What travelers are saying
- TJeinsteinwoodDeal, UK410 contributionsA great place to visit to get some photos of Taipei 101 building even if you don't go up. We decided against it as, by local prices, it's expensive at NT$600 per person (compared to for example NT$100 for the zoo).
The food court is great! Lots of different foods to see and try. Most places have an English translated menu too.
The shopping area is full of very expensive brands so interesting to see.Written April 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We rode the buses to get there which was fun navigating.Written March 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- OZS_ATWBudapest, Hungary3,322 contributionsThe weather was pretty bad, so we just popped in to the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall our our way from Taipei 101 to Longshan Temple.
It was a very big area, much bigger than I expected!Written April 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s a welcome break from the shopping and eating that comes with vacating. You get to burn off some of the accumulated calories while seeing a different view of the city!Written March 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BP R1 contributionDid a spectacular tour with Island Life Taiwan throughout Taroko Gorge. It is breathtaking! We never would have seen half of what we saw doing it ourselves, as there are traffic/construction stops that need to be timed perfectly. We enjoyed fantastic authentic food, and the sites in the Gorge are so amazing that pictures don’t do it justice. A perfect day!Written March 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TJeinsteinwoodDeal, UK410 contributionsIt must get really busy here - but it was lovely and quiet when we went. Get the metro to Taipei zoo and walk about 5-10 mins to the gondola station.
There are tickets machines outside and inside the building. It costs NT$120 per adult for a 1 way journey (approx £3). Like everything in Taiwan it's very clean and ordered.
There are clear bottom cable cars and normal ones - there are queue lines are marked for either. We got straight into a cable cat and had it to ourselves. It's a 30 journey each way. The cable car is really quiet and smooth.
There's not much to see at the top as it's not at the top of the mountain but it's still worth going up for the views.
You can get the bus back down- much cheaper at NT$15 per person but we went down by cable car as there was quite a long wait - each bus stop has time tables in English.
If you are planning on going to the zoo afterwards, get off at the zoo south station (not the last terminal station) as you can buy a zoo ticket and then walk down the hill rather than up again!
It's great!Written April 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - TJeinsteinwoodDeal, UK410 contributionsIt's an absolutely beautiful building and so worth a visit.
Come on MRT blue line and exit to Longshan - you won't miss the temple!
It's stunning to see - lots of people attending to pray and visitors taking photos. Offerings are being made, along with a big queue of people buying offerings.
It's so worth a trip.Written March 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A bit crowded, try to avoid saturday evenings. An interesting Temple worth visiting too.Written January 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- YonahSeattle, WA30 contributionsIt certainly is a beautiful lake, but there’s not much to do besides appreciate it. Better for relaxing than adventure.Written December 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TJeinsteinwoodDeal, UK410 contributionsWhat a brilliant zoo! Take the brown line metro to the zoo - it's really close to the metro station.
It only costs NT$100 per adult (approx £2.50) which is incredible! You can go into the visitor centre and get English maps but all the zoo signs are in dual languages.
You can easily while away a whole day here. The panda house is closed to entry on the first Monday of the month - worth knowing if that is what you really want to see.
There are lots of animals we wouldn't see in UK zoos- koala, giant pandas, pangolin , capybara, anteaters... as well as the usual African animals including hippos.
The pangolin dome is brilliant as is the bird world dome.
If you decide to do the cable car first, get off at the zoo station south stop as you can buy a ticket and then walk down the hill to see everything rather than go to the bottom of the hill (to the main station stop) and wall back up again!
Go in for a coffee when you leave the pangolin dome - it's amazing!!
A really great zoo and well worth a visitWritten April 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - luxuryvoyageSwitzerland3,351 contributionsAn impressive winding gorge with many worthwhile sightseeing stops. You can visit the gorge on a day tour (for example from Taipei). However, it is much nicer to combine the tour with an overnight stay at Silks Place at the end of the gorge. There is a bus that stops at all the tourist hotspots (hop on hop off), but you lose a lot of time. We traveled with our own rental car and found this to be the best option. The only disadvantage is that it was sometimes difficult to find a parking space at the sights. Alternatively, I would recommend a private tour with a driver, then you don't have to look for a parking space. The front part of the gorge (at the entrance to the gorge) is rather boring, the interesting sights are at the back. If you are only here on a day trip, you should drive to the end of the gorge first and start your sightseeing tour from there. You will need more time than you think to see the entire gorge. The Taroko Gorge was one of the highlights of our trip to Taiwan.Written January 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tabby187 contributionsThis park was included in our packaged tour with an entrance fee of 120 NTD. It has magnificent coastal views and several iconic rock formations such as the Queen's head, cute princess, and fairy slipper. There is an area of food stalls selling some treats (some offering free samples) and a few nearby seafood restaurants.
It was a bit crowded during our weekday visit, and it is quite worrying that some of the rock formations are being touched by the tourists. Maybe the park should not allow guests to touch the rocks as it might hasten its erosion?Written March 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
