Description

Your tour begins with a private pickup at Taoyuan International Airport and direct transfer to the National Palace Museum. Home to one of the world’s largest collections of ancient Chinese imperial artifacts, the museum exhibits masterpieces spanning five millennia, including the famous 'Jadeite Cabbage' and ancient bronzes. Your guide will highlight key pieces and provide insights into East Asian art history.

Next, visit Longshan Temple, built in 1738 and a renowned example of Taiwanese folk art. Observe the lively rituals of local worshippers, and admire the gold-leaf carvings and elaborate dragon pillars that reflect the area’s spiritual heritage.

The tour continues to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and Liberty Square. Walk under the grand white archway and take in the vast plaza framed by the National Theater and National Concert Hall—classic examples of traditional architecture—and photograph the blue-tiled memorial symbolizing Taiwan’s democratic history.
