Why go
Treasure Hill is a great antidote to “only icons.” It’s the kind of place that feels discovered rather than consumed: small lanes, hillside angles, and creative energy layered over older Taipei history.
If you like travel that feels personal and slightly unexpected, this is a strong addition to your itinerary.
How to visit (and keep it enjoyable)
Go slow and keep it small. Pair Treasure Hill with one nearby anchor and one food stop. This prevents the day from becoming transit-heavy and keeps the mood intact.
- Treasure Hill → Museum of Drinking Water → Gongguan dinner
- Treasure Hill → NTU/Gongguan stroll → café break
- If it’s very hot: go later in the day and keep walks shorter
