The easiest way to travel in these districts is to take the Taipei metro's Zhonghe Line, heading south from Guting Station. The first station you reach when leaving Taipei is Dingxi, which is within walking distance of the Korean street and the artistic community on Boai street. If you are tired, you can stop at the area's famed soybean milk restaurant for a serving of baked sesame bread and fried breadsticks. Continuing on the metro is Yongan Market Station. Nearby is the area's largest green space, the 823 Memorial Park, and halfway between the Dingxi and Yongan Market stations is the world's only museum dedicated to each of the major world religions. Also Lehua Night Market is close by, which can satiate both the eyes and the appetite. Jingan is the third station you reach after leaving Taipei and is where you disembark to see the famed four-faced Buddha. Continue on to the terminal station of Nanshijiao for the Burmese street. Also if you follow Xingnan Road toward the mountains you can climb to the large God of the Earth statue in the Hunglodei area, an excellent place to view Greater Taipei. On your way back you can stop by Xingnan Night Market and save energy by riding one of the district's community shuttle buses.

Recommended Souvenirs

Yonghe/Wang's Bakery
Wang's Bakery puts a twist on traditional egg yolk pastries. It surrounds carefully prepared egg yolks with top-quality green bean paste, wrapping it in a crispy crust to complement the soft stuffings. This mouthwatering snack is sweet in the middle but has a salty flavor, a combination good enough that people line up just to get a taste.
