District
Zhongzheng (Botanical Garden area)
Best for
Quiet tea breaks, slow travel, garden-adjacent walks
Time needed
45–90 minutes
Highlights
- A calm, off-the-main-radar tea stop in central Taipei
- Pairs naturally with the botanical garden and nearby museums
- A great “slow travel” moment between bigger anchors
Why go
Not every Taipei moment needs to be an icon. Nanmending 323 is a small, peaceful stop that makes your trip feel personal: tea, greenery, and a calm view beside the lotus pond.
It’s especially nice when Taipei feels hot or busy—you can reset here, then continue with museums or a longer neighborhood walk.
How to plan it (so it feels like a real highlight)
Treat this as your pacing tool: one museum, one garden walk, one tea break. That’s a complete half-day in Zhongzheng with minimal transfers.
- Botanical garden stroll → Nanmending 323 tea break → National Museum of History
- Museum anchor → tea break → early dinner near Guting/Shida

Start with a simple loop: one neighborhood stroll, one iconic sight, and one night market. Taipei rewards balance.
Tip: hours, prices, and seasonal schedules can change. When something matters (like a museum ticket or a special exhibition), check the official listing before you go.
