Taipei Day 3 - Daan Park!

Location: Xin Sheng South Road, Section 1 Taipei 100, Taiwan

On day 3 before making our way to the National Palace museum which will be up in the next post, we decided to take a stroll at Daan Park near Taipei City. In fact we woke up late that morning and missed the breakfast buffet session.

As the largest park in Taipei City, Daan Park’s spacious environment makes it a rare city park. Daan Park has a variety of plant including bamboo forest, fragrant flowers, banyan trees, waterweeds, etc making it one of the most popular recreational areas in Taipei City.

Missed the hotel buffet breakfast, so we settled down at a nearby shop and had a simple breakfast to share.

This particular shop nearby Delight Hotel offers a variety of food from rice to noodles and even their homemade crepes!

After the MRT ride, we walked till we reached our destination at Daan Park. It was almost late morning and the sun was up and glaring! :P

I'll keep it short today! Up next would be the all time famous National Palace Museum which I believe it's a must stop destination for tourists... Stay tune... Have a good Friday and weekends are here once again! :)
