Taipei City
As Taiwan’s capital, Taipei draws travelers with landmarks like Taipei 101, the National Palace Museum, and Yangmingshan National Park. Beyond its urban charm, the city’s outskirts offer rich natural landscapes and pastoral scenery.

Zhuzihu, Yangmingshan
Beitou District
Nestled in Yangmingshan National Park, Zhuzihu is renowned for its flower fields, clear streams, and rolling green hills, making it a popular spring and summer destination in Taipei. From March to April, calla lilies bloom, followed by bigleaf hydrangeas from May to June. Several local farms and studios offer hands-on workshops where you can make dried flower bouquets or floating flower arrangements, allowing visitors to bring a touch of nature into their homes in unique ways.
*If you're planning to take specially processed floral crafts like dried flowers or floating flowers abroad as souvenirs, be sure to check the customs regulations of your destination in advance, as rules may vary by country.
A Day in the Suburbs
Neihu District
Take the MRT to Neihu Station, then hop on a bus to Baishihu, where you'll find the famous Baishihu Suspension Bridge and the Bishanyan Temple. It’s also the closest strawberry-growing area to Taipei city. Strawberry season runs from December to May, and visitors can pick and eat fresh strawberries on-site or turn them into homemade jams. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the many trails around Baishihu, which offer elevated views of the cityscape.
One day life with tea
