With a collection of nearly 700,000 pieces of ancient Chinese artifacts and artworks, the museum showcases 8,000 years of Chinese art history spanning multiple dynasties. Two of the most famous artworks on display are “the Jadeite Cabbage” and “the Meat-Shaped Stone”, which are the must-sees in National Palace Museum.
Dihua Street
After the museum, your tour continues with a visit to Dadaocheng, a nostalgic area where tradition and modernity meets. The retro cafes and stores in the streets and alleys enhance the nostalgic atmosphere, making this place become a popular destination for hipsters. The heart of Dadaocheng is Dihua Street, once the most prosperous place in Taipei more than a hundred years ago. Even now, it is still a popular spot to shop for dried goods and herbal medicines. Every year, the Chinese New Year Street Bazaar takes place in Dihua Street, and is always crowed with people getting ready for the coming new year. Today, the streets and alleys are lined with traditional shops, alongside with chic cafés and mini art galleries housed in the in well-preserved historical buildings, giving off a vintage vibe.

5.00Molly was a great guide! She had a deep knowledge of all the sites we visited and the history of Taipei. She was able to answer all my questions and did so enthusiastically. She even recommended food spots. She also took great photos! The car we used was also very comfortable and the driver, Vince, got us to each spot safely and in great time. 10/10 experience, great for people w limited time in Taipei

5.00I took the Classic Taipei Landmarks Day Tour, and it was a total win for a first-timer like me. It hits all the big Taipei spots, giving you a solid taste of the city’s culture and history. Each stop felt just right—not too rushed, so you can snap pics and soak it all in. Our guide, Kevin, was awesome, dropping cool facts about Taipei’s history and geography that made every spot pop. He also hooked us up with local tips, like where to grab killer street food and how to get around easy. The tour was super smooth, with everything planned out perfectly. No stress, just good vibes and great sights. Totally recommend this for an easy, fun way to see Taipei!
