, as if returning to Taipei back then.
The Xiahai Town God's Temple in Taipei on Dihua Street has a history of more than 100 years. It is an important religious center in Dadaocheng and often holds lively temple fairs. The Xiahai Town God's Temple also has the most efficacious Yuelao. Many single men and women come here especially. A small temple does have a very strong incense, not only tourists, but many locals will come to pray for themselves. In addition to those who came to ask for marriage, there were also many men and women who were led by Yuelao to the red line and brought wedding cakes to fulfill their wishes. Friends who want to get out of singles must come here to make a wish.
Pier5 Dadaocheng Riverside Special Zone is a newly built container market at Dadaocheng Wharf since 2018, bringing new vitality to the ancient Dadaocheng.
This is a music, cultural and creative wharf market mainly built with container houses, which not only adds a lot of crowds, but also makes this place full of vitality. Especially when the sun is setting and the sun is setting, the market lights up a string of light bulbs hanging in the air. The atmosphere is particularly good. Or at night, the city on the other side is brightly lit, and the scenery reflected on the water is also quite charming. It is also a great choice to take a walk here after dinner.
In Dadaocheng, the "Dadaocheng Valentine's Day" is held every summer on the Qixi Festival. Crowds of people pour into Dadaocheng just to bet on the wonderful fireworks show and confess and hug each other, especially after it is reflected on the water. It is a perfect visual feast.
Go to the street in the morning to look at the nostalgic red bricks and roof tiles, and go back to history with those buildings that have been refined by history. In the evening, you can watch the fireworks show. I believe that a trip here will definitely leave you with beautiful and romantic memories.
Bopiliao Old Street, feel the taste of Taipei
In 1996, Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien’s "Love in the Wind and Dust" was filmed in Bopiliao's "Sun Production Office", but it was the Taiwanese movie "Monga" that really made Bopiliao Old Street popular. 90% of the scenes in the play were completed here. Afterwards, Bopiliao became more and more famous. With the help of the movie "Monga", Bopiliao became the epitome of old Taipei, the historical epitome and cultural landmark of old Mengka, as well as the current Taipei fashion cultural and creative park.
In addition to feeling the architecture of old Taipei, you can also experience a lot of Taipei snacks and delicacies here. Longdu Bingguo, Zhouji Pork Porridge, Xiaowang Qingtang Melon Pork, Chenji Oyster Noodles, these delicacies full of nostalgic names, each seems to reveal a sense of age, but it is also the oldest flavor of Bopiliao.
There are more than 101 in Taipei, not only the Forbidden City, but also many old streets and alleys with a unique flavor of Taipei. I look forward to meeting Taipei again.
