Why go
This is a “big Taipei” landmark: formal, central, and easy to include without breaking your day plan. Even if you treat it as an exterior photo stop, it adds a strong sense of place to a historic-core loop.
The simplest way to enjoy it is to keep your expectations realistic: go for the landmark feeling, then move on to a museum, a park, or a street-culture neighborhood for contrast.
How to fit it into a real day
Don’t build an entire day around one building. Use it as a “civic anchor,” then connect it to one historic landmark and one comfort stop (museum/café).
- Office of the President → East Gate (Jingfumen) → 228 Peace Memorial Park
- Office of the President → North Gate → Railway Department Park → Dadaocheng tea browsing
- Office of the President → Liberty Square area → Zhongshan dinner
