At the designated time, we’ll meet up with our guide at Exit 1 (outside) of the MRT Longshan Temple subway stop. Our first destination is the Longshan Temple, one of the oldest and most iconic temples in the city, offering a glimpse into Taiwanese spiritual life through its exquisite Buddhist and Taoist styles decor.

After visiting the temple we'll take Taipei's MRT for a short ride to Taipei's North Gate. Beimen is a historic landmark built in 1884 during the Qing Dynasty. It’s the only surviving gate from Taipei’s original city walls that retains its authentic look.

From Beimen North Gate we'll walk to the entrance of the historical Dadaocheng, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Taipei.

This fabric market is Taipei’s top textile hub, offering a wide range of fabrics—from traditional prints to modern designs. Located in a historic building, it also features tailor shops and a vibrant wet market downstairs.

Dadaocheng also hosts one of the most popular temples in the city, the City God Temple. The history of this temple is intimately tied to the history of Dadaocheng, as it was founded shortly after the first settlers came to Dihua Street. This temple is also popular amongst the locals for being the place to pray to find your special one.

(OPTIONAL, depends on availability) This old Tea Shop was established in 1934 in Dadaocheng. Is a beautifully restored three-story building that once served as a tea shop, factory, warehouse, and residence.

If Sin Hong Choon is no available on the day of your tour we can visit beautiful Wang tea instead. Run by the Wang family who moved to Taiwan from China in 1890. Their shop was their base for the export of tea to Southeast Asia. We will have the opportunity to visit Wang’s tea factory and discover the traditional way to produce and store tea. The store’s staff and our friendly guides will guide you through the basic types of tea (oolong, black, green, tieguanyin, etc.) and demonstrate how to perform a Taiwanese tea ceremony.
