　　An attractive example of the old building-turned-artsy-marketplace formula, the handful of old civil-servant dormitories known as Audit Village are now the site of a browse-worthy handicraft market, with some cafes and pastry shops. Some of the ltter were particularly impressive (think delectable custard tarts, light-as-air souffle pancakes, and crumbly Chinese mung-bean cakes).

Pi-Lu Monastery

　　Built by a devout Taichung family in the 1920s, Pi-Lu Buddhist Monastery looks more like a mansion than a monastery, with its red-bricked facade, Doric columns and portal entrances. Framed by pines in the garden out front, the monastery stands graceful and reverent, though not without a hint of quirkiness,...

National Museum of Natural Science

　　A fantastic place for kids and botany fans, this massive museum has over 50 exhibit areas covering space, the environment, rainforests, gems and minerals, dinosaurs, and Han and Austronesian cultures. Galleries have fun, interactive displays; there are also theatres and a huge botanical garden. Some zones impose separate admission charges...

Zhongxin Market

　　There are only a few outlets left in this once-busy market – meat and vegetable operators are around from 4am to 10am; food stalls in the periphery open for breakfast and lunch. Some older people still live in the tiny shops; while a gallery, a bookstore and a cafe have...

　　A historical landmark, this beautiful 20-hectare park was designed by the Japanese in the early 1900s. The elegant Japanese pavilion was a later addition – purpose-built for a visit by the Japanese prince to witness the launch of the Taiwan Railway. All around the lake, stately banyans offer shade to...

Gaomei Wetlands

　　Beautiful wetlands teeming with life rendered surreal by the sight of wind turbines on the horizon. It is especially photogenic at sunset and makes for a nice day out for the family. Take a local train to Qingshui (清水), then board bus 178 (NT$20, 30 minutes). There are only five...

National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts

　　Taiwan's top fine-art museum features the works of both established and upcoming Taiwanese artists, as well as famous foreign creators such as Japanese 'Polka Dot Lady' Yayoi Kusama. There's a hands-on play area and storybook centre on the lower floors to keep children entertained. ...

Qianyue Building

　　Highly Instagrammable semiderelict building with large areas covered by awesome graffiti. In the abandoned spaces of this former shopping mall, you may be able to make out a banquet restaurant, tuition school and residential flats (some occupied by artists). Ascend to the roof where there's a cylindrical structure that used...
