Step into a world of treasured

Step into a world of treasured Chinese history at the National Palace Museum in Taipei! 🏺🌿 Famous for the iconic “Jadeite Cabbage,” “Meat-shaped Stone,” and “Flower Vase,” this spot lights jaw-dropping craftsmanship and centuries of imperial art. From dynamic family day-outs to solo culture seekers, it’s a must for all ages!

Getting there is a breeze—simply take a bus from Shilin MRT station (follow signs at Exit 1) and enjoy a scenic ride straight to No. 221, Sec 2, Zhi Shan Rd, Shilin District. Arrive early for fewer crowds and clearer views of the “Three Treasures” (they’re often busy with selfie-takers!). Tickets cost NT$36, available till 4:30 PM; plan your visit between 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, Tuesday to Sunday (closed Mondays).

Don’t miss the Grand Hall’s Insta-worthy photo op: capture the palatial steps with lush gardens around for an impressive museum shot. Head to the artifact display rooms for close-ups of the legendary cabbage (the light really pops in afternoon!), and snap the “Meat-shaped Stone” framed against the museum’s elegant backdrops.

Tips: Pace yourself—there’s a LOT to see, but the main treasures are on clear display. Rest spots and a gift shop let you take a breather and pick up keepsakes. No flash photography allowed! Be mindful of quiet zones in gallery rooms. My bonus tip: Pack water and comfy shoes (it’s much bigger inside than it looks!).
