Why go
Taipei Expo Park is a practical travel tool: it gives you space. If you’ve been doing tight streets, night markets, and constant MRT transfers, a wide, green area can make the whole trip feel calmer.
It’s also a strong pairing zone: you can cluster multiple Yuanshan-area sights into one clean day plan.
How to use it (without overplanning)
Plan one anchor nearby (a museum or landmark), then use the park as a buffer. The goal is to walk slowly, snack lightly, and keep the mood soft.
- Museum anchor → park reset → dinner in Zhongshan
- Family day: park time → early dinner → back to hotel
