We leisurely spent the day in Beitou, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and Shilin Night Market, which are all on the metro red line, on our fourth day in Taiwan. In the afternoon after our visit to Beitou, we moved to the magnificent Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (國立中正紀念堂) and the grand Liberty Square Arch (自由廣場牌樓). Every inch of the memorial was designed with intention and symbolism. 

Beitou is famous for its natural hot springs and rich history, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and culture. It was developed as a hot spring resort during the Japanese era. Beitou of today is characterized by its high quality spas and onsen hotels. 

Looking for an unforgettable day escape from Taipei? Taichung, with its vibrant mix of culture, history, and stunning natural beauty, is the perfect destination! Thanks to Taiwan's High-Speed Rail (THSR), a jam-packed day trip to Taichung is not only possible but incredibly rewarding.
