Приховані перлини Тайбея

Hidden Gems of Taipei

Taipei's lesser-known sites range from the sulfuric steam of Beitou's Thermal Valley to the volcanic slopes of Mt. Qixing, the city's highest peak. Cultural landmarks include the ornate Hsing Tian Kong Beitou Branch and the historic Taipei Tian Hou Temple in Ximending. For traditional flavors, Fuhang Soy Milk offers a glimpse into local breakfast culture with its wood-fired ovens. These locations highlight the intersection of geothermal activity, religious architecture, and culinary traditions away from the main tourist hubs.
