【Longshan Temple】Longshan Temple is located in the center of Taipei’s West District and is the religious center of the local community. The temple was first built in the 18th century by Chinese immigrants who came to Taipei, who later established a trading and commercial settlement in Menga District. In the following years, Longshan Temple experienced many earthquakes, typhoons and war air raids, but it always stood firm due to repairs, the enthusiasm of believers and the blessing of the gods. Today, Lungshan Temple has become one of the most representative buildings in Taipei's history and a popular tourist and worship attraction for foreign tourists and believers.

[Presidential Palace] [Presidential Palace] A few steps from the lively Ximending, you can reach Taiwan’s political center - the Presidential Palace. Completed in 1919, the building was originally designed to house the Governor-General's Palace in Taiwan during the Japanese occupation.

[228 Peace Memorial Park] was formerly the "Taipei New Park" established in 1908 during the Japanese colonial period. It was the first European-style park in Taiwan. In 1947, the park became the site of protests against the Kuomintang government, an action that set in motion a series of events now known as the February 28th Incident, leading to severe crackdowns by the Nationalist government. In order to commemorate and acknowledge the government's past mistakes, the park was eventually renamed "228 Peace Memorial Park"
