Featuring Chinese palace architecture, the National Palace Museum is the largest among museums in Taiwan and one of the Eight Views of Taiwan. Among its collection of precious historical artifacts and artworks, the Jadeite Cabbage, Meat-shaped Stone, and Duke Mao Tripod are most widely recognized. The Zishan Garden on the left side of the museum's courtyard replicates Song Dynasty architecture and showcases an exquisite landscape and ambiance. During the summer, visitors can also enjoy the blooming lotus flowers. Within the National Palace Museum's campus, there is an international restaurant themed on "food arts": Silks Palace. This restaurant allows visitors to immerse themselves in the lush mountain scenery during lunch and indulge in Chinese cuisine crafted with both traditional and modern essence.
After visiting the National Palace Museum, you can also pass by the Chiang Kai-Shek Shilin Residence to enjoy the blooming flowers. The Residence boasts a beautiful gardenscape and hosts various flower exhibitions. These exhibitions include the Flower Festival during Chinese New Year, the Tulip Festival, the Rose Festival, the Begonia Exhibition, the Succulents Exhibition, the Autumn Orchid and Potted Flower Exhibition, the Chrysanthemum Festival, and more, each offering unique and diverse themes.
Another scenic spot worth visiting is the Taipei Performing Arts Center. It is said that its design was inspired by the twin-side hot pot in Taipei's night markets. The Taipei Performing Arts Center's appearance resembles a giant silver sphere composed of geometric shapes, and the curtain wall system of the main building's exterior is made of S-wave glass. Its exceptionally unique design garnered recognition in 2021, being chosen by CNN as one of the world's eight most disruptive buildings and nominated as one of the World's 100 Greatest Places by Time.
After visiting the National Palace Museum, Chiang Kai-Shek Shilin Residence, and the Taipei Performing Arts Center, you can explore the shopping district of Shihlin Night Market and Shihlin Cixian Temple to partake in the unique “night market exploration" experience offered only in Taiwan while praying for peace and health.
