citylikeyou — Taipei Fine Art Museum — Taipei by Ting-Ting Cheng

Taipei / Museum

While I am in Taipei, Taipei Fine Art Museum is one of the places that I go most frequently. Well, not only because it’s not far from where I live by scooter, but also because it’s really cheap! (The entrance fee is about 60p.) And, of course, despite the political scandal, the exhibitions are always diverse and interesting, and it has great library in the basement. On top of that, after my solo show, some of the staffs and I became friends. So, 60p for great exhibitions, free books and hanging out with friends, why not?

Taipei / Park

It might be a bit exaggerated to compare it with central park, but it is also a green space in the city centre. (Just a bit smaller.) It’s around my neighborhood, again, so I have a lot of childhood memories with it. I remember teachers from elementary school always brought us there, for field trip, which is only one block away. And I also had my graduation photos taken there. Nowadays, I go back for jogging often.

Taipei / Place

A beautiful old alley - one of my favorite walking path to collage. The residents in the alley still remain the old school living style that can rarely be seen in the city nowadays.

Taipei / Restaurant

Hidden in the small alleys of Minsheng District, this small Japanese joint is quaint with warm lighting and comfortable wooden chairs. Get a taste of homemade Japanese food, with set dishes revolving around entrées such as pork shogayaki, vegetable soup curry, or shiso chicken rolls.

Taipei / Park

I thought I was in fairyland the first time I came here. I have never been to such a natural place in Taipei. Cows, birds, mountains, a great meadow that you cannot see the end. This is my favorite place in Taipei.
