Complimentary Walking Tour of Taipei
We will convene at the designated time at Exit No.4 of NTU Hospital MRT Metro Station, which provides direct access to the 228 Peace Memorial Park, established as the first European-style park in 1908 during the era of Japanese rule.
Your journey begins at the 228 Peace Memorial Park, created in 1908 as a prime example of European-style landscaping during the period of Japanese governance. Following this, the tour will take you to the National Museum of Taiwan, after which we will stroll south through the park towards the 228 Peace Memorial, honoring those lost during the tragic events of February 28, 1947, amidst an anti-government uprising.
Continuing onward, we will reach the Presidential Office. Here, we will immerse ourselves in the vibrant local atmosphere as we wander through the bustling Chengzhong market. Our next destination will be Zhongshan Hall, a historic and emblematic structure built in 1936.
Having explored its historical significance, we will venture into the lively Ximending district, a hub of activity that has become one of the city's most frequented locales.
After approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, we will conclude our walking tour at the iconic Red House. This notable building has served various purposes over the years, transitioning from a public market to a bookstore, cinema, theater, and at times a gathering spot for Taipei's hidden LGBTQ community.
