We love climbing mountains and watching the sea.
This is one of our highly recommended one-day tours.
You could take a taxi from Zhongxiao Fuxing Station to Teapot Mountain. It will take approximately 30-45 minutes to get there.
When you reach Teapot Mountain, follow up the mountain trail, or walk down and go through the Golden Waterfall, 13 layer remains, and Ying Yang Sea.
You can take a cab from the taxi stop next to the coastal highway, and return to Ruifang station.

Entertainment & Activities
The Taipei Jianguo Holiday Flower Market is a large weekend flower market located under the Jian Guo Road overpass at the intersection of Xinyi Road. The flower market connects to the weekend Jade Market at one end which makes it a very long Taiwan style market for visitors and locals alike.
Even if you are not in the market for flowers, the Taipei Flower Market is a nice place to browse through to admire all the colorful varieties and arrangements of Asian flowers.

One of my favorite art scenes in Taipei. Enter through what looks like a plain building lobby but go up to 7th floor, the entire space might not quite big for a gallery, but good atmosphere. They often show some good work there.

If you like delicious food like me, this is one of the traditional Taiwanese street food. It's located around Shida neighborhood. Must try their Taiwanese sticky rice with Taiwanese sweet sauce! But be careful! You might only want to order a small size, the amount of one serving rice is exaggerated!

You might think all Taiwanese braised pork rice taste the same. Well, why not give this a try! I recommend braised pork rice, braised tofu and thickened soup. Our trick to make thickened soup more delicious is adding a bit of black vinegar and white pepper, it's also very Taiwanese style. And yes, there is always a long line waiting for you. :P

What a Laid back Taiwanese restaurant/deli with a cafe vibe! So hipster with the decor and how it's hidden. Most people will not find this gem. The menu are variations of the iconic Taiwanese bao. They are however huge in size, one will fill you up and leave you very satisfied. Can easily spend a few hours chatting here!

Great place to grab a drink and chill. Not as noisy as other cafes in Taipei. The food is nice and the tables are spacious for you to use your laptop while doing some paperwork as well. They open till late night, so it really works out for the night owls who want to find a corner and loose themselves in their work or gatherings with friends in this city.

Really good Taiwanese style fried chicken (and a variety of other foods), tastes much cleaner and less oily than what you'd find in the night markets. Being able to choose and add condiments such as raw garlic, peanuts and pineapple is a great touch. Chicken with soft bones and squid were both excellent. Definitely worth a try.

Cool multilevel bar that serves up some tasty cocktails, near the popular Yong Kang Street.
Enter through what looks like a plain building lobby but go up the stairs to a modern, industrial looking bar setting. Their menu wasn’t that extensive but their signature cocktails were delicious and well crafted.
