Taipei is full of fun places and activities for kids. In the past few years, more and more fun parks, restaurants, museums, and theme parks have opened. In this blog, we will show you some of the funnest activities and places around Taipei that are fun for kids. ​

Planning your trip to Taipei?

Here are some top travel tips for you:

  • Best time to visit: April to November when the temperatures are nice and the water is warm
  • How to get there: Taiwan High Speed Railway and Inter-City Bus
  • Best places to stay: Fullon Hotel or Hai Xia Your Home
  • Book tours and activities in Taipei on Klook
  • Stay connected with a local SIM
  • Rent a car to explore distant sights

Tips For Travelling in Taipei with Kids:
  • Public toilets may be hard to find, but you can be sure to find them at MRT stations, government buildings such as libraries and administration buildings, gas stations, shopping malls and supermarkets, and a small number of convenience stores.
  • Bring sun protection. 
  • Bring an umbrella or rain gear.
  • Bring insect repellant.
  • Bring lots of water and stay hydrated, especially in the summer.

Tips for Travelling on Planes, Trains, or Buses with Kids:
  • Bring their favorite snacks
  • Bring a new toy or game for them to play with
  • If possible, book an exit row seat or a front row where there is more room
  • Get up and walk around the plane if it is a long flight
  • Bring headphones suitable for your kid’s ears if the small plug earphones don’t work well

Tips for Overcoming Jet Lag with Kids in Taiwan:

I have seen firsthand what jet lag can do to kids in Taiwan, so I have a few tips that may help you.
  • For the first day in Taiwan, take it easy (like short walks, visiting a park), but make sure your kids are awake until nighttime
  • Don’t do anything that involves lots of walking, hiking, or tours on the first day in Taiwan if your kids are jet lagged. This will make for grumpy kids and an unhappy vacation
  • Try to get your kids on a normal sleep schedule as fast as possible and avoid long naps during the day (which could mean waking up in the middle of the night later)
  • If your kids are going insane due to jet lag, find a place to rest and get them some snacks that they like from a nearby convenience store. That should liven their mood. Continue as needed until nighttime.


Basic Taipei Travel Tips:
  • There is no need to tip in Taiwan. It is not part of the culture here.
  • Taiwan uses the New Taiwan Dollar, and many transactions such as for street food still require cash. For more information, check out our guide to the New Taiwan Dollar here. 
  • Get yourself a SIM card or portable WiFi such as from Gigago here so you can stay connected and don't get lost in the city.
  • If you are from a country that does not have a 90-day visa-free program with Taiwan, consider getting your visa sorted with Ivisa.com. You can also check out our immigration FAQ here. 
  • Get travel insurance in case of unforeseen events. You can compare prices on Insubuy here. 
  • The electrical voltage is 110V.
  • Get yourself an Easy Card, so you can travel easily on the MRT, Train, HSR, Youbike, and even shop at convenience stores. You can also book a Taiwan travel pass on Klook here. 
  • For more travel tips, check out our foreigner survival guide here. 

When should you go to Taipei?
In my opinion, the best weather in Taipei is from March-May, and October - November, when the temperatures stay around 26 degrees Celsius and there is not as much rain.
Summers are also nice, with the most sunny weather, but also hot and rainy. 
Winters can be cold (but not below freezing) and usually wet. 
Overall, there is no wrong answer as to what time of year you should visit Taipei. You will have a great time here at any time of year. 

Hotels in Taipei:
We have stayed at and recommend the Yuanshan Grand Hotel, once the tallest building in Taiwan and still the most grand (book on Booking.com here or Agoda here).

We also recommend Fullon Hotel which has locations in Tamsui and Fulong near the beach (book on Booking.com here or Agoda here).
We have stayed at and also recommend Fu Chang Hotel in Ximending, which is within walking distance of Ximending shopping district (book on Booking.com here or Agoda here).

How to get there:
The only way to get to Taiwan is via airplane. Planes leave daily from Taipei's Songshan and Toayuan Airport. 
Taoyuan Airport: Taoyuan is Taiwan's largest airport and typically has cheaper flights and more flight times to choose from. It's about an hour's journey from Taoyuan Airport to the center of Taipei. You can travel via MRT, HSR, bus, or taxi to get to Taipei. 
You can get 30% off the Taoyuan Airport VIP lounge on KKday here. 
Songshan Airport: Songshan is a small airport in Taipei's city center, and can be a convenient option for people traveling within Asia. The airport is right on the Taipei MRT brown line. 
You can book cheap flights to Taiwan on KKday here, Trip.com here, CheapO Air here, or Kiwi here.

How to get around in Taipei:
Taipei's transportation system is convenient and safe. There are many options you can consider to get around in Taipei below:
By Train: 
Gets you to the city center of all major cities in Taiwan. It is about 800NT to get from Taipei to Kaohsiung. Roughly half the price of the HSR. Book tickets via the normal train (TRA)  on Klook here.
By HSR: (High-Speed Rail) – Gets you quickly from north to south. Besides Taipei and Kaohsiung, most of the stations are far from city centers. It costs about 1500NT to get from Taipei to Kaohsiung. You can book tickets to the high-speed rail (HSR)  on Klook here or KKDay here.

The Taipei Zoo is not only the largest and most varied zoo in Taiwan, it is also one of the best zoos in Asia, and at the same time has an extremely affordable price of only 60 NT per adult. If you have time you should definitely stop by and visit this zoo, if not for anything else but to see Taiwan's ingenious animals like the Formosan Black Bear and Sika Deer which are hard to see in the wild. ​

⛰️ Planning your trip to Taipei? □

Here are some top travel tips for you:

  • Best time to visit: All year round. There is something special for every time of year.
  • How to get there: Taiwan High Speed Railway and Inter-City Bus
  • Best places to stay: Yuanshan Grand Hotel or Fullon Hotel
  • Book tours and activities in Taipei on Klook
  • Stay connected with a local SIM
  • Rent a car to explore distant sights


Background:
The Taipei City Zoo was originally established during the Japanese Era in 1914 near the Yuanshan Hotel. After the ROC took control of Taiwan, elephants, lions, and bears were added to the zoo in 1952. Because there was not enough land to expand the zoo, it was moved to Wenshan District in 1986. Two employees have been killed by animals, one from an elephant and one from a black bear both in the 1970s. There have been no fatalities at the zoo since. The Maokong Gondola was built next to the zoo in 2007, connecting Taipei Zoo with Maokong.
 
The current zoo includes a Taiwan indigenous animal exhibit, children's petting zoo, tropical rain forest exhibit, desert animal exhibit, Australian and African animal exhibits, tropical animal exhibit, petting zoo, insect exhibit, and bird exhibit. There is also indoor Panda exhibit, insect exhibit, amphibian and reptile exhibit, koala exhibit, and penguin exhibit. 

Hours:
9 AM to 5 PM, tickets are not sold after 4:00 PM. 
Sometimes in the summer twilight hours are extended to 9:00 PM, but it's not worth going as most all of the animal exhibits are closed after 5:00 PM. 

Price:
60 NT per person
You can book discount tickets to Taipei Zoo on Klook here or KKday here.

Tours:
You can also book a Taipei Zoo and Maokong Gondola tour on TripAdvisor here.

As a foreigner in Taiwan, if you have preschool-aged children it could be a stressful experience to try to find an appropriate place for your child to go to school. Luckily foreign children have some priority when it comes to the public preschool lottery. Also, some preschools also have government subsidies. In this blog, we will give you a general overview of the preschool system in Taiwan.

Please note that the below information is only a general overview and details may vary for each school. I am giving this advice based on my experience as a foreign parent of two children who have gone through preschool in Taiwan. 
The numbers below were taken from the government website. For the latest information, please check the government website.

Taiwan monthly child stipend for children 5 and under: 5歲幼兒就學補助
First, let me start off by telling you that there is a monthly stipend for children of Taiwan citizen parents who are aged 5 and under, and are not enrolled in preschool. For the first child, the stipend is 5,000 NT, for the second child 6,000, and for the third child, it is 7,000. 
Once you enroll your child in public or government-sponsored preschool, this subsidy stops.

The Ultimate Travel Guide to Taiwan 台灣旅遊指南英文介紹

Thinking of coming to Taiwan? In this blog, we will share insider tips for planning a great vacation here.
Taiwan is the most friendly country in the world for foreigners and one of the best tourist destinations in the world. Many have called it the best-kept secret in Asia. Taiwan is not usually known as a travel destination, mainly because of PRC China which tries to downplay its existence and the fact that the Taiwan Tourism Bureau does not do a very good job. We will try to make up for that with this blog.

When to go:
The best time to go they say is anytime!
There is always a part of Taiwan that is great to visit at any given time of year.
However, most areas are most comfortable around May when it is not too hot and there are no northeasterly winds or typhoons.
​The typhoon season lasts from around June to October. The tourist busy season is during summer break from June to August, during which time it can be hard to book a hostel or airplane ticket. Winter is the less crowded season, but the water will be colder, there will be constant wind (which could cancel transportation), and it will rain more often.

How to get there:
By Plane:
You can book cheap flights to Taiwan on Trip.com or CheapO Air. You can also search for cheap flights in Taiwan here and here. 
You can also book discount tickets for domestic flights within Taiwan on KKday here. 
By Boat: 
There is a ferry boat between Kinmen and Xiamen, China. That is the only commercial way I know of to travel to Taiwan by boat.

Tours:
There are many tours and activities available such as snorkeling, diving, SUPing, Surfing, Speed Boating, Glamping, River tracing, Paragliding, Kayaking, Canoeing, River Tracing, River Rafting, River Tubing, Pack Rafting, Whale Watching, ATV / 4-wheeling, Paintballing, Water Biking, Glamping, Cycling, Ziplining, Horse Riding, and many others, which you can book through Klook here or KKday here.

Where to stay:
Looking for a hotel? We recommend booking through Agoda here, which provides the best quality selection of accommodation on the islands.
Booking.com, Expedia, and Hotels.com are also good choices. 

How to get around in Taiwan:
By Train:
You can take a train ride around the entire island in about 8 hours. Book tickets via the normal train (TRA)  on Klook here.
By HSR:
Taiwan’s HSR runs from north to south along the west coast of Taiwan, and is perhaps the fastest mode of transport available. You can book discount tickets via high speed rail (HSR)  on Klook here or KKDay here. 
By Bus: 
Busses leave hourly from most major cities. You can book inter-city bus on Klook here.
By Scooter:
You can rent a scooter on Klook or KKday. Scooter rental is about 300 NT per day. You can check out our scooter rental guide here.
By Car:
You can also rent a car for about 1500 NT per day. If you are looking for car rentals, you can also search Qeeq here, Klook here, or KKday here. You can also check out our car rental guide here.

Guandu Wharf 關渡碼頭

Picture
Guandu Wharf (關渡碼頭, aka Lingshan Temple) is a popular riverside area in Beitou District of Taipei. Along with a bike path with beautiful wildlife and river scenery, there is a ferry terminal and a small night market to check out. Nearby you can also check out Guandu Temple and Guandu Nature Preserve. It is definitely worth a visit on your next trip to Taipei. ​

□ Planning your trip to Taipei? □

Here are some top travel tips for you:

  • Best time to visit: April to November when the temperatures are nice and the water is warm
  • How to get there: Taiwan High Speed Railway and Inter-City Bus
  • Best places to stay: Fullon Hotel or Hai Xia Your Home
  • Book tours and activities in Taipei on Klook
  • Stay connected with a local SIM
  • Rent a car to explore distant sights

​Historical Background:
Guandu was originally known as Gantoumen 干豆門 (literally dried beans gate). Positioned with Guanyin Mountain and Datun Mountain behind it and facing the Tamsui River, it became a crucial port due to its strategic location. In the early days, settlers arrived in northern Taiwan through Guandu Wharf to establish their homes and cultivate the land, leading to the early development of the area. However, over time, sediment build-up at the mouths of the Keelung and Tamsui Rivers caused a decline in water transportation.
Guandu Wharf sits adjacent to Guandu Nature Park and Guandu Temple. On holidays and in the evenings, visitors frequently stroll and relax around the wharf. It’s also a popular spot for cyclists, with many riding from Bali via the Guandu Bridge or from Tamsui to enjoy the beautiful scenery. It's an ideal location for sightseeing.
The Taipei Ferry Company started operations in 2003, but due to sedimentation, many ferry routes along the Tamsui and Keelung Rivers have been shut down. 
Since 2023, a small night market has been set up near the wharf. ​
​
Price:
Free

Hours:
7 AM to 5 PM

Tours:

Lihe Eco Park is a small park built on a hill near Liuzhangli in Da'an District of Taipei. The park connects to Fushoushan Park and has swings, slides, hiking trails, and great views of the brown line MRT. It is definitely a spot worth visiting in Taipei. 

History:
Lihe Eco Park was built over an old mountain village and the Daan Cemetary No. 8 gravesite in the area, which were demolished in 2017 to protect people from a potential landslide. After the land was reclaimed by the government, the area was converted into an Eco Park with native plant gardens including Chinese tallow trees, fringetrees, and chinaberry trees. A memorial was also created for the former residents on the hillside. 
The park is usually not crowded due to its distance from the nearest MRT station.
The park is connected by trails to Fuzhoushan Eco Park.

Maokong gets its name from the eroded holes in the rocks around the area; the name literally means “Cat Hole.” The area has been one of the largest areas for tea production in Taipei since the Qing Dynasty. After the completion of the Gondola in 2007, tourists to the area have increased significantly. 

Hours:

Shanshuilu Eco Park (aka Shanshui Green Eco Park) in Nangang District of Taipei is a large grassy park with one of the best views in Taipei City, built over a former landfill. Here you can find beautiful mountain scenery, a large playground, ziplines, a sand pit, a reading room, and lots of large grassy areas. It is one of the most popular parks in Taipei City. 

Background:
Shanshuilu Eco Park was built over the Shanzhuku Landfill and opened to the public in 2013. The park is 21 hectares and it is the largest park in Nangang. 
The Shanzhuku Valley once had steep terrain, and used to be used for orchards and farmland. However, since about 1970, the valley was slowly filled in with landfill and a recycling plant, acting as Taipei City's main landfill site. Garbage stopped being collected after the site was filled to capacity in 2004, and the site was used as a recycling site until 2010. After 2010, it was decided to turn the site into a park.
Behind the park, part of the landfill is still in use and has renewed its permit until 2030 or until the site fills.  
The park features a small library and classroom, bathrooms, slides, two sand pits, ponds, bike paths, large grassy areas, an amphitheater, swings, trampolines, and zip-lines. 
Because of its large size and fun equipment, it is especially popular for families with small children and parking will usually get totally full on weekends with good weather. 
​Dogs are allowed at the park.

There are also amazing views of the nearby mountains, Taipei City, and the 101 tower. It is definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.
​
Background:
Nangang Park was originally called "Houshanpi 後山埤" which MRT Houshanpi Station on the blue line is named after, and literally means "the lake behind the hill." There are two other lakes in Nangang nearby, one is down the street from the park called Dongxinpi 東新埤, and the other one is accessible from Academia Sinica called Sanchongpupi 三重埔埤. The three lakes are home to waterfowl and other wildlife. Originally Houshanpi was one lake but was later split into two because of silting. 
Nangang Park was established in 1987 around the natural Houshanpi Lake/Pond. The pond also acts as a flood control system. 
The park is usually not very busy but you will see a lot of people here during nice weather and on weekends and holidays.

Daan Forest Park 大安森林公園

Daan Forest Park (aka Da'an Forest Park) is the most busy park in Taipei City. Built over a former military dependents village, it was meant to resemble Central Park in New York, and is considered the “lungs of Taipei.” You can also find lots of green space, ponds, and wildlife here. It is a great place to relax and connect with nature in the middle of the big city.

Background:
The area where the park stands now was first designated as parkland in 1932 by the Japanese as part of their urban planning for the city of Taipei. After the ROC took control of Taiwan, there were many KMT military servicemen and their families who needed a place to stay, and the park served as a temporary place to build rudimentary housing for them. The military dependents villages built here were called Jianhua New Village (建華新村), Yuelu New Village (岳盧新村), and many other illegal structures built by Mainland Chinese people following the KMT to Taiwan. At its peak, the area housed a few thousand people comprising four neighborhoods. Plans to remake the land as a park began in 1956, but were delayed by debate about whether to remake the area as a forest park or have a recreational building. In 1989, it was finally decided to make a forest park. In 1992, the buildings on the land were demolished, and the park was opened to the public in 1994. 
The park can get very busy on weekends.

    I am an American expat who has extensive experience living, working, and traveling in Taiwan. In my day, I had to learn many things about Taiwan the hard way. But I have come to learn that Taiwan is one of the best places in the world for Foreigners to live. ​This blog does not represent the opinions of every foreigner in Taiwan. I am just trying to help others learn more about this beautiful country.
    -Larry


    我來自美國, 我對台灣生活、工作和旅行有很豐富的經驗。我曾須艱辛地學習許多有關台灣的事情。但我已經了解到,台灣是世界上最適合外國人居住的地方之一。這個部落格不代表台灣每個外國人的意見。我只是想幫助其他人了解更多關於這個美麗的國家。
