The temple also became a place of learning with the establishment of the Shuren Academy. Planned by a local official named Chen Wei-ying, the academy elevated the cultural and educational standing of the area and fostered many persons of talent over the years. The temple continued to serve an educational role through the Japanese occupation period. Scholarships for public schools were awarded at the temple during annual ceremonies to encourage academic achievement. A separate Shuren Academy was later built at Wenchang Temple on Dihua Street Section 2 in Taipei City. During the school examination period, students flock to the temple to make offerings of foods with symbolic meaning, such as tangerines (good luck), scallions (intelligence and skill), kumquats (examination success), turnips (good fortune), and sweet osmanthus leaves (assistance from persons of noble standing). Wenchang Temple also occupies an important place in the history of Dalongdong as the origin of the local public school system and a memorial to the educational spirit of the early residents of this area. | 2011/05/18 | 2011/05/18 | 臺北旅遊網 | Datong Dist.,Taipei City | 2011/05/18 | Wenchang Temple_3 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/pic/11000929.jpg | 20 | Y | 121.512064 | 25.073000 | Yuanshan | 886-2-2599-2878 | |||||

The temple rises four floors and is built in a traditional Chinese palace-style with white outer railings and vermilion pillars adding to its stately appearance.

Later a water source was found behind the temple purportedly with divine guidance, earning the temple site designation as sacred ground. The spring flows with clear sweet water that is well suited for making tea.Adherents of I-Kuan Tao worship both eastern and western gods and this eclectic spirit is also reflected in the temple. In addition to the statue of the movement founder, visitors will see the Maitreya Buddha, smiling gaily without worries in the main hall, with Guanyin (Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva) and the Taoist deity Guan Gong (Guan Sheng Di Jun) on the two sides.

The keel-inspired bridge stretches from the Dragon Boat Rock in the east to Yuanjue Waterfall in the west, connecting four mountains (Baishihu, Daluntou, Zhongyong and Liyu) along the way as if it were a gigantic dragon watching over the scenic Baishihu. The Baishihu Suspension Bridge features a straight abutment, rather than the towering ones commonly found at similar bridges, which gives it a cable-less and “invisible” style that blends perfectly with the idyllic surroundings. The Baishihu Community on the other side of the bridge boasts a 100-meter Chunqiu Footpath that greets visitors with an ingeniously and professionally engineered horticultural area, besides the unique scenic and ecological resources of farms that produce organic vegetables and strawberries. Areas around the suspension bridge, including the temple yards, orchards, forest footpath and the lake-strewn wetland, provide terrific places to enjoy blooming flowers and chirping birds.

| 88914595 | 111 | 10 | 景點 | Temple | 2011051800000317 | 06:00~18:00 | Jiantan Temple | According to one legend, the name Jiantan ("Sword Lake") traces back to a time when the Ming loyalist Cheng Cheng-kung. The lake referred to was said to be inhabited by a malevolent water sprite who stirred up waves that killed countless people over the years. One day, while passing by the lake with his troops, Cheng hurled a jeweled sword at the water sprite, killing the beast and calming the waters. Historic records of the Tamsui Prefectural Government indicate that Jiantan Temple was built in Jiantan in 1773 with funds donated by Wu Ting-kao and other patrons. The records also note that a plaque at the temple recounts a story, in which the Monk Wanhua came across a snake blocking the road while traveling through the area. The monk divined this to be an auspicious incident, and therefore ordered a temple to be built on the spot. He later had a dream instructing him the eight ships from Shanghai would pass by Keelung, providing funds to build the temple. The temple was constructed on the designated spot, but was moved during the later part of the Japanese occupation period to its current location. At the front of the temple stands a monumental arch with a green-tile roof, below which is an inscription of the temple's name. The narrow lane inside is the original site of the temple, and in the wooded garden here one can still see the original age-worn temple columns and stela. | 2011/05/18 | 2012/10/09 | 臺北旅遊網 | Zhongshan Dist.,Taipei City | 2012/10/09 | Jiantan Temple_3 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/pic/11000941.jpg | 20 | Y | 121.555320 | 25.086228 | Jiannan Rd. | 886-2-2532-3834、886-2-2532-3362 | |||||

The premises were one of Taiwan’s pioneers of modern industry, as well as the first professional tobacco plant. A gracefully simple Japanese modernist structure, the factory features meticulously crafted face cams, glasswork and bronze nails that made it arguably a “model factory” at that time. When Japan lost the war in 1945, the Taiwan Provincial Monopoly Bureau took over the factory and renamed it, Songshan Tobacco Factory of Taiwan Provincial Monopoly Bureau. The factory ceased production of cigarettes in 1998 for concerns over urban planning, regulatory changes in the tobacco and liquor marketing system, as well as shrinking demand. It became a relic of the past after being merged into the Taipei Cigarette Plant. In 2001, the Taipei City Government named the tobacco factory the city’s 99th historic site and converted it into a park comprising city-designated historic sites (namely the office building, the 1st to 5th warehouses, cigarette plant and boiler room), historic structures (the inspection room, a machinery repair shed and a nursing room) and architectural highlights (the Baroque-style garden, an ecologically landscaped pond, a public bath and a multi-purpose auditorium). For more efficient reuse of space, the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park was built on the historic site as a production base for designers and cultural & creative businesses, as well as a venue for performances and exhibitions.

These somewhat crowded buildings chronicled the tears and joy of veterans who migrated to Taiwan in the early days. This is the former site of Taipei City’s Military Dependents’ Village, called the “Sisinan Village”. With the increasingly fast economic growth and the rising living standard, these old houses no longer serve the needs of the residents. The City Government initially planned to rebuild them in 1999. However, through persuasion from the cultural circles, the City Government designated this premise as the Cultural Hall and Cultural Park of Xinyi District, and started operation in 2003. The Hall consists of four symmetrical buildings. The houses that sat tightly next to each other have been converted into an open space for events and exhibitions. The premise now consists of an exhibition hall, Military Dependents’ Village Exhibition Hall, performance hall and community hall. The exterior still retains the unique low-rise and the simple, rustic style of the Military Dependents’ Village. The narrow alleys and footpaths will take the visitors down memory lane. It is a fascinating contrast to the neighboring towering Taipei 101 and surrounding modern buildings, a compelling testimony of Taipei’s urban development. | 2011/11/12 | 2015/03/23 | 臺北旅遊網 | Xinyi Dist.,Taipei CityNo.50, Songqin Street | 2015/03/23 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/pic/11000798.jpg | 20 | Y | 1.By Bus: Take Bus No. 202 (sub-line), 207, 647, 650, or Xinyi Main Line, and alight at Xinyi District Administrative Center Stop; or take Bus No. 1, 22, 33, 37, 38, 226, 265, 266, 288, or Blue 5, and get off at Jinxin Village Stop; or take Bus No. 20, 22, 33, 37, 38, 226, 292, or Xinyi Main Line, and alight at Xinyi-Guangfu Intersection Stop. | 121.56197 | 25.03131 | Taipei 101/World Trade Center | 886-2-2723-9777#855 | |||||

Nestled by the Shilin Bridge, Kuo’s century-old family business was successfully revamped as a “historic pastry brand” by the 4 generations of owners. To preserve the prestigious brand’s historic assets accumulated over 100 years, Mr. Kuo founded Taiwan’s first pastry museum, offering further insight into how the Taiwanese pastry and ceremonial customs have evolved over the span of time. One year after the Yangmei museum was launched in 2001, Kuo Yuan Ye converted the 4th and 5th floors of its Shilin headquarters into “Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake & Pastry”. Not only are the history of Taiwanese pastry and ceremonial traditions shown in an exhibit area, but the museum also offers hands-on baking experiences at the Joy Bakery and family-friendly events both in-and out-doors, in the hope that people of all ages will love and appreciate the art of Taiwanese pastry. | 2012/03/14 | 2012/03/14 | 臺北旅遊網 | Shilin Dist.,Taipei City4 & 5F, No. 546, Wenlin Rd. | 2012/03/14 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/image/A0/B0/C0/D27/E966/F434/78ad76ec-16f1-414c-a6f5-ef96e7be495a.jpg | 20 | Y | MRT: Get off at Shilin Station and follow the road under the elevated bridge or take the overpass at Wenlin-Zhongzheng intersection in the direction of Shilin Bridge for approx. 200 m.1.

In 1967, Mr. Ch’ien built this house in Waishuangxi and named it after the Wuxi (China) family estate where his mother lived. At the Ch’ien Mu House, every detail of the garden, such as the footpath lined with maple trees and rows of bamboo, is a result of years of tireless horticultural efforts by Mrs. Ch’ien. Mr. Ch’ien was constantly giving lectures in Taiwan and has attracted a loyal group of followers, including college professors, who have visited the Sushu Building for 20 consecutive years along with their students on outings. An empowering and charismatic speaker, Mr. Ch’ien impressed his ever-packed audience with the amazing nuances of Chinese culture. A few months after moving out of his 22-year residence at age 96, Mr. Ch’ien died; the Sushu Building was left untended for years until it was reopened on Jan. 6, 1992 by the Taipei Public Library as a memorial hall. It was then renovated by the city government in 2001. Taipei City’s Department of Cultural Affairs renamed Sushu Building on Dec. 31, 2001 as “The Ch’ien Mu House” and handed it over to Soochow University for management.

Entering from Xiangshan Trail near Lingyun Temple, the path is paved with stones, marked with indicators and surrounded by Taiwan acacia (Acacia confuse). Along the path are numerous shelters and seats donated by Zaojuehui (Morning Exercise Club) that provide resting locations for mountain hikers. The trial is connected to Xiangshan, Hushan and Lishanqiaokou. Nangang MountainDaying PavilionNangang Mountain is located at the intersecting ridge of Xinyi District and Nangang District, and is the highest peak among the Nangang Mountains. On its peak are a glistering lamp and an equilateral triangle No. 695. The 196 m tall Nangang Mountain spans from Changshou Park to Muzhi Mountain, and provides great paths and trails for those who like to hike. At the peak, you’ll see four smaller mountains shaped like an elephant, a lion, a leopard and a tiger to the northwest, thus the name Sishou (“Four Beasts”) Mountains. An endless stream of mountains rises and falls to the east and south. There is a television broadcast antenna at the highest point of Nangang Mountain, with nearby ridges having sharp differences in altitude. One of the peaks is known as the “95 Peak”, so named after General Yang Sen, who conquered this peak at the ripe age of 95.A serene, peaceful trailXiangshan (Mt. Elephant) and Hushan (Mt. Tiger) belong to the same mountain series, but their sceneries are not as diverse as here. The later section of the trail is more tranquil with richer forest ecology than the Hushan Trail.

Northeastern monsoons and the attendant gales, rainfall and low temperatures coming from the saddle of Datun Mountain helped to create a warm-temperate broadleaf forest along the trail on the windward hillside. The shady and humid valley on the leeward side, nevertheless, encourages the growth of tropical broadleaf trees and such tropical phenomena as the buttress roots, cauliflory, and Strangling plants. Although the trail is located only at 300 meters above sea level, it boasts a rarely-seen, compact ecosystem that simultaneously comprises broadleaf forests of tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate biomes. ◎Warning for hikers: When you reach a fork in the path leading downward toward Cuifeng Waterfall, do NOT feed the monkeys that frequently show up in groups because they may hurt you while fighting for food! | 2011/11/13 | 2015/03/23 | 臺北旅遊網 | Shilin Dist.,Taipei CityLane 12, Aifu 3rd Street | 2015/03/23 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/pic/10002980.jpg | 20 | Y | By MRT: Get off at MRT Shipai Station and change to Bus Red 15, Red 19 or No. 224, alight at Tianmu Stop1.

Their altitudes are 325, 223 and 290 meters, respectively. Zhongyong Mountain is the largest ridge of Wuzhi Mountain, and is a typical pointed-shape mountain. Liyu Mountain is high at one end and low on the end, making it shaped like a carp. Yuanjuejian Mountain is smaller, and derives its name from the Yuanjue Temple at its hillside. Zhongyong Mountain & Liyu Mountain Trail The Zhongyong Mountain and Liyu Mountain Trail begin at the Dahu Villa Stop in Neihu. Along the trail are several famous temples. There is also the elegant Yuanjue Waterfall. At a high altitude, you will have an unobstructed and magnificent view of Taipei City. The trail is accompanied by the serene flow of Dagou Creek, and the wood-made path serves as a complement to the river and forest. As one traverses further down the trail, the forest becomes denser; flowers and the singing of colorful birds create an aura of excitement. At the end of the trail is Jinlong Temple, and with the “escort” of the Eighteen Arhats, this wonderful journey will soon end. Zhongyong Mountain There is a bronze statue of Chiang Kai-shek at the peak of the mountain. Starting from Jinlong Temple, the trail is rocky and steep, similar to a Hero Slope. The journey will require more stamina and is more challenging. Liyu Mountain Liyu Mountain is located at the south-eastern side of Zhongyong Mountain and the two mountains are connected. Its name is derived from its head-high and tail-low shape, which resembles a carp. Some people also called it the Xiaokengjian Mountain. Viewed from the sides of the mountain, one can see the steep cliffs and dense forest gradually extending toward the bottom, which is a marvelous sight indeed that promises to lift your spirit right away. | 2011/10/27 | 2015/03/23 | 臺北旅遊網 | Neihu Dist.,Taipei CityLane 131, Dahu St. | 2015/03/23 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/pic/11002061.jpg | 20 | Y | 1.

After losing an ethnic clash (i.e., Ding-Xia-Jiao-Ping) in 1853, immigrants from Fujian’s Tongan region were forced out of Bangka by the Sanyi immigrants, also from Fujian, to settle in Dadaocheng. As the trade input between China and the West reached a record high, Dadaocheng replaced the inaccessible Bangka as a major port and prosperous business district. Stores selling goods from China mushroomed along Dihua Street, which is situated behind the riverfront-facing Guide Street. Overnight, wealth prompted the Dihua Street-based businessmen to erect opulent houses with arcades adapted to the rainy climate. In addition to the intriguing eclectic facades that are decorated in Western style, these old storefront houses are best known for being extremely narrow and deep. Behind each storefront is a factory or a warehouse, lending an air of distinction to this cluster of old-fashioned housing complex. | 2012/01/09 | 2014/09/02 | 臺北旅遊網 | Datong Dist.,Taipei CitySection 1, Dihua St. | 2014/09/02 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/pic/11000910.jpg | 20 | Y | MRT: Approx. 10 min walk from Shuanglian Station Bus: 39, 272 - alight at Dadaocheng Stop (approx. 3 min walk); 9, 206, 255, 274, 302, 304 - alight at Nanjing W.

The neighborhood was notorious for ITS outdated amenities and a substandard lifestyle that left the city unsightly. In an urban renewal program for Wanhua District, Taipei City Government launched a park expansion plan that added greenery and decorations to reinforce healthy trees/plants already grown in the park in an attempt to improve living quarters and provide greater access to public lawns. The revamped park was inaugurated on November 13, 2006. Herbs, including therapeutic Chinese herbs, are grown along Xiyuan Road in the brand-new Park No. 402, where benches and an activity plaza (approx. 256 m2) were installed between the park lanes parallel to Bangka Boulevard and historic buildings. A variety of shrubs (blue butterfly bushes, Osmanthus, etc.) connect the plaza, the buildings and corridor; massive lawns and trees (such as banyans, Fan Palms, Chinese Hackberry, camphor trees and Spindle Palm) abound in the park, offering the neighborhood a perfect bonding place for recreation and chit-chats. | 2011/10/27 | 2014/09/02 | 臺北旅遊網 | Wanhua Dist.,Taipei CitySection 2, Xiyuan Road | 2014/09/02 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/pic/11003593.JPG | 20 | Y | 121.498018 | 25.032684 | Longshan Temple | |||||||

When China’s Nationalist Government relocated to Taiwan in 1949, the then-President Chiang Kai-shek moved into the quiet Grass Mountain Chateau, previously a guest house of Taiwan Sugar Company. Perched strategically on the mountaintop, the chateau commands a view of such natural phenomena as the Guandu Plain, Shezidao and Mt. Guanyin. Grass Mountain was renamed as Yangmingshan in 1950 in memory of the great philosopher Wang Yang-ming. The 4,275 m2 Chateau has a Japanese-style main parlor which was common in the 1920s. Occupying an area of 584 m2 with aged trees by its gate, the main parlor is an embodiment of nostalgia that consists of the hallway, lobby, reception room, study room, bedroom, master bedroom, living room, guest room, kitchen, atrium, balcony, etc. The four smaller structures surrounding the main parlor, which had been the dormitories of Mr. Chiang’s bodyguards, were converted by the city government into artists’ studios as part of an aesthetic space. Eventually, those visiting the chateau will be able to engage themselves in unobstructed dialogues concerning ecology, culture and arts. | 2012/03/14 | 2014/08/14 | 臺北旅遊網 | Beitou Dist.,Taipei CityNo. 89, Hudi Rd. | 2014/08/14 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/image/A0/B0/C0/D12/E843/F44/5ab65ac1-6f32-4dc8-8672-a7e76f749595.jpg | 20 | Y | MRT:1.

In 1901, Taiwan Governor’s Office consolidated the Taiwan Pharmaceutical Factory, Taiwan Salt Bureau and Taiwan Camphor Bureau into the “Monopoly Bureau of the Taiwan Governor’s Office”, marking an important beginning of the monopoly system. Before the Retrocession of Taiwan, the eight commodities included in the monopoly system were: tobacco, liquor, opium, salt, camphor, matches, petroleum and measuring instruments. The building was constructed in 1913 to cater to the voluminous workload of the monopoly system. It was designed by an engineer of the Construction and Maintenance Division of the Taiwan Governor Office, Matsunosuke Moriyama (1870 -1949) and was completed in 1922. The architectural style is similar to that of the Presidential Office, and it became the model structure that was copied after by other elites architectural projects at that time. The building features an L-shaped floor layout and there is a semi-circular gable at the facade. The foyer has a spherical roof top and the façade; both the right and left wings feature a column-style design, giving the exterior of the building a rich and grandiose look. After the Retrocession of Taiwan, the Taiwan Provincial Administrative Executive Office, in an effort to maintain its financial resources and minimize the taxpayers’ burden, decided to continue the monopoly system. The organization was restructured as “the Taiwan Province Monopoly Bureau”, with the number of monopolized items down to five: tobacco, liquor, camphor, matches and measuring instruments. By 1968, the two items that remained in the monopoly system were tobacco and liquor. | 2011/11/13 | 2012/01/16 | 臺北旅遊網 | Zhongzheng Dist.,Taipei CityNo.4, Section 1, Nanchang Road | 2012/01/16 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/pic/11000893.jpg | 20 | Y | By MRT: 5 minute walk to Nanchang Road from Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall StationBy Bus: Take Bus No. 5, 204, 204 (shuttle), 227, 235, 241, 244, 295, 532, 630, 662, or 663, and alight at Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Bureau Stop | 121.51488 | 25.03407 | Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall | 886-2-2321-4567 | |||||

There are five historic city gates in Taipei: the East Gate (Jingfu Gate), West Gate (Baocheng Gate), South Gate (Lizheng Gate), Lesser South Gate (Chongxi Gate) and North Gate (Cheng’en Gate). They were built by Liu Ming-chuan during the reign of Emperor Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty as a measure to expedite urban development by encouraging businessmen to invest in or build houses/streets in Taipei City. Also known as Cheng’en Gate, the North Gate in erstwhile Taipei City served as a major gateway to Dadaocheng. The two-story fortress of North Gate is enclosed by sturdy walls in the form of a highly guarded citadel. For surveillance and defense reasons, the square- and round-shaped window openings on the front and back of fortress are the only two features on the second floor. Similar to the East Gate, the North Gate in its inception had a small enclosure on the outside, commonly referred to as “urn city”, or “Wong Cheng” in Chinese. There used to be a horizontal plaque saying “The Key to Territory Safety” which had hung across the gate. The plaque was unfortunately removed by Japanese colonial rulers and is now located on the empty lot in front of the North Gate for display. In light of the emerging trend of cultural heritage preservation in recent years, the city authorities decided to abandon a demolition plan of the historic North Gate. Of the five ancient city gates, the North Gate is the only one that remains what it used to look like in the Qing Dynasty, as well as one of the most valuable state-designated historic sites in Taipei. | 2011/10/27 | 2015/03/23 | 臺北旅遊網 | Zhongzheng Dist.,Taipei CitySection 1, Zhongxiao West Road | 2015/03/23 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/pic/11000875.jpg | 20 | Y | By MRT: Get off at Taipei Main Station and walk for 10 minutes along Zhongxiao West Road.1.

It is surprising that the distance from the MRT station to the skyline-viewing area is not at all intimidating, thanks to the extraordinary scenery that is revealed with each step toward higher altitudes. Popping up upon entering the skyline-viewing area is a secluded, tree-shaded mountain trail in a primitive forest. While rock and broken trunks scattered by the trailside add to the thrills of adventure, don’t forget to hold onto the rope and heed loose rocks on the steep trail, which is a poplar walking exercise spot in the neighborhood. Having climbed 2,500 meters uphill, including the skyline-viewing trail with occasionally high gradients, people love to catch their breath on the vast mountaintop platform, watching egrets hanging around a huge cemetery, while getting ready for the challenges ahead. Not only are stone steps built throughout the downhill footpath to make it more manageable, but hikers looking for some extra fun are also offered two optional routes.

As one of the many businessmen who earned enviable amounts of fortune in the country’s tea business, Chen Tian-lai founded Jinji Tea Co. and reinvested his profits in the entertainment industry, such as theaters. The current Chen Tian-lai Residence at No. 73, Gui’de Street used to house the former Jinji Tea Co. This three-story Baroque structure was completed in 1920 with the first floor dedicated to tea trading, the second floor serving as a guesthouse for tea-traders, and the third floor as private residence. The main structure of this imposing European-style house, flanked by guard towers on both sides, as well as classic colonnade and arched hallway, is adorned with baroque details as festoons and balconies. This historic residence used to be a renowned tea party spot in Dadaocheng, where tea-traders met regularly at the guesthouse to enjoy the view at the Tamsui Wharf in the distance. Behind the Residence, a private garden adjacent to Gang-zi Ditch (the present-day Xining North Road) bears testimony to the heyday of Dadaocheng in the first half of the 20th century. | 2011/10/25 | 2015/03/11 | 臺北旅遊網 | Datong Dist.,Taipei CityNo. 73, Gui’de Street | 2015/03/11 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/pic/11000900.jpg | 20 | Y | By MRT: Get off at MRT Shuanglian Station and walk for 15 minutes from Exit 2 1.By bus: Take Red 33 and get off at Dadaocheng Wharf; or, take 255, 518, 539, or 669 and get off at Minsheng West Road stop. 2.By car: parking is available outside the 3rd and 5th Water Gates | 121.508405 | 25.056090 | Shuanglian | 886-2-2336-2798 | |||||

This sumptuously decorated, two-story Chinoiserie structure was completed in 1971 to mark the 60th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution. Located at the geological center of Yangmingshan National Park, this building offers a spectacular view of the Taipei Basin in the distance. A pond in front of the building, observable from the second-floor veranda, is children’s favorite as they are allowed to feed the varicolored carp in it. Adding quaint and solemnly elegant appeal to Gaungfu Building are exquisite carvings, paintings and numerous other typical Chinese architectural details that subtly made references to literature classics. When the flowers are in full bloom, the building becomes an island in a sea of cherry blossom petals.

Operated by the Taiwan Association for Literature Development in June 2011, and officially known as “the Kishu An Forest of Literature”, the building incorporates scenic views of the Southside Literary Park into services both in- and outdoors, providing literature lovers a comfortable space to luxuriate in reading, writing, coffee, and surprising encounters with celebrated literary figures. Soon to be restored, the historic Kishu An used to be a restaurant under Japanese colonial rule before being converted into personnel’s dormitory of the Chinese Nationalist government. It is the geographical center of an area in southern Taipei that features culturally significant streets and places in the history of Taiwan’s post-war literature, which include Kuling Street and two national universities. The area is the cradle of literary magazines/societies and prestigious publishers such as the Blue Star Club, the Chinese Literature and Arts Association, and Pure Literature Co. As the center of a literary Mecca where Lin Hai-yin and Lin Liang strived toward realizing their visions, alongside other prominent writers, Kishu An will be revamped as a historic symbol of Taiwanese literature. | 2012/02/24 | 2012/02/24 | 臺北旅遊網 | Zhongzheng Dist.,Taipei CityNo. 107, Tongan St. | 2012/02/24 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/image/A0/B0/C0/D0/E573/F521/afa1291c-0959-4ff8-8fe6-29798cd28d2f.jpg | 20 | Y | From MRT Guting Station (behind Exit 2): approx. 10 min. on foot along Tongan St. to the end of the street (on the left) Buses No. 253, 297, 673: alight at the Qiang Shu High School stop, walk 5 min. along Tongan St. toward Riverside Park.

The institute plans to give designers access to a database of designers/apparel manufacturers and incubator-oriented training programs, among other resources and assistance, in order to encourage collaboration between fashion designers and companies. It also serves as a liaison between fast pattern-making centers and designers, so the latter may focus on cultivating their expertise as creative designers and front-end workers in the fashion industry. A tree-inspired interior designA cradle of competent Taiwanese fashion designersThe Fashion Institute of Taipei, located in the culturally significant Bangka area (a.k.a. “Monga”) and previously known as the Taipei Costume Cultural Center, is a 3-story emerging fashion landmark with the Bangka (or Dali) Fashion District being its hinterland. Driven by the vision of “a tree of creativity”, the institute matches its brick-red exterior with an interior designed to resemble a tree nourished by Wanhua’s historical and cultural influences, which would hopefully foster local designers who give back to Bangka’s clothing business in the manner of decomposed foliage sustaining the soil. The institute vows to help its resident designers secure demonstration contracts with apparel firms from across the Bangka Shopping District, and eventually build worldwide reputation for the country’s original fashion brands and design prowess. Collaborating with academic institutes to nurture emerging designers is also a priority for the Fashion Institute of Taipei. In addition to guided tours for faculty members and students in areas pertaining to fashion or apparel, the institute launches summer internship programs to give students a sense of how a design project is linked to marketing efforts, other than acquiring an insight into the country’s ready-to-wear sector, through active involvement in Bangka’s clothing business operations and designer-corporate partnerships. Also available for local talent are analytical programs about the latest clothing trends, or professional fashion shows. An inspiration-packed facilityA resident designer program for maximum creativityDecorated with a color scheme centered on pure white, the ground-floor lobby is a space that offers fashion information while catering to all five senses, as evident in a catwalk stage for designers’ lovely projects and a café in the cozy corner, where visitors seek inspiration while sipping coffee and browsing through stylish clothes or glossy design-related publications. For greater efficiency, exciting films are played on interactive LCD screens (controlled using a device similar to Wii) on the ground floor to offer details about the Fashion Institute of Taipei, the cultural and historical aspect of Bangka, or the resident designers, including their styles and portfolios. The second floor is converted into a mobile work platform for designers, with personal studios closed to the public on weekdays. To encourage designers to push the envelope and present art museum-worthy clothes, this creativity-charged space comprises a pattern-making section where all fabrics are available for free. The institute is seeking additions to its list of the current five resident designers (Norah Hsu, Wei-xiang Zeng, Andre Kao, Xue-Zheng Lu and Yu-Lin Shih) through annual auditions aimed at scouting out fresh designers with the potential of shining in the international fashion industry. On the 3rd floor, an area suitable for moderate-scale fashion shows, exhibitions, performances and lectures, is thickly carpeted and upholstered for soundproofing. For further diversified and flexible use of rooms, the ceiling rails, arranged to resemble the map of Bangka, are combined with movable partitions to offer designers just the right amount of space. The exhibition and performance facility, complete with backstage dressing rooms for models, are available for rent by fashion design majors for training courses or fashion shows. | 2012/06/20 | 2015/03/23 | 臺北旅遊網 | Wanhua Dist.,Taipei CityNo. 9, Sec. 2, Xiyuan Rd. | 2015/03/23 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/image/A0/B0/C0/D5/E366/F506/48b2caf8-4911-4943-bf41-52caf7a411ca.jpg | 20 | Y | Approx. 5 min. walk from MRT Longshan Temple Station (Exit 2).Bus: 38 (shuttle), 234, 265 (incl. shuttle), 651, 673, 705, Blue 28: alight at the Taipei Costume Cultural Center | 121.498205 | 25.032339 | Longshan Temple | ||||||

The Pingdeng Villagers remain highly dependent on these historic canals for their household water supply. Old Pingding Canal TrailThe hiking trail starts from Lane 95 of Pingjing Street, Pingdeng Village, with its up-and down-hill stretches covered by moss. The first sight that greets hikers along the trail is Qingfeng Pavilion, and located near the canal entrance is a bright-red inscription saying “Old Pingding Canal” with a brief history of the canal provided. The hiking trail runs parallel to the canal until reaching a cave at the end of waterway. It offers a glimpse of an adverse waterfront aquatic ecosystem along the way. Ecological phenomena along Old Pingding Canal Trail The Old Pingding Canal Trail is located approximately 300-500 meters above sea level in Pingdeng Village, Shilin District, on a plateau sloping toward the south. A combination of meandering Neishuangxi River, Neiliao River, hills and creeks, the trail area is a cradle for various species of vegetation, mostly Giant Elephant Ears (Alocasia macrorrhizos), Red Nanmu (Machilus thunbergii), Chinese Soap Berry (Sapindus mukorossii), Kadsura Pepper (Piper kadsura) and bamboo.

It was the only residence Chiang chose to build in Taiwan and became one of the culturally and historically significant buildings in the Yangmingshan National Park. Offering services ranging from travel information to guided tours, this recreational spot integrates nature and culture; sense and sensibility. The history of the Yangmingshuwu can be divided into the “forest park” period, the “Zhongxing Guesthouse” period, the “Historical Commission of Kuomintang (KMT) Central Committee” period and the “national-park administration” period. The approximately 15-hectare site is located on Zhongxing Road, adjacent to the Flower Clock near Yangjin Highway and Dongsheng Road. Nestled in what was initially a primitive forest, the Yangmingshuwu is overseen by the Yangmingshan Administration; it once served as a campsite of the General Association of the Scouts of China. The Zhongxing Guesthouse and its appendix buildings were completed in 1970, with the forest remaining partially intact. After Chiang Kai-shek moved into the guesthouse, the neighboring area was heavily guarded for security reasons, hence the diversified eco-system in the academy’s proximity and along Zhongxing Road. In 1975, the Zhongxing Guesthouse was renamed as Yangmingshuwu (shuwu literally means “document house”) as it became the location of the Historical Commission of KMT Central Committee’s office, as well as the collective storage place for historical documents previously kept in Caotun and Qingtan, and also for historical materials relating to Chiang Kai-shek from the Daxi Information Office and the Zhishanshuwu. On Sep. 26, 1997, the Historical Commission of KMT Central Committee donated the aboveground structure and the administrative rights of Yangmingshuwu to the Ministry of the Interior, which in turn placed the Yangmingshan National Park in charge of the operations. With careful planning, the Yangmingshuwu was reopened to the public on Jun. 27, 1998, after the establishment of an administrative office. The Da-yi Hall was built to expand tourist services, followed by the Yangmingshuwu Visitor Center beginning to offer tourist information, videos, back-lit panels, scale model exhibits and guided tours on Sep. 11, 2000. | 2012/09/14 | 2015/03/23 | 臺北旅遊網 | Beitou Dist.,Taipei CityNo. 12, Zhongxing Rd., Yangmingshan | 2015/03/23 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/image/A0/B0/C0/D0/E197/F437/7b0f3ab9-6d75-4af9-a034-202f40098f9c.JPG | 20 | Y | Start at the Taipei Main Station: Take the MRT Danshui or Beitou Line to the MRT Jiantan Station Bus Red No. 5 Yangmingshan Main Station Transfer to Bus 108 (Leisure) Start at Taipei Fine Arts Museum: 1.

Suspended at the center by four steel cables, the uniquely S-shaped, red-painted bridge has an arch structure reinforced with steel ribs, complete with wooden railings. Generously paved with pink and pale blue tiles, the bridge is a modern landmark and also a public facility that can only be accessed by foot and by bicycle. People are often seen strolling on the bridge, which is a shortcut between Neihu and the Raohe Night Market and Songshan Railway Station, drastically saving travel time for those living in the Songshan and Neihu Districts. The Rainbow Bridge attracts many amateur photographers at night, when its illumination adds much to the beauty of the city’s nightscape. Meanwhile, the Blue Highway’s terminal wharf established here also helps to draw crowds to the bridge, making it an emerging, popular tourist destination for those visiting Taipei. | 2012/09/14 | 2012/09/14 | 臺北旅遊網 | Neihu Dist.,Taipei CityConnecting Xinming Rd. and Raohe St. in Songshan Dist. | 2012/09/14 | http://www.travel.taipei/d_upload_ttn/sceneadmin/image/A0/B0/C0/D0/E197/F523/5cb3c358-a095-4c0f-be87-9b4662327022.JPG | 20 | Y | 121.576746 | 25.051607 | Songshan |
