  • Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall
    Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is an impressive monument to Chiang Kai-shek.

    Get a new view of Taipei when you visit Maokong. The area gives you a breathtaking panorama of Taipei’s skyline, particularly if you take a glass-floor gondola to the mountain’s top. Stick around and explore the surrounding neighborhood, which includes quite a few teahouses. © Atosan | Dreamstime.com
  • Shezi Bridge
    Lastly, visit Shezi Bridge for yet another new view of Taipei. Crossing the Keelung River, it’s known for its unique architecture and specifically suited for cyclists and pedestrians. Enjoy the view along the coast, whether you’re walking up the riverbank or across the bridge itself. © Hsu Yu Sheng | Dreamstime.com
