Tea Ceremony Experience: Led by a tea master, learn about tea tasting and Taiwanese tea culture, and be demonstrated how to brew a cup of delicious tea. Savor the exquisite flavor of Taiwanese tea together.

▲ Qiandao Lake & Bagua Tea Garden
Named after its scenery, which resembles the stunning Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang Province, the lake gradually rises, covering the original mountain range, creating a myriad of interwoven islands. Its unique geographical location and pleasant climate have nurtured the tea plantations surrounding the Feicui Reservoir, producing two of Taiwan's top ten teas, Wenshan Baozhong and Oriental Beauty. Not far away is another popular scenic spot: rows of tea mats planted neatly from the top of the mountain resemble the Bagua symbol, earning it the name "Bagua Tea Garden."

▲ Shenkeng Old Street

Shenkeng Old Street, a famous tofu street, is a great weekend getaway. It's renowned for its stinky tofu, known for its delicious flavor and pungent aroma. You can find it here in various ways, including fried, grilled, boiled, and steamed. For the adventurous, don't miss it. If you're not too accustomed to the smell, try the tofu ice cream, which, unlike regular ice cream, has a rich, bean-flavored aroma.

▲ Elephant Mountain

Elephant Mountain is the most famous of the four mountains in the Taipei Basin, named for its elephant-like shape. From here, you can enjoy a superb view of Taipei 101 and a bird's-eye view of downtown Taipei, allowing you to fully experience the charm of Elephant Mountain.
