Built-in 1937, Yanmishan has always fascinated and attracted both tourists and local residents of the island. The park is located about 20 volcanoes, some of which are still active. In the craters of several extinct volcanoes are lakes. In addition to dense forests, the park has fields and cherry groves. This is an incredible place for recreation and walks.

shifen waterfall The Shifen waterfall is a twenty meters long and forty meters wide state reserve. Residents nicknamed it "Little Niagara" because of its certain resemblance to the famous waterfall. Its cascading structure embodies the water element's true beauty, which does not just flow down, but as if dancing his simple ballet. This place loves both Taipei people and any tourist who has ever seen this incredible treasure of nature. The waterfall is easy to reach; there is no need to look sideways or drive to it with many transfers. However, like any other waterfall, Shifen literally stuns with its roar of crashing water flows against the rock. The main feature of this Instagrammable place is the waterfall itself and the incredible nature around it. So stock up on earplugs, protect your phone or camera from splashes and go ahead for Instagrammable shots.

9. Shuangxi Park

taipei city It is a two-hectare park built-in 1974 in the Shilin district of Zhishan Street, one of the main attractions of which is the classic marble lions protecting the park's entrance gate. However, tourists most often visit Shuangxi to see the giant water lilies. The park has beautiful arched and zigzag bridges, well-groomed patios, and beautiful pergolas in Chinese style. Here everything is done according to the concept of Feng Shui. And despite its attractiveness, it is not particularly popular among tourists. Mostly Taipei people come here to relax from the hustle and bustle and walk along the beautiful, neat paths of the charming small park. However, as soon as the water lily blossoming season starts, the park will immediately fill up with tourists, photographers, bloggers, or just fans of beautiful photographs. And if you have the same opportunity, do not waste time and go to Shuangxi! If you want truly incredible and unusual Instagram photos for your profile on Instagram, the Taipei landscape, which creates water lilies at the peak of its flowering, will certainly surprise your subscribers.

10. Qianshan Park

amazing scenery It is a very quiet and peaceful park, located near the Yanminshan mountain road. Qianshan is very different from any other city park, but its special charm is pristine and clean. And although the park was once badly damaged by outdated structures and structures that had a strong impact on the environment, the park is ready to welcome visitors with pleasure after the restoration and work done. In addition to the magnificent nature and winding paths, there are foot hot springs, a couple of ponds, an unusual Taipei landscape, streams, arbors where you can relax, and just very beautiful scenery.

11. World Park 2/28

taipei night view The Memorial Park of Peace is a small but charming place. It has a long history, being founded in 1908 as the first European-style park in the center of the capital. Despite its simplicity and irresistibility, a park is still a memorial place with a history of terrible events. In any case, it is an obligatory place for all tourists to visit. But although the history of this place is very sad, it still remains one of Taipei's fascinating assets. This park is beautiful both day and night due to its consecration, which recreates a magical, even mystical atmosphere. Here you will find beautiful landscapes against the background of the river and delightful buildings in the classic oriental style. Beautiful Instagram photos can be taken here, taking a variety of angles. If your guide will include a stop in Peace Park, be sure to take some time to do some photoshoots.

12. Night Taipei

taipei night Separately, I would like to highlight the splendor and beauty of the capital city in the evening and at night. Many fluorescent signs, lights, burning buildings, and illuminated billboards, car headlights, and scooters turn an ordinary Taiwanese city into a real fascinating fairy tale. Just walking through an endless number of lighted streets, you can recreate interesting photos for your profile on Instagram. Not everyone who hears the name of the capital of Taiwan can imagine where is Taipei and what Instagrammable places it hides in itself. However, having got acquainted with it a little, having seen at least a part of its beauty, one wants to come back again and again and discover more and more charming and incredible Instagrammable places. He is rich in history; every corner is filled with some magic or even mysticism. Walking through this city's streets, you will discover many new things because this is a very special city with original architecture, incredible nature, and its own captivating authenticity. Taipei has absorbed most of the Chinese traditions. After spending only a couple of days here, you will soon forget the atmosphere of this city and will likely come back, again and again, either for new beautiful views or to get to know the island Taiwan culture.
