🏛️ Chiang Kai‑shek Memorial Hall｜Classic blue and white architecture, a historical landmark of Taipei City Located in the heart of Taipei, the Chiang Kai‑shek Memorial Hall is a major cultural landmark built to commemorate the former President of the Republic of China, Chiang Kai‑shek. The vast grounds and solemn architecture, dominated by blue and white colours symbolising liberty and purity, feature traditional Chinese flying eaves and an octagonal roof, creating a visually striking structure that is one of Taipei's most iconic historical buildings. Visitors can ascend the grand marble staircase to view the statue of Chiang Kai‑shek in the main hall, and at the top of every hour, witness the solemn and dignified guard changing ceremony. The site also features the National Theatre and Concert Hall on either side, while the square often hosts locals practising dance, picnicking, and admiring flowers, making it a leisure space blending history, culture, and daily life.

🏙️ Taipei 101｜World‑renowned landmark, enjoy a bird's‑eye view of Taipei's charm from above Taipei 101, once the world's tallest skyscraper, is a symbol of Taiwan's modernity and innovative spirit. This 508‑metre‑tall tower integrates Eastern pagoda imagery with Western architectural technology, making it not only an architectural marvel but also a must‑visit landmark for tourists. Taking the world's fastest elevator to the 89th‑floor observation deck takes only about 37 seconds, offering a panoramic view of the entire Taipei Basin. By day, one can see Yangmingshan and the Tamsui River in the distance; at night, the city lights create a brilliant urban vista. For shoppers, Taipei 101 Mall offers an array of international luxury brands, gourmet dining, and art exhibition spaces. Each New Year's Eve, the Taipei 101 fireworks display captures global attention, becoming an iconic annual image of Taipei.

🏮 Dadaocheng｜A slow journey through the old town with a century of splendour Stepping into Dadaocheng is like entering a time tunnel, where red‑brick western‑style buildings, ancient streets and alleys, and the aroma of tea and herbs interweave to create Taipei's most charming nostalgic scenery. Once the busiest port and commercial centre in northern Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty, it has now transformed into a representative district for cultural creativity and the revitalisation of old houses, beloved by locals and visitors alike. Strolling along Dihua Street, you will find traditional Chinese medicine shops, dried goods stores, fabric shops, and cafés lining both sides. Take a moment to stop and enjoy a bowl of traditional taro balls or step inside a historically converted building to view an exhibition space. At dusk, head to the Dadaocheng Wharf to enjoy the sunset scenery; the summer fireworks festival and the Lunar New Year market are especially lively and unforgettable.
