A Fun Time at the National Palace Museum, Taipei, Taiwan

Travelling is always fun! We always love the opporunity of experiencing and seeing new things.

The next morning, we went out to explore the area where we were staying and ate breakfast at a nearby cafe. There were many restaurants and cafes with great ambience and cosy outdoor seatings shielded from the tropical sun.

We had our first Asian cafe latte and a bolgogi seaweed breakfast wrap. It was delicious and different!

After we filled our stomach, we call for a cab ride using Uber which took us to the National Palace Museum, Taipei.

The Palace Museum is a breathtaking oriental palace situated on a hill with a commanding view of the city of Taipei.

Before entering the building, we couldn't help but taking a stroll in the garden.

The garden was adorned with oriental style buildings, long covered walkways, winding garden paths and wooden bridges.

Since I substained a minor injury due to a fall a couple of days ago, I was advised to limit my walking for a few days.

We asked the museum guide for the highlights of the many exhibits and chose a few to visit insteading of trying to see all the displays. The one I liked the most was the Immersive Theatre.

Using digital techology, visitor of the exhibit could personally experience the change of the season in the paintings which we were viewing

l leanred a lot about the history and development of Chinese paintings, ceramic and pottery.

The most surprising part of the day was seeing how many young people were visiting the museum and showing great interest in the display items and being engaged in the interactive activities designed by museum staff.

This was a testament to the dedication and commitment of the staff to making the subjests and displays as interesting and explorative for the young people as much as possible.

The Palace Museum is a great place to visit in Taipei1
