Elephant Mountain
Begin your journey with a walk up the scenic trail of Elephant Mountain. Surrounded tropical greenery, this brief trail leads directly to the most iconic viewpoint in the city, offering a front-row seat to the Taipei 101 skyscraper—a striking, modern contrast before diving into Taipei’s historic roots.
Wanhua Old Taipei
Step into authentic Wanhua starting along Xichang Street Flea Market (before well knowed as thieves market). Explore its retro antiques alleyways filled with vintage curiosities, folk talismans, and the aromatic, centuries-old stalls of Herb Alley. A dip into Taipei’s old-world roots then step into Xinfu Market (U-mkt)—a 1935 Japanese colonial market known for its unique horseshoe (U-shaped) design and heritage vibe.
Datong District & Dihua Street
Culture, memory, and traditional heritage combined. Start at the Xia Hai Temple to ask Yuelao for love, and wander past the red-brick shops, spice vendors, and teahouses along historic Dihua Street.
Dadaocheng Wharf & Ningxia Night Market
The grand finale along the Tamsui River and into the evening. Watch the sunset over the water with cold drinks at the Dadaocheng container market, then wrap up the tour sampling classic Taiwanese street food at the nearby Ningxia Night Market.
