Very impressive aquarium! Exceeded expectations and the largest tanks I have ever laid eyes on. Great family activity, we travelled down from Nantou county for this and well worth the trip! Highlight for me would be the humungous Coral Kingdom tank with a shipwreck and various underwater tunnels passing through for spectators to get a real feel for being underwater with marinelife. Also the Beluga whales and scuba diver feeding was impressive. Such a variety of different marine ecologies in each section of the museum. If I had to find fault it would be that the touch and feel session for the kids was rather strcit; not even allowed to pick up the starfish. All in all a great day out and well worth the entrance fee. Will return! :-D

The largest zoo in Asia, this was original a private zoological garden. The giant panda house, Formosan animal area, koala house and Asian tropical rainforest area are of particular note.

Taipei Zoo opens from 9-5pm eaily accessible via MRT Brown line, exit Taipei Zoo Station. The zoo ticket, in my humble opinion, is quite cheap NT 60 for adults while preschoolers (age 6 and below) enter free, can easily be paid via Easy Card. The first section we went was Panda House. There were two Pandas, TuanTuan and YuanYuan (their names means reunion in chinese, by the way) We managed to see both, one was in indoor and the other outdoor. Both were very active. Next, we went around, the Bird World, the Amphibian/ Reptiles House and the Penguin House (mostly indoor as it was raining) Lots of snack shops and toilets available. It is a large zoo and our legs were tired walking around, hence we took the shuttle train (single ride: NT5) to Maokong Gondola Taipei Zoo South Station (operates from 9am-4pm) and took the Gondola to Mao Kong. Note: Some indoor exhibits in Taipei Zoo (Including the Panda House) may close on Monday, therefore go on other days.

Quite popular little deer zoo near Kenting beach areas. It's very well maintained. Employees seem enthusiastic and the animals seem well taken care of. Recommend a visit but please treat the animals well.

We had a day trip to Yeliou from Taipei by bus (it is very comfortable). We had a lovely Summer day. We visited the Geopark where we could see amazing sand formations (formed from sand by the ocean/wind/rain and who knows). I have never seen such kind of formations so I like it so much. Also the park is very nice with its incredible blue/green colours. If you are in Taiwan, don't miss the possibility to visit this place.
