My Perfect Weekend in China: Top Spots to Visit in Taipei

Taipei, New Taipei City, and Qujing served up some wildly photogenic city scenes, ancient alleyways, and unexpected gems on this trip 🚶✨. I got up close with heritage spots, history museums, iconic gates, and a legendary old tea house—Taiwan’s culture really knows how to charm!

Top Spots to Visit
⛩️ Dazhong Gate (No. 21 Zhongshan S Rd, Zhongzheng District, Taipei) — Start your adventure here from 9am-6pm. Snap those classic Taipei shots and soak in the architecture.
🥟 Jiufen Old Street (Jishan St, Ruifang District, New Taipei City) — Wander through nostalgia from 10am-8pm. The alleys are packed with local snacks, lanterns, and souvenir stalls; don’t skip the peanut ice cream roll!
🍵 Artist Teahouse (No. 308 Qingbian Rd, Ruifang District, New Taipei City) — Chill with a view and savory tea at this creative hotspot, open 1:30pm–8pm. It’s the perfect recharge after climbing Jiufen’s steps.
🏛️ Liberty Square (No. 21 Zhongshan S Rd) — Open all day. Sprawling plaza, iconic arches, and cultural events. Great spot for people-watching and morning strolls.
🚢 Evergreen Maritime Museum (Zhongshan S Rd, 5F, No. 11, Taipei) — If shipping history or model ships are your jam, head here from 9am-5pm. Quiet, air-conditioned break!

Taipei’s gems are super walkable—use the MRT for longer hops, and don’t skip bus routes if you’re heading out to Jiufen or Ruifang. Cash is king at local snack stalls! Weather stays balmy, but grab an umbrella for surprise showers. Tip: Bundle museum visits on weekdays for peaceful exploring.

Can’t get enough of this Taiwan vibe!
