This time I came to Taipei to

This time I came to Taipei to play, focusing on a "city exploration + modernity" route! The itinerary focused on Nangang and Xinyi, the weather was cloudy but still could not resist my enthusiasm to find fun attractions and take pictures of food. The itinerary highlights include music, modern architecture and landmark 101, easily take the MRT to go all over, definitely suitable for you who like to feel the rhythm of the city, and not afraid of light rain.

🌆Itinerary Recommendation: Taipei Nangang & Xinyi Modern Attractions Day Inventory

1️⃣ Taipei Pop Music Center
📍Address: No. 99, Section 8, Citizen Avenue, Nangang District, Taipei
⏰ Opening hours: 08:00-18:30 year-round
💸 Tickets: NT$81
Only two steps away from the Cultural Center, the main building is super avant-garde, if you like to feel the new generation music atmosphere in Taiwan, there are small live performances on weekends you can pay attention. There are many snack trucks and hipster drink shops nearby, so you can enjoy coffee while looking at the art buildings.

2️⃣ Taipei 101
📍Address: 89th Floor, No. 7, Section 5, Xinyi Road, Taipei
⏰ Opening hours: 10:00-21:00 year-round
Taipei landmark! It is recommended to go to the observation deck at dusk (rain actually instead of a variety of cloud layers), overlooking the entire city; the mall downstairs has a lot of fine goods and souvenirs to choose from, and a hidden restaurant recommendation—Ding Tai Fung Xiao Cang Bao (queue but worth it). If the weather is bad, indoor shopping is suitable for taking pictures.

🚆 Transportation Tips:
- Southport Station is an important hub, a 5 minute walk to the Music Center. The MRT Songshan New Store Line connects the city and Xinyi, so you don't have to worry about the route. There are clearly signs when you get off at Nangang Station, which is 2.8 km and 4.7 km away from Songshan and Xike stations respectively.
- There is direct MRT near Taipei 101, Xinyi District is well-connected and easy to move even on cloudy and rainy days.

🍔 Food Recommendations:
- Hipster snack shop near the music center, recommending hojicha latte and cheese hot dogs.
- There are many restaurants (Ding Tai Fung, Chun Shui Tong, Rakuten Dynasty, etc.) in the shopping mall downstairs 101.

🌂 Tips:
- Cloudy and rainy days are common in Taipei, remember to bring an umbrella or wear a raincoat, the trip is not disturbed but kind of cinematic.
- Some scenic spots (especially the music hall) are closed on Mondays.
- 101 recommend booking tickets online early to save the queue.
- Best time to take photos at the music center: 4pm, with architectural lines and natural light and shadow at its best.

Taipei has always been a place that blends old and new, full of urban rhythm, even on rainy days is very flavorful ~ This time the main music + architectural lines, photography check-in and can listen to music and see the exhibition, you come and try what is called city inspiration
