xiaoyu Speaking of Taipei, what come to mind? a variety of snacks? idol drama? motorcycle? Before I traveled to Taipei, I also determined to eat as much as I could in Taipei. However, I came here, I found that in addition to dating delicacy, there were more variety of the unique experience in the rich humanistic temperament city.
The initial impression of Taipei was probably from the airport. The friends who understood Taiwan situation, you were familiar with Taiwan’s Taoyuan international airport. As the largest international airport in Taiwan, compared to other international airports, stripped of noise, more than a hint of quiet.
The first experience: speeding on city streets.
Sitting on the bus to downtown, along the road scenery and other mainland cities is not much different, it looked so extraordinarily kind.
When the bus entered downtown, Taipei streets came into view, the shuttle vehicles and the high buildings on both sides of the streets, there is a feeling of seem to have met before. But for those tall trees, especially coconut trees reminded me, I probably thought that I was in Beijing.
Taipei is not famous for flourish. Even in the downtown area, also appeare the outwardly decrepit building. However, this does not affect my impression of Taipei, with the old building adjacent to or across the street is a new building, this visual experience, I would be more like the seemingly devastated building, as if silently speaking about the past and change in Taipei.
The second experience: studies Taipei history in Beitou.
Beitou situated in the most northern of Taipei city, Taipei is famous for Beitou hot spring area, it is a concentration of many Japanese-style buildings. More and more tourists are choosing to come Beitou for “soaking soup” and seek the secret of the “soup” of witches.
Beitou hot springs museum is a museum of hot springs historical subjects, in the museum displayed the history of the development of Beitou. The overall building used Japanese-style wooden structure, it backs on to a green hill, the winding path leads to a secluded quiet place.

The third experience: quiet reading in the green building.
Peitou have a green building – Beitou library, it is selected as one of twenty-five the world’s most beautiful public libraries by flavorwire.com. Standing outside the library, you will know that the name is absolutely convincing.
The entire building in addition to green plants cover itself is also a wooden structure. In the forest of steel and concrete, unique, from afar, like a tree house. Read here, seems to also become more natural taste, reading has become more comfortable in natural oxygen bar.
The library uses french windows design, allow more natural light into the interior, thereby reduce the electrical energy consumption. This initiative is not only environmental protection, but also from the room directly overlooking the scenery outside the window.
Alien from the cool air in the library, the first floor and the second floor reading platform extending outward, reflected the distant mountain views, you can enjoy the oncoming breeze, holding your book, sitting in the embrace of nature, this cozy is valuable.
The fourth experience: feel like being in Kyoto, Japan.
The Beitou museum is a good japanese-style building, from the exterior view, such as being in Kyoto, Japan, the layout of this museum better preserved the building’s original appearance. The Beitou museum grows out of very famous Jiashan inn which is set up in 1920 AD, the exclusive spa hotels is a japanese officers club during the japanese occupation, now has developed into a collection and preservation of Taiwan’s early folk heritage and aboriginal art museum.
The museum can be divided into three parts; first, museum, standing exhibition; second, buddhist garden, a place offering sip tea and research tea art; third, the plow house, in addition to the cellar spa also has a Mongolian barbecue and Zhejiang cuisine.
In addition to understanding the cultural history of Beitou, also feel the quaint japanese style.
