New Taipei City Travel

Banqiao is truly filled with bloggers’ photo hot spots! Guangzheng Street near Banqiao Train Station is also known as “brunch street”, which offers many popular brunch places that are not only all distinctive, delicious, and great photo spots, but are also fully packed every weekend. After enjoying some delectable afternoon tea, head to Banqiao 435 Art Zone, where the rainbow umbrella installation art is a popular social media check-in spot widely known among bloggers; and now there is a newly open secret check-in spot nearby! Nanzigou Pumping Station located at Huanhe West Road has been partially rebuilt and transformed into a biker rest stop. An adorable Little Prince and the little fox are drawn on the wall; hold up the one and only rose and take a picture with it– it will be as fantastical as landing on planet B612! Then, come to Crescent Bridge where you can take more beautifully dreamy picture. You think you got good photo-taking skills?! Then come and take a shot of beautiful reflected 8! For the last stop, let’s end with a great meal – Xinzhuang Temple Street Night Market that is approximately 5-minute walk from Crescent Bridge is a historical night market that you should not miss! The area had once been a bustling gathering place for business people, so there are many historic temple sites and eateries nearby – Taiwanese spring roll, starchy meat soup, and pork blood soup are all reasonably priced with big portions, so you will definitely be full and satisfied!

"You don't have to go abroad to enjoy beautiful waterfalls and mountains of Jiuzhaigou! Don't be a couch potato on the New Year holidays. Now pick up a camera and go out to capture beautiful scenery, let thoughts flow free, and then pray at the hundred year Mazu Temple, may fortune find you in the coming year!" Starting from the "Mudan Railway Station" in the morning, capture the unique sight of a train on a 120-degree curve from the platform; then the "Tiger Leopard Lake" with the nickname "Little Jiuzhaigou in Northern Taiwan" in the hidden mountain forest, a primal mystic place, enjoy the quiet experience of becoming one with nature; then go to the neighboring "Shoushan Temple" to visit the rare century-old stone Mazu Temple and pray for peace and happiness in the coming year.
