Songshan Ciyou Temple

Reviewed By fali84 - India, null

This is a beautiful and underrated temple! Right next to one of the gates of the Raohe Night Market, it looks beautifully lit at night and it equally enjoyable during the day time. The temple has stairs to access the multiple stories. I heavily recommend going up those, the view gets better and better and you get to see the artistry at each floor. Intricately carved, in a mtitude of colours and heavy detailing - thia temple is a delight. No entry fee, you can buy some offerings, use the praying wooden blocks for free (Ofcourse!).

Sunnyhills

Reviewed By Yv0nneSG - Singapore, Singapore

A relative bought this for us when she went Taiwan so I KIV this place and Chia Te. If possible, go to both places, they have different feel to it. Chia Te is very near the metro (nanjing sanmin) while Sunny Hills is quite a long walk away. Chia Te is more like the typical bread/pastry shop, crowded, everything is out on display while Sunny Hills was more like a premium spa. If you have never heard of this brand and walked past their outlet, you’ll never be able to guess that they sell pineapple tarts. You’ll be greeted at the door by a staff who’ll invite you to have a cup of tea and try their pineapple tart. It’s a very nice experience. The pineapple tarts here cost about NTD 41 each while those at Chia Te costs NTD 30 each. The packaging of Sunny Hill’s looks more minimalistic and chic and will appeal more to youngsters. Since we came all the way to Taiwan, we bought from both brands! Chia Te’s pineapple tarts come in more funky flavors (original/cranberry/cherry/plum/walnut etc) while Sunny Hill only comes in the original flavour and offers tester (must-try for their experience). I couldn’t find the weight of both tarts for comparison so hope this info is useful for you. Both weighs 50g! Disclaimer: Weight is inclusive of respective individual packaging, mine is a luggage scale so it may not be super accurate. Remember to bring your passport if you’re buying a substantial amount to bring abroad. There’s tax refund (not sure how much). We didn’t think of that.

Rainbow Bridge

Reviewed By Larry-Calif - San Francisco, United States

After researching the Internet photos, studying earth maps, and finding the location of the “LOVE” sign, we decided to include this spot as part of our group tour. The 6-feet high “LOVE” is located in front of the Rainbow Bridge (pedestrian) spanning the Keelung River. It is less than 4-minute walk from front entrance of the Raohe Street Night Market. After taking over 1,300 photos on our 13-day trip through Taiwan, the favorite photograph was the one of our group standing at the “LOVE” sign with the changing multi-colored Rainbow Bridge in the background in the warm evening. Coming halfway around the world from San Francisco, we stand next to the LOVE BRIDGE ... at the Rainbow Bridge.

Songshan Airport Station

Reviewed By winprotravel

This once domestic flights only airport now has flights directly to China and it's less than 2 hours now from downtown Taipei to downtown Shanghai. Use this airport for your Taiwan/China business trips and spare yourself the one hour each way taxi ride from Taipei to Taoyuan airport. It's hard to believe this overlooked airport is in downtown Taipei and operating right now. Limited international flights so check so check online. The domestic flights to Kaoshiung, Hualian, Taichung etc are all still in operation as well and save you a cross island drive or bus ride.

Songshan Station

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

Songshan Station is on the MRT Wenhu (Brown) Line, it also a Taiwan Railways Station. It is a gateway to Taipei's Songshan Airport, which is an active medium-sized international airport. With typical Taiwan inventiveness, the underground tunnel has been turned into a busy shopping mall. As shopping is a typical recreation for many Taiwan young women, this is a smart move.

Living Mall

Shaped like a giant black orb, this family friendly mall has nearly a thousand shops-a mix of large stores and small stalls-plus kid's activities like go-cart, laser tag, and a Hello Kitty store.

Spent a good three hours by purchasing the bundle at level 6 which consists of nerf fun shootout, horse riding and free play. End off with dinner at Lenini. Fantastic!
