The environment is comfortable, and exchanging tickets is very convenient; not having to take out cash to pay is fantastic. You can also buy tickets at the entrance if needed, which is really convenient.
The exhibits inside are incredibly diverse; I always manage to spend half a day here.
Making pineapple cakes wasn't easy; I needed the instructor's help to get the dough right. Since the filling was pre-made, it tasted good. During the baking process, a guided tour explained Chinese culture.
The Palace Museum has a very rich collection. A thorough visit would take a long time. There are also many interesting souvenirs to take home. It's definitely worth a visit and offers great value for money.
I only realized after so long that I hadn't written a review yet!! If it's a rain-free day, then this is the perfect ticket for cooling off at the Science and Education Museum in the afternoon and heading to the Children's New Park in the evening! The Sky Bike and Museum Bridge at the Science and Education Museum, while not ideal for those with a fear of heights, are still very worthwhile experiences. The unlimited access pass is truly a must-buy at the Children's New Park; if you ride many attractions, it's not only worth the ticket price but also saves you a lot of trouble paying while queuing for rides.
The weather was bad, so I was able to use the unlimited bus pass, which was a great help. I visited the National Palace Museum, Jiufen, and Shifen. I was also very happy to receive a cute cup as a gift.
You can buy coupons that can be used on the same day, easily book a spot at a 24-hour massage parlor, enjoy the expertise of the masseuses, receive excellent service, and are treated to mung bean soup and hot tea after your massage, plus a complimentary pack of biscuits.
