TAIPEI #39 (2025 Spring)
Editor's Note
In the culture-rich international city of Taipei, it's "take me out to the (base)ball game!" – plus, in this issue of TAIPEI, "take me out for some X-sports, to the World Masters Games, to the Tianmu Historic Trail, to unique tea-tasting experiences, to spring's splendiferous flower festivals" … and much, much else. Off we go!
Our triumvirate of feature articles is dedicated to the vibrant local sports scene. The main feature introduces you to the island's popular pro baseball world. A great way to deep-dive into Taipei culture is by taking in a game at the Taipei Dome or the Taipei Tianmu Baseball Stadium.
The second feature drops you into the thriving extreme sports world. The city government has been systematically expanding facilities recently, and we show you where to enjoy rock climbing, BMX, skateboarding, etc. The third feature is a helpful info primer, for participants and spectators, on the upcoming 2025 World Masters Games.
Our duo of A Day in Taipei city-neighborhood walkabout articles bring you to Dadaocheng and Chengnan. Dadaocheng, beside the Tamsui River, is one of this city's oldest communities. Visit such attractions as old-world commercial Dihua Street, the 1850s-built Taipei Xia-Hai City God Temple, and a heritage wagashi confectionery. In Chengnan – which means "south of the old city walls" – take in the celebrated National Museum of History and adjacent Taipei Botanical Garden, beloved Nanmen Market, and other cultural beacons in the area.
Awaiting in our two Out in Nature adventures is a "varied and meandering wander through Yangmingshan's southern foothills," starring the Tianmu Historic Trail and Mt. Shamao Trail, and an "untamed Taipei" nature-photography encounter with two gorgeous resident raptors, the collared scops owl and the crested goshawk. In our Fine Food twosome, visit tearooms presenting newfangled tea-tasting experiences (teas and tea cocktails) and vegan restaurants taking "meat- and dairy-free ne dining to the next level."
Over in the DIY Fun department, delve into dyeing at a textile art workshop in Dadaocheng, and in Where to… immerse yourself in the magnificent floral blooms of the Taipei all-year–discovering where you'll find the season's very best flower festival showcases.
Enjoy your time here with us in Taipei – this city of infinite traveler possibilities!
