At 509 meters high, this was the world's tallest building from 2004 to 2010, when the Burj Khalifa in Dubai surpassed it. The tower is reminiscent of a pagoda or a stalk of bamboo and designed to withstand typhoons and earthquakes common in Taiwan. Floors one through five are a shopping center and both the indoor (89th floor) and outdoor (91st floor) observation decks offer a 360-degree panoramic view.

Its length is about two hundred meters, and its architecture dates back to the early days when the Republic of China was newly established. Architecture buffs will enjoy this display of Japanese colonial architecture. Peruse historic relics and stores selling art and ceramics. Be sure to visit Zushi Temple, considered to be one of the most beautifully sculpted in Taiwan.

BabyBoss City is Taiwan’s first simulation city made for children. The city is designed to create an environment for children to play and learn at the same time. Inside the 2300sq. ping city there are 50 professions and over 70 different occupations waiting for kids to explore. The settings allow games and role-playing scenarios to stimulate children’ learning capability. Once entered into BabyBoss, the children set their minds on only two things “learn from playing” and “learn from doing”. This environment opens up their abilities from within and sparks unlimited potentialities. The concept of money and how to value it are thoroughly taught within the city. The hands-on learning process is not only fun but also very rewarding.

"a few days before visiting the National Palace Museum we visited the Tokyo Museum located in Ueno park in Tokyo. We enjoyed much more in the National Palace Museum. It has great ceramics collection and present the history in a relatively clear way. The Museum architecture is yet another advantage of..." it.
A few tips:
- Musuem is located in the north of Tapei, so it takes more time to get into it. However, it is worth it
- Usually it closed at 6:30PM, so I recommend to be there before 4:30PM. Note that specific galery may be closed at 5PM
- the Museum has a few good gift shops

"Always visit beitou for a hot spring experience when you are in Taipei, it will leave you feeling really refreshed. It takes a lot of walking to get to the hotels at the top if you want a better (and more expensive) experience, my advice is to check with the hotels in advance if there is any shuttle..." service. This will save you the trouble of walking up.
