Discovery Center of Taipei
Would you like to get to know Taipei better while you visit the capital of Taiwan? Come and enjoy a free tour of the Discovery Center of Taipei.
Entering the Taipei City Government building, which consists of two cross-shaped structures, you will see the souvenir center on the left; many specialty products connected with Taipei are sold here. On the right side, the Discovery Center of Taipei will give you a chance to browse through Taipei’s history and culture via interesting and fun interactive devices and videos.
Each floor in the center has its own theme exhibitions. We recommend that you to head to the 4th floor after visiting the 1st floor, and then visit the remaining floors from top to bottom. For instance, the entertaining "Longshan Temple Fortune Stick Machine" is located on the 4th floor. The machine will automatically print out a fortune slip and give you your fortune for the day after you put an imitation coin into the slot and draw a fortune stick. The 3rd floor displays an amazing theme wall, created by the illustrator Wan-wan, and also contains interactive devices. Occasional special theme exhibitions connected with Taipei are held in the Special Exhibition Hall on the 2nd floor.
Last but not least, please do not miss the 360-degree ultra-large screen "Discovery Theater" on the 4th floor. With multimedia films playing in rotation, you will be able to view many facets of Taipei without going out on the streets.
