The host was very friendly and patient in conducting the cooking class, and we had lots of fun with the hands-on making of xiao long bao. She was also very helpful in introducing us to the different kinds of tea unique to Taiwan with an elaborate tea ceremony appreciation, and we enjoyed ourselves! Highly recommended for couples and also travelling individuals who are interested to try their hand at learning about Taiwan’s culinary and tea culture. It was a fruitful and enjoyable 4 hours spent!

We visited this temple after visiting the Confucious temple nearby. The temple looks old with intricate carvings and ornaments on the roof. Many people prayed here and it was fairly smoky due to the many burning joss sticks.

If you love tea, this is a MUST VISIT. I found out about Lin Mao Sen from a blog post about the Dadaocheng area. The writer, who had been living in Taipei with his family for quite some time, claimed that Lin Mao Sen and the store right next to it were the best places in Taipei to find the best quality teas for the best prices. I was first approached by an older staff member who didn't speak English but he immediately directed me to a younger staff member who was fluent in English. As a tea enthusiast myself, I greatly appreciated the staff member's genuine passion and vast knowledge about tea. He talked extensively about black tea, green tea, jasmine tean, oolong tea, and pouchong tea while he showed me and allowed me to touch and smell each of the aforementioned tea types. I can be quite indecisive when I buy tea but thankfully, the staff member was patient enough to allow me to go back and forth to smell the teas we narrowed down. You may be surprised at the cost at first because the cost of 600 grams worth of tea are labelled on top of each tea canister. The highest quality teas may go as high as 2400 NT$ per 600 grams. Just keep in mind that you are allowed to buy a minimum of 150 grams worth of any of their tea so just divide the price in 4 and you'll come up with a more budget-friendly price tag. The store also sells other tea paraphernalia like teacups and teapots. After comparing the prices of tea at tea houses in Maokong to the prices of Lin Mao Sen, I can attest to its reputation as one of the best sellers of quality teas at fair prices in all of Taipei.

Beautifully laid out, this museum gives voice to an underrepresented group of war victims: women forced into sexual slavery to satisfy Japanese soldiers during WWII. It’s small, so it won’t take up too much of your time, and is an artfully presented exhibit of a barbaric piece of history.

inBlooom is a designer's printed fabric brand based in Taiwan. The store at No. 28, Minle St. is the main store of the brand. Which has the most complete products series in stock. Besides, there is another shop called "inBlooom Second Shop" at nearby, which sell more selected products by inBlooom. Highly suggest people go to both of these two shops to get the completely shopping experience of inBlooom.

The Museum of Contemporary Arts (MOCA), Taipei fills a gap in Taipei's artistic offering. It's more contemporary than modern. The Museum has a number of intallations, varying from time to time. The building dates from the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945). Following Retrocession, it housed the Tapei City Goverment. It later housed MOCA. There are free audio guides and group tours. MOCA is closed on Monday. Best access is by MRT, Zhongshan Station, Red or Green Lines
