Taipei Story House (Taipei, Taiwan)
The Taipei Story House / 台北故事館, formerly known as the Yuanshan Mansion (圓山別莊), is a historic house in the Zhongshan District, Taipei, Taiwan. It is now open as a museum in Taipei Expo Park / 花博公園.
The house was built in 1913–14 during Japanese rule by Tan Tiau-chun (陳朝駿), a Daitōtei tea merchant. It was originally a guest house for rich merchants, and other important local people.
The ground floor was built using brick and the upper floors of wood with English Tudor-style beams. The staircase is constructed to look like a pagoda. The entrance portico is in the classical style with Ionic columns.
The Story House museum now has exhibits related to tea and local history. It is located immediately adjacent to the Taipei Fine Arts Museum and close to Yuanshan Station.

TAIWAN TRAVEL VLOG: Back in Taipei !
I'M BACKKK!
And it feels great being back.. (despite the heat). Of course, the first thing I do when i get back was to eat all the delicious foods I had missed for the past year.
Ningxia Night Market:
This is one of the oldest night markets in Taipei, with a lot of history behind it. Here, you can find a great variety of different Taiwanese street foods, both new and traditional. You'll find things like stinky tofu, oyster omelette, taro cakes, and many more for you to discover!
MRT Station：Walk about 10 minutes from Zhongshan MRT Station or Shuanglian MRT Station heading West
Next we headed to Yong Kang Street, where you'll find lots of foooood (again). We had some minced pork noodles, and for dessert, we had some mango shaved ice... That's my idea of a perfect meal :3
For a night time stroll, we walked to Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall at night. It was kinda hard to catch on camera the mass beauty of the area. Next time, I'd try to go during sunset :)
I'm only here for a couple of days in total. So i'll be sure to treasure everyday! Let me know where you want to see in Taipei, and I'll do my best to vlog it for ya! :D

Chiang Kai Shek Shilin Residence Tour (Taipei, Taiwan)
The Shilin Official Residence / 士林官邸 is the former residence of late Republic of China President Chiang Kai-shek located on Zhongshan North Road in Shilin District, Taipei.
During the Japanese Colonial era on Taiwan, it was the location of the Shilin Horticultural Experimental Station. After the Republic of China lost the Chinese Civil War in 1949 and retreated to Taiwan, the property was requisitioned to the government and transformed into the residence of Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling by architect Yang Cho-cheng. Construction was completed by the Continental Engineering Corporation In the early days of the Republic of China on Taiwan, the residence was heavily militarized, fortified, and closed to the public.
Since 1996, it has been open to the public and is a popular place for viewing the gardens. The gardens include both Chinese and Western style horticulture. In addition to the gardens, the official residence includes the former home of Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling. The official residence home is a two-story western style home. The official residence house is currently opened to the public as of January 2, 2011. In addition, the grounds also include Madame Chiang Kai-shek's former Cadillac limousine, Chiang Kai-shek's personal Victory Chapel, and the Xinlan Pavilion (新蘭亭) with inscription by Yu Youren which hosted Chiang's birthday celebrations. Former President Chen Shui-bian revealed that the grounds contain a hidden tunnel that connects to the Presidential office in downtown Taipei.
During its history, the residence home has hosted famous guests and foreign dignitaries visiting Taiwan including then President of the United States of America Dwight D. Eisenhower and U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles.[6] In 1971, then Governor of California, Ronald Reagan, stayed at the residence when he was in Taipei as the United States representative to the Double Ten Day Celebrations.

Taipei Main Station Ultimate Guide-Taipei, Taiwan
Need to book a hotel for Taipei or anywhere else? Using this link to book your hotel with Agoda will give you the same price great price and help us out with a small commission:
Taipei Main Station can be extremely confusing to anyone including long time residents. I've tried to keep instructions on how to navigate the huge complex simple and if you follow the advice I give, mainly just using the signs above you for directions you shouldn't have too much difficulty getting around. I focused on the Taipei Main Station building where you'll find places to eat, shop, buy train tickets, the Airport MRT, the bus station located at the East Side of the main building, and the other MRT lines. If you are wanting to travel by bus to other parts of Taiwan including the Eastcoast, Central, and Southern Taiwan, then you'll need to go to Q Square where buses serve these regions of the island.
If you want to learn more about the Taipei Metro system and the Taoyuan Airport MRT then watch these videos:

Japanese tea ritual (茶の湯) & Lin An-Tai Home (文建會旅遊網站) in Taipei (臺北市)
Traditional Japanese tea ceremony (chanoyu [茶の湯] or chadō [茶道]) and an inside look at the Lin An-Tai Historical House (文建會旅遊網站) located in Binjiang (Pin Chiang) Park in Taipei City (臺北市), Taiwan (臺灣) during our trip on Feb. 9, 2011. This historical home is one of Taipei City's artistic and cultural locations that are part of the 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition (臺北國際花卉博覽會).
The tea ceremony was presented by students of Soochow University (Dongwu Daxue, 東吳大學, 东吴大学), a private university located in Taipei City.
The house is a traditional Chinese courtyard house with elegant decorations and is one of the few traditional houses preserved in northern Taiwan. The Lin family came to Taiwan in the 18th century and engaged in trade in northern Taiwan. With the money they made, they built a grand house and named it 'Lin An tai'. The house is almost 230 years old and is the best-preserved and maintained ancient house in Taipei City.
Lin An-Tai Old Homestead is famous for its delicate carvings; one of the examples is the creative dragon carving on the front door. There are six dragons, representing the six sons in the family. The carvings of vases and bats carry the meanings of good luck, wealth and safety. Some of the tiles and bricks of this ancient building have been restored due to its long history, but the stones and woods have remained intact over the long years. The crescent shaped pond in front of the building was used for defense, raising fish, prevent fire, water supply and keep a moderate temperature.
Han people from China's Fujian province settled in Taipei in the 18th century. They thrived due to a booming overseas trade. Unfortunately, very little evidence of their daily life remained after the Japanese occupation and rapid post-World War II modernization.
The Lin An-Tai home gives visitors a glimpse into the lives of the enterprising merchants, who made the Taipei area their home 300 years ago. A second-generation merchant in Taiwan, Lin Chih-neng, built this house in 1783 at the present location of Dunhua South Road. With accumulating wealth, subsequent generations expanded the house and named it Lin An Tai, with An commemorating their city of origin in Fujian, Anxi, while Tai was from the name of their business Jung Tai Shop.
Taipei City is hosting the Garden Festival in the Yuanshan area and sites include many of the city's artistic and cultural locations like the Zhongshan Soccer Stadium, Taipei Children's Recreation Center, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taipei Story House, the Lin-An-tai Historical Home and the Dajia Riverside Park.
The Flora Expo opened on Nov. 6, 2010 and will run until April 25, 2011. It is a garden festival recognized by the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH / IAHP) and is categorized as an A2B1 horticulture exposition.
The Garden Festival is organized by the Taipei City Government in partnership with the Taiwan Floriculture Development Association (TFDA). The city was chosen to host the event in April 2006.
The Expo is divided into four major areas: Yuanshan Park, Taipei Artist Park, Xinsheng Park and the Dajia Riverside Park. It has 14 pavilions and occupies an area of 91.8 ha (0.000918 km). Each area is also covered with many outdoor gardens, including a Global Garden Area (featuring exhibits from the USA, Greece, the Netherlands, Thailand, Bhutan, Hawaii, Hong Kong and Japan, among others), a Fujian-style garden, and a Sea of Flowers. In addition, it features over 800 varieties of orchids, 329 million locally-developed plant varieties, and award-winning landscape and gardening designs from 22 nations.
