Standing on the bustling plaza, the bell rang every hour in prayer, tolling for peace and safety, as well as for protection from any such natural disaster. Designed to resemble two palms closed together, facing each other in prayer, the bell features 108 nipple-like bits, made from yellow-hued glass; the gentle flowing water form a little fountain at the bottom. The joined hands suggest well-wishing and also toleration; it teaches people to tolerate disaster-induced changes while healing the wounds they inflict. Meanwhile, water streaming quietly downward from the bell symbolizes everlasting human vitality. Gentle as it may be, the sound of bell brings peace of mind. The Bell of Peace and Safety is a joint project by architect Kris Yao and glass artist Heinrich Wang. Measuring at 6 meters in length and 5 meters in width, this cast bronze project was funded entirely by the Dharma Drum Mountain Humanities and Social Improvement Foundation. The bell adds a twist to an urban landscape while constantly reminding people of the importance of humility in the face of trying ordeals. | 2011/11/12 | 2013/04/03 | 臺北旅遊網 | Da'an Dist.,Taipei CitySection 4, Zhongxiao East Road | 2013/04/03 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/pic/11000965.jpg | 20 | Y | By MRT: Zhongxiao Fuxing Station Exit 41.

| 88914636 | 152 | 10 | 景點 | Public Art | 2011111200000008 | Public open space | Peaceful and Content (Ru-Yu-De-Shui) | Located at the intersection of Dunhua N. Road and Nanjing E. Road, “Peaceful and Content” is a marble sculpture that measures at 250 cm in length, 60 cm in width and 180 cm in height. It resembles the shape of a fish enveloped in river- or sea-water and adorned with layers of wave-like stripes, creating an incredible illusion of motion as if it were swimming ahead with ease. Some gaps in the marble create a space where the tangible mixes with the intangible, to offer a thought-provoking metaphor for the relationship between fish and water. Lin Chin-Tsung , who created “Peaceful and Content”, is a Hualien resident with inexhaustible passion for the art of stone carving. He is impressed by how the naturally occurring Hualien marble comes in varying hues with natural bands of colors, and how water erosion gives it widely distinctive shapes ranging from clouds in the sky to adorable animals on land. As a result, he started using marble to create artworks that are one of a kind. His renowned projects include: “A Fish-Shaped Landscape”, which was erected in front of the Hualien County Government building, “Fish” in the Xiao Yehliu National Scenic Area, Taitung, and “Peaceful and Content” at the intersection of Dunhua-Nanjing Roads. | 2011/11/12 | 2014/11/17 | 臺北旅遊網 | Songshan Dist.,Taipei CityDunhua North Rd. | 2014/11/17 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/pic/11000967.jpg | 20 | Y | By MRT: Songshan-Xindian Line-Taipei arena Station By Bus: Take Bus No. 266, 266 (shuttle), 279, 282, 282 (sub-line), 288, 306, 306 (shuttle) or 307(South Songshan Line) and alight at Nanjing-Dunhua Intersection; or take Bus No. 0 East, 262, 262 (shuttle), 275, 275 (sub-line), 275 (shuttle), 277, 285, 33, or 521 and alight at Taipei Student Hostel. | 121.548647 | 25.051838 | Taipei Arena | ||||||

Built with elaborately crafted stones from the suburban Dazhi area, the South Gate features a hornless dragon (chilong) motif that sets it apart from similar structures in the neighborhood. Having survived the Japanese colonialist offensives that ruined much of the city’s protective structures, though, the South Gate, nevertheless, was starting to show signs of age. A Nationalist Government’s attempt to restore its façade in the Northern Chinese palatial style totally changed its looks but, fortunately, preserved both the masonry foundation and round opening in the wall. Located beside the Class-1 historic site of Taiwan Tobacco and Wine Monopoly Bureau at the intersection of Gongyuan Rd., Nanchang St and Aiguo W. Rd., and due to its proximity to the President’s Residence, the area is heavily guarded with “plainclothes” military policemen who can easily intimidate passersby, which is a shame. Next time when you walk by, don’t forget to slow down and appreciate this beautiful gate that once defended Taipei City from harm. | 2012/01/09 | 2015/03/23 | 臺北旅遊網 | Zhongzheng Dist.,Taipei CityRoundabout at the intersection of Aiguo W.

During World War II, the hotel was converted into a reception hall for Japanese Kamikaze pilots before their suicide operations. In the 1960s, after Taiwan was returned to the rule of the nationalist government, General Zhang Xueliang was placed under house arrest along with his wife at the site by then-president Chiang Kai-shek for organizing the Xi’an Incident, in which Zhang emphasized his belief that fighting against the Japanese invasion should be a top priority. The location of the house arrest was renovated in 1984 into a Zen Garden to preserve Beitou’s historic details that prevailed in architecture over the last few centuries, and then converted into what is now the martial-themed Marshal Zen Garden. Due to its relatively higher altitude, the restaurant overlooks the entire Beitou hot-spring zone and Guanyinshan. When the weather permits, patrons can see the landscape against the dazzling backdrop of sunset, and enjoy delicacies from a classic menu made famous by Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, while at the same time, the site boasts an endless supply of white sulphur spring, a local specialty, in private bathrooms; it is an awesome destination for ecological, historical, sightseeing or culinary tours. | 2013/05/15 | 2013/05/15 | 臺北旅遊網 | Beitou Dist.,Taipei CityNo. 34, Yuya Rd. | 2013/05/15 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/image/A0/B0/C0/D23/E513/F148/bd1fc22f-ed0f-4cb5-a0a3-850f9d82e2de.JPG | 20 | Y | 1.From MRT Beitou Station, take Bus No. 230 or S25, and alight at Taiwan Folk Arts Museum(Beitou Museum)2.Shuttle service is available from MRT Beitou Station; call (02) 2893-5336 for reservations | 121.513748 | 25.138573 | Beitou | ||||||
| 88914639 | 155 | 10 | 景點 | Historic Sites | 2012010900000002 | The Koo’s Dadaocheng Residence | Koo’s Salt House was built in 1910 by Koo Hsien-jung, the father of Koo Chen-fu, former chairman of Straits Exchange Foundation. It used to be the Koo’s riverside residence in Dadaocheng and received its name from the salt business that the family was running. Designed to situated face the Tamsui Wharf, the house allowed shipping boats to be moored right in front of it. Two years after the Koos moved out of the house in 1961, the Rongxing Kindergarten was opened on the site. Unique even by today’s standards, this late-Renaissance structure shows signs of Western influence on the luxury estates at the time, such as the arched hallway, the façade that featured the pale yellow tiles, and the gracefully arched windows. Inside the house, the frequent use of Chinese cypress in well preserved ceiling and stairs, along with a wall marked with the logo of Koo Hsien-jung’s Dahe Trading Company. All these designs bear witness to the family's heyday as well as a highlight in the city’s history. | 2012/01/09 | 2012/10/09 | 臺北旅遊網 | Datong Dist.,Taipei CityNo. 9, Lane 303, Guisui St. | 2012/10/09 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/pic/11000895.jpg | 20 | Y | Bus: 9, 206, 255, 274, 641, 669, 704, 1205, 120 - alight at Bao’an St. intersection (350 m) Parking: Dadaocheng Park | 121.508526 | 25.058252 | Shuanglian | |||||||
| 88914640 | 156 | 10 | 景點 | Historic Sites | 2012091400000007 | The Grand Hotel | Established in 1952, the Grand Hotel is a 14-story palatial building towering on the hillside of Yuanshan and surrounded by Keelung River in the front, Mt. Yangmingshan in the back, Songshan to the east and Tamsui to the west. With its signature red columns and golden roof, the hotel’s magnificent exterior presents a sumptuously classic ambiance that reflects the beauty of traditional Chinese arts. The hotel is one of Taipei City’s world-renowned landmarks, and also the premium choice for travel accommodation or business conferences for people worldwide. The beauty of the Grand Hotel comes from its stately Chinese-style structures and splendid classic setting; the mystique of the hotel lies in its legendary, historic significance and the rumor about a secret underground passageway; one can chalk the hotel’s otherworldly serenity to its great location, adjacent to a scenic belt away from the urban bustle.The century-old golden dragons The bronze dragons were initially desgined statues guarding the entrance to Taiwan Jinjia (built in 1901 in the style of a Japanese Shinto shrine). They were carefully preserved during re-constructions of the Grand Hotel, to be later perfectly displayed in the hotel’s Gold Dragon Restaurant; the dragons were accentuated with 24-karat gold plating as part of the hotel’s renovation efforts in 1987. It is worth noting that these dragons have three claws only, compared to the four or five claws on dragons depicted in traditional Chinese paintings. Plum-flower caisson ceiling On the center of the hotel lobby’s ceiling is a plum blossom-shaped caisson, with five golden dragons encircling a pearl, suggesting the “Five Blessings.” Inspired by the Chinese pronunciation of “3” sounding like “rise” and the number 16 plus the large plum blossom, the 23 golden dragons and 16 phoenixes in the caisson were deliberately designed to signify rising to prominence and continuous profits, respectively. The caisson ceiling is also a profound traditional symbol of prosperity, represented by the dragons and phoenixes. Upturned eaves and bucket arch On the rooftop, both the upturned eaves and bucket arch embody ancient Chinese culture. While a row of animals crouch above the vertical ridge of the dramatically upturned eaves, the Chiwei, or monster-like ornaments made from roofing shingles, are poised between the main ridge and vertical ridge. The sumptuously delicate yet robust bucket arch structure under the roof is one of the greatest wonders in Chinese architecture. Glass doors of the hotel lobby The gigantic, yet gracefully symmetrical, floor-to-ceiling glass doors of the lobby serve as the front entrance of The Grand Hotel. Look closely, and you will see six ancient Chinese characters signifying “Long Live the Republic of China”, hidden under the decorative patterns. The creativity of the design and how times have changed are surely impressive, considering the historical background of the hotel. Stone tablet Erected at the beginning of a stone staircase leading to the arched entrance is a giant stone tablet inscribed with the cursive-style characters “Jian-Tan-Sheng-Ji”. After verification from various sources, the words depicted in the free-flowing and powerful calligraphic work of the late politician Yu You-ren, are believed to mean that the Yuanshan area is sanctified, which offers an explanation for the Grand Hotel remaining popular and revered over the past century. | 2012/09/14 | 2013/08/28 | 臺北旅遊網 | Zhongshan Dist.,Taipei CityNo. 1, Sec. 4, Zhongshan N.

| 88914641 | 157 | 10 | 景點 | Museum | 2011121300000041 | Museum of Medical Humanities, NTU | The earliest building of the Museum of Medical Humanities, initially belonging to the medical school of Taihoku Imperial University, was completed in 1907 by Kondo Juro under the Japanese colonial rule. The century-old main structure was unveiled later in 1913 and is largely still preserved today, thanks to frequent restoration efforts. Initially used to house classrooms and an administrative center, the main structure grew into a national hub of medical research, a fortress of medical education reform, a site of medical humanities education and, in 2008, a museum. In addition to permanent exhibits such as “A New Born”, “The Peopling of Taiwan” and “Taiwanese People’s Struggle against Diseases”, the Museum offers special exhibits every six months to explore the impact of medical studies. It also displays exhibit items at medical education institutions nationwide. In the style of the later French Renaissance, the stately museum features graceful curves and carvings in the lobby, on the main wall and columns, with arched designs sumptuously used in the lobby and hallways for extra elegance. Unfortunately, a fire broke out in 1930 and destroyed the Mansard-style, slanted roof with slates, bronze and a little round window on top of it.

| 88914642 | 158 | 10 | 景點 | Mountain Trails | 2012062000000029 | Neishuangxi Nature Park | Located in southeastern Shilin, the 104-hectare Neishuangxi Forest Park is the largest of its kind in Taipei City and known for the abundant ecological resources and forest landforms that gave it the reputation of “Little Xitou of Taipei”. The City’s Geotechnical Engineering Office spent a hefty sum on a renovation effort that added hiking trails, observation decks and industrial roads to the park project, which connects the Neishuangxi mountain areas in Neihu and Shilin Districts. The effort resulted in the integration of Neishuangxi woodlands, the forest park, the Bishan Campsite, the Baishihu Agricultural Community, and many other scenic and ecological resources to set local tourism in motion. At the entrance to the forest park, the Bixi Bridge is flanked by Formosan Tree Frogs carved out of stone to underscore the ecological diversity in “Little Xitou.” From the semicircular view deck built along bridge guardrails, visitors are treated to a visual feast of streams murmuring against a backdrop of peculiarly shaped rocks on Mt. Shitou. On the hiking trail, a 6-meter-tall, spectacular viewing platform made of 100% black sandalwood is propped up by four log columns and overlooks Dalunwei and Yuanshanzi Mountains; it is complete with a plum blossom-shaped public square at the entrance for hikers to catch their breath and take a short break. User-friendly, interactive sessions are also available at the park’s demonstration solar cell-powered system to promote energy conservation. The Neishuangxi Forest Park’s ecological diversity is attributable to the plentiful water resources in Bixi Catchment Area, a location where species native to the ancient Xueshan Mountain Range and the emerging Datun Mountain Range meet and highlighting the scenic beauty of various landforms. That is why the park is able to provide recreation based on a pleasant, relaxed and environmentalist lifestyle. | 2012/06/20 | 2015/03/23 | 臺北旅遊網 | Shilin Dist.,Taipei CityLane 150, Sec. 3, Zhishan Rd. | 2015/03/23 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/image/A0/B0/C0/D0/E197/F517/29e9cfc8-58d2-4242-a740-b2de0780cab3.jpg | 20 | Y | From MRT Jiantan Station, take Mini Bus No. 1 to Xishan Horticultural Nursery, or take Mini Bus No. 18 to Bixi Bridge, and then walk toward Xishan Horticultural Nursery. | 121.577094 | 25.115364 | Jiantan | http://www.shiaushitou.taipei/ct.asp?xItem=1228368&CtNode=36898&mp=10500C | ||||||

Born in Tainan City in 1921, she learned the basics of dancing from Ishii Baku, the Japanese “father of modern dance”, before committing herself to introducing modern dance into Taiwan. She was revered as “ the mother of Taiwanese modern dance” because of her 500-odd productions that cover genres ranging from ballet to folk dances of all ethnicities; the productions she helped inspired include: “The Song of India” and “We Love Our Taiwan”. The historic structure of Tsai Jui-yueh Dance Research Institute was one of the tens of dormitories for Japanese colonial officials built around 1925 on Zhongshan N. Rd. and downtown Taipei; they were mostly wooden, Japanese-style duplexes. In 1953, Tsai purchased this former residence of a Japanese “Haninkan” official, with part of the house designated for choreographic rehearsals. She went on to convert it into a dance studio. In 1999, scholars insisted that Tsai’s dance studio, once destroyed in a fire and coveted by real estate developers, should be restored as a historic site in homage to Taiwanese modern dance. | 2012/01/09 | 2013/04/25 | 臺北旅遊網 | Zhongshan Dist.,Taipei CityNo. 10, Lane 48, Section 2, Zhongshan N.

The refinery was then used by Taiwan Sugar Corporation (Taisugar) for warehousing, with small-and-mid factories such as chemical engineering plants and food processors thriving on the idle sugar-making space. Following the cluster of printing houses formed in the 1950s around the present-day headquarters of China Times, which took over the Taisugar warehouses, the expanded rail transport services sent clothing wholesalers mushrooming in the 1970s and 1980s. Dali Street had been a production center in Taipei until the urban planning authorities shifted their focus to the City’s east end amid the changing industrial pattern. The once prosperous “Huei-xia-vei” neighborhood and industrial landscape at the rear of the refinery were marginalized due to a deteriorating quality of life, a high density of population and buildings, and the lack of public amenities. In a protest against a nursery project, the Dali Street residents were granted a park project to preserve Taiwan’s farthest north-lying sugar-making facility, the main structure of which is a warehouse featuring red-brick masonry, arched gates, trapezoidal columns and a large-span framework. On Sept. 23, 2003, it was proclaimed as the 106th city-designated historic site. | 2011/12/13 | 2015/03/11 | 臺北旅遊網 | Wanhua Dist.,Taipei CityNo.132-10, Dali St. | 2015/03/11 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/image/A0/B0/C0/D32/E858/F470/ae97682a-6fd1-486a-be3d-2624025aea71.jpg | 20 | Y | Opening Hours: Tue.-Sun., 10AM-5PM; for guided group tours, please contact Ms. Jiang at (02) 2720-8889 Ext. 3523, in advance for arrangement. | 121.496271 | 25.03378 | 886-2-2302-2335 | http://www.thcp.org.tw/ | ||||||

During the time of the Japanese Colonial Period to 1988, the site was used as a military ammunition depot. Later, it became the land designated for a park. The entire valley maintains almost the same ecological landscape that existed more than a hundred years ago. There are abundant plants in the park, with insects calling and birds singing, where natural resources such as low-elevation forests and streams are also preserved. The rare ecological park in the City is divided into several areas: Natural Succession Area, Butterfly Watching Area, Formosan Giant Flying Squirrel Observation Area and Taipei Tree Frog Observation Area. Other than tree frogs, butterflies and Formosan Giant Flying Squirrels, the Park has a total of 5000 trees covering 331 plant species, such as: Incense machilus (Machilus zuihensis), Formosa acacia (Acacia confusa), Turn In The Wind (Mallotus paniculatus), Elephant’s Ear (Macaranga tanarius), etc. In the surroundings, there are houses of the military dependents’ village, preserved forts, culverts and vicissitudinous stone steps. Marks of painstaking efforts made by the military officers are clearly evident. Standing among these old structures would give visitors an odd feeling of having a soulfuls communication with the older generation. | 2013/05/15 | 2013/05/15 | 臺北旅遊網 | Da'an Dist.,Taipei CityLane 272, Wolong St. | 2013/05/15 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/image/A0/B0/C0/D0/E197/F663/e04b946e-ac50-49d3-9528-8736fa0fb46e.png | 20 | Y | Bus:1.

The first floor of the structure was built using heavy piling of stone materials laid to form an elegant arcade of four columns and three spaces, where the arches are composed of trapezoid Qili’an rocks. Patterns pieced together by wood can be found in the arcade ceiling. The second floor and roof trusses are all made of wood, covered with pieces of asbestos tiles on the mansard roof.

It is well-preserved and still in use. This trail is not only a shortcut to Shanzhuku and Tukuqiu, but it also leads to some ancient relics. Today, the trail is paved with granite, and despite its renovation, it still has a touch of archaic ambiance.Starting point of Gengliao Historic TrailThe ancient “Pan’s Family House” is the only house in Nangang that still possesses bullet holes from war, and is still inhabited. Eight generations of the Pan family have lived here, meaning that the house is at least 160 years old, as old as the trail!On the way to Laoliao Historic Trail, the Shihui Mine Tunnel is a remnant of our forefathers’ exploration. The remnant of Wei Jingshi Residence recalls the origin of the once prosperous tea industry here, despite the current sadness reflected by its remaining walls. Other places such as Tujiao House, Zheng’s family graveyard and the mere 30cm tall Land Deity Temple are all evidence of the ancient history of this trail.Rediscovering the Home of TeaThe history of tea development can be traced back two hundred years. During the rule of Emperor Qianlong, this place was an important production center of camphor and tea. Wang Shuijing and Wei Jingshi researched and developed the Wenshan-style Paochong tea and Nangang-style Paochong tea, respectively. Together, they ushered in the golden era of Nangang tea, and its fame spread far and wide.Laoliao Historic Trail was a tea road that tea merchants and villagers took 110 years ago.The name “Laoliao” was derived later based on the homonymy of the sounds. Gengliao Historic Rail, on the other hand, was used by night watchers (gengfu) in the Qing Dynasty on patrol, and during the Japanese occupation era, the trail served as a transport channel for tea between Shengkeng and Nangang. | 2011/11/13 | 2015/03/23 | 臺北旅遊網 | Nangang Dist.,Taipei CitySection 2, Jiuzhuang St. | 2015/03/23 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/pic/11002067.jpg | 20 | Y | MRT Station: Alight at Kunyang Station and take Bus S5 to Jiuzhuang Second Stop.By Bus: 212, 276, 306, 645.

The park is divided into a Core Zone, a Buffer Zone and a Sustainable Utilization Zone, according to the type of ecological resources, in an effort to preserve and protect the natural environment with the fauna/flora habitats intact. Inaccessible to the general public, the Core Zone is a major wetland restoration site largely dedicated to the restoration and maintenance of bird habitats. The educationally-functional Buffer Zone separates the Sustainable Utilization Zone and Core Zone with hedgerows or blockade ditches; it consists of freshwater ponds, tidal ponds, aquatic plants and marsh plants, each representing a distinctive eco-system. Growing among the artificially planned and cultivated park turfs are many herbaceous and woody plants that insects feed on, while the sizeable population of invertebrates on mudflats and shoals offer perfect food for Scolopacidae and Charadriidae. Primarily designed for family recreation and bird watchers, the Sustainable Utilization Zone is installed with a duck-watching trail, a bird observatory square and a family-friendly zone, where people can enjoy outdoor activities with relatively little environmental impact. To further promote ecological education, large-scale duck- and goose-watching events are hosted in the park during the migratory-bird season, with guided tours available on weekends/holidays. The Huajiang Wild Duck Nature Park, which lies beyond the embankment, and Huazhong Riverside Park, are perfect for wild bird watching; their comprehensive facilities ensure easy observation of the fascinating eco-systems. | 2013/07/29 | 2013/08/08 | 臺北旅遊網 | Wanhua Dist.,Taipei CityLocated west of Huajiang Bridge | 2013/08/08 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/image/A0/B0/C0/D23/E594/F813/93dd4412-eec7-4e7b-b13d-fe3133d07f79.jpg | 20 | Y | 121.493488 | 25.038135 | Longshan Temple | |||||||

The Chen family’s ancestors came from Anxi County, Quanzhoufu of Fujian Province. During the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty, the early Chen members traveled to Taiwan as pioneers. It wasn’t until the early Guangxu era that they invested a huge sum of money to construct the Yifang Historic Residence. This traditional sanheyuan (a three-section compound) was typical of the ancient residences of the Taipei basin area. The main hall was constructed in a U-shape design; the walls of the main hall and ancillary halls (to the left and right of the main hall) were built with bricks, and few windows and doors were present. In addition, a firearms cabinet was built on the second floor of the ancillary halls to guard the residence against robbers. Furthermore, most of the window frames were made with rocks produced in Taipei. The door plate of the residence indicated that it was constructed around the 2nd year of Emperor Guangxu. Due to the rapid modernization of Taipei City, traditional residences like Yifang Historic Residence continue to dwindle in number. It is important that those that remain are preserved as testimony of Taipei’s development history. | 2012/01/09 | 2012/01/09 | 臺北旅遊網 | Da'an Dist.,Taipei CityNo. 128, Lane 155, Sec. 3, Keelung Rd. | 2012/01/09 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/image/A0/B0/C0/D3/E772/F281/aef97aac-9aa0-43f9-b13d-f499f370c90f.jpg | 20 | Y | Bus: Green 11, 295 – alight at Fanlan Rd.

Qingtiangang was designated by Japanese colonial rulers as the site of the Dalingzhi Ranch for tea-growing and cattle-herding purposes. After taking over Taiwan, the Chinese nationalist government established the Yangmingshan Ranch in the Qingtiangang /Lengshuikeng area, following the original Japanese tradition. Once Taipei City was placed under the administration of the Executive Yuan, the Taipei City Farmers’ Association became responsible for the ranch operations, with the cattle herds on Qingtiangang being owned by farmers in Beitou, Shilin and Jinshan.

Rd., Sanshui St. and Xiyuan Rd. Developed by the Taipei City Government, it is a distinctively art-themed “folklore park” teeming with culturally significant details. For example, a dragon-inspired sculpture in the Park’s east side is inspired by a Chinese Feng Shui rule for good luck, being an azure dragon appearing on the left-hand side when facing south, while a boat sculpture in the west side recount a bit of history of the early settlers in the neighborhood who used canoes as a common means of transportation, ferrying and trade. Adjacent to a pond named “Beauty’s Mirror” is a viewing platform defined by Feng Shui principles in accordance with the position of the Big Dipper constellation, where illuminated “dancing water” shows are staged on a daily basis. After sunset, the Temple Gateway Square, an extension of the Longshan Temple into the Park’s north side, sees over 2,000 stars simultaneously radiating lights of varying colors from an astrological chart that consists of both Chinese and Western zodiac signs. Meanwhile, the roof tile-like structure of reinforced glass and vitreous enamel panels transforms the Park’s inverted U-shaped art gallery into a passageway with recreation and exhibition facilities. As an important public project in the City Government’s campaign of “Rotating the Axis of Urban Development and Regenerating Taipei West”, Bangka Park, along with its neighboring Longshan Temple, will hopefully blossom into a vibrant international tourist hotspot of historical, cultural and religious importance that buttresses western Taipei’s growth and business potential, and ultimately regains the glory of this two-century-old neighborhood. | 2013/05/15 | 2014/09/02 | 臺北旅遊網 | Wanhua Dist.,Taipei CityOpposite Longshan Temple | 2014/09/02 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/image/A0/B0/C0/D0/E197/F488/0ab94a3f-25ab-4104-bda7-96bca1f036c2.JPG | 20 | Y | MRTTake MRT Bannan Line and alight at Longshan Temple StationTrainAlight at Wanhua Railway Station and walk northward for 8 minutes.Busa.

They were intended for professors’ dormitories, and nestled in a kind of lushness that was unique to academia. After relocating from mainland China in 1949, Dr. Yin Hai-Kwong taught philosophy at Taihoku Imperial University while contributing articles of political criticism to the Free China Journal. As a man who would rather die a critic than live muted, Dr. Yin was a warrior fighting with a pen despite the rigorous censorship. He stood up bravely against the then-authoritarian regime with unbridled political criticism, exerting a strong influence on Taiwan’s progress toward democracy, as an iconic figure in the history of Chinese liberalism. The residence is a one-story, Japanese-style wooden structure built on a triangular base, adjacent to the other dormitories. In May 2003, the Taipei City Government designated it as a historic site that housed a significant collection of cultural assets. The Dr. Yin Hai-Kwong Foundation in November 2008 took over the operation and maintenance of the residence, recently serving as a facility for NTU’s outdoor education activities. | 2012/06/20 | 2015/03/23 | 臺北旅遊網 | Da'an Dist.,Taipei CityNo. 1-1, Alley 16, Lane 18, Wenzhou St. | 2015/03/23 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/image/A0/B0/C1/D215/E775/F698/6093e731-663c-4f0b-9bf3-8edabee4041a.jpg | 20 | Y | 1.

Mayor Hao friendliness and tolerance have always been Taipei City’s most valuable cultural assets, and the respect for different cultures, opinions and political ideologies not only lends a touch of gentleness and diversity to the City’s overall ambiance, it also constitutes a critical part of the philosophy underlying life in Taipei. This explains why Liberty Lane and Nylon Cheng Memorial Museum are significant in terms of tourism and culture, and also why they are a critical asset in Taiwan’s democratic education for the younger generation. Nylon Cheng Memorial Museum in Liberty Lane was built on the former office site of the now-discontinued Freedom Era Weekly. The entrance is decorated with a bronze statue and a huge portrait of Cheng. In the solemn space inside the building, there is a memorabilia display which contains Cheng’s personal items, manuscripts, memorabilia and photographs of his activism in democratic movements and old publications of Freedom Era Weekly. Currently receiving visitors on a reservation basis, the museum provides insights into the sacrifice and contributions made by this Taiwanese martyr of democracy and free speech through documentaries and guided tours. Visitors are expected to develop newfound respect for this martyred hero of democracy, and understand why the City government is making every effort to uphold free speech as a hard-earned, prized asset. | 2013/05/15 | 2013/05/15 | 臺北旅遊網 | Songshan Dist.,Taipei CityAlley 3, Lane 106, Sec. 3, Minquan E.
