To experience Taipei's historical elegance and explore the mysterious tunnels hidden within the City, the first stop of the journey is the Grand Hotel. Besides admiring its palatial architecture, visitors can also partake in a paid guided tour of the secret tunnels. Explore the world's longest secret slide in the West Tunnel or delve into the East Tunnel with its intentionally designed rough and winding walls, uncovering the secrets of the Grand Hotel's hidden passageways.
Next, visit the Lin Chi Temple, a temple with over a hundred years of history. It is the only Buddhist temple in Taiwan named for national protection and retains the architectural style of Japan's Edo period, making it a site of significant historical value.
Then head to the Grand Hotel Shopping District and the garden-like Taipei Expo Park, followed by a stroll along the MRT Green Corridor to the nearby Wenchang Temple at MRT Shuanglian Station. Wenchang Temple, known for its endless worshippers offering burning incense, attracts numerous students and parents during exam seasons. They bring items like admission tickets and zongzi (rice dumplings), which sound like “ensured success,” to pray for good grades. Continue to Taipei Confucius Temple, Dalongdong Baoan Temple, and the historic site of Si Shi Si Kan to learn about Taiwan's traditional beliefs and architectural styles.
After a day of temple tours, in the evening, visit Dalong Street Night Market to taste the traditional flavors cherished by locals since childhood.
