Why go
If your Taipei itinerary is heavy on temples and night markets, a smaller theme museum can be a refreshing change. Evergreen Maritime Museum is especially handy when weather turns—easy indoor time without needing to commit to an all-day museum marathon.
It also pairs naturally with historic-core landmarks nearby, so you can build a complete day with minimal transit.
How to plan it
Use one indoor anchor plus one outdoor landmark. That keeps your day structured but still flexible.
- Evergreen Maritime Museum → East Gate (Jingfumen) → 228 Peace Memorial Park
- Museum → café break → Ximending evening stroll
