Visualize where this fits in your day (and plan nearby pairings).
If your trip needs a little open space, reservoirs are underrated. Shimen gives you big views and a slower rhythm—perfect after a couple days of Taipei’s density.
It works best as an add-on rather than the only plan: pair it with Daxi or Cihu and you’ll get a complete day.
Keep it simple: pick one viewpoint loop or short walk, take photos, then move on. Nature stops feel better when you don’t overcommit.

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.
