Taking part in this activity was fabulous and enriching. The tour takes you in a journey to glance beautiful Taipei spots with also very interesting history. This tour fits anyone who loves to walk around, do a bit of exercise and see the best of the city. I highly recommend to stop by at Hangzhou Xian Long Bao if you have time in the city! It’s amazing!

Democracy Square is also as known as Chian Kai Shan Memorial Hall. I know there’re political controversies, so I am just going to talk about the view there. The view is amazing (look at the photos), isn’t it?! That’s why every tour include this site cause it worth it! Everyone is super friendly here in Taiwan, especially our guide, shout out to our guide!

Never know how delicious beef noodle will be, after this day, I think I am falling in love with it! Apart from food, this tour showed us the highlight of Taipei city. Longshang Temple, the oldest temple, National Palace Museum, lots to learn. Last one, my favourite spot - Xiangshan ! I think it is the best way to see Taipei 101 building, maybe it’s even better than visit 101!

Xiangshan (Elephant Mountain) is really a perfect site to see the entire Taipei City, before I got here, I kind of doubt that if it’s really beautiful as pictures ? Found out it’s really fascinating! And the cultures are new to me, glad to join this private tour, worth it!

The sunset is so beautiful when I was Hiking to Xiangshan in the evening. My cousins get to the top of mountain by themselves. Great!

This private day trip is highly recommended if you only has one day to explore the heart of Taipei City. We were able to see many of the city's highlights like National Palace Museum, Taipei 101, Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, etc.
