Maji Square / Taipei Expo - A Must Visit When In Taipei
Get your self over to Taiwan you won't regret it. And if you should find yourself in Zhongshan Dsitrict head over to Maji Squre (also known as Taipei Expo).
We spent hours there. It's got great food options, bars, lots of cool shopping opportunities from many stalls, plenty of space for people to exercise and enjoy themselves. We saw gangs of kids and what were they doing, painting or practicing K-Pop style dancing. Many different groups of people. So cool.
I highly recommend a visit.
Maji Square
Maji Square is a marketplace filled with creativity. Being a part of Taipei Floral Expo Park, it was integrated with the design of famous designer Yeh Yu-Ching and transformed into a playground for adults.
There's simply not another place in Taipei city with all of the characters of this eatery. Only here you can be sure to enjoy a different level of spiritual calmness and enjoy peace at a different level.

Taipei’s Zhongshan district boasts coffee park with more than 80 productive trees
Next we bring you to a recreational park in Taipei’s bustling Zhongshan district where coffee trees usually found in high-altitudes are currently being grown.For the past seven years, coffee experts have been cultivating a number of different varieties in FuhuaPark, working extra hard to counter the effects of the Taipei basin’s unforgiving climate. Kettle in hand, Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je brews himself a cup and closely inspects the coffee trees’ growth. This coffee plantation is located within his own city!Huang Chan-huiFuhua Borough ChiefAt first we trialled planting some coffee seedlingshere in Fuhua Park. They flowered and fruited really well. Of course it’s to create an exciting feature for the community.More than 80 coffee trees have been planted in the nearly 2,000 squaremeter park. There are many different varieties, including Blue Mountain and Arabica. Cultivating high-altitude varieties in a park in a low-lying basin has taken a lot of effort.Yu Chi-mingNanshan Coffee CEOThe thing about Taipei is it’s too hot. So we have to water them often. If it doesn’t rain for two or three days we have to manually water them, to keep the soil moist and lower the temperature for them.Septuagenarian Yu Chi-minghas been in the coffee industry for almost 50 years. He’s been the driving force behind the coffee park’s creation, and he comes here to take care of the trees for about two hours every week.Yu Chi-mingNanshan Coffee CEOWe found the coffee a long time back in a seedling nursery in the mountains of Gukeng. The seeds are from Vietnam.In this community garden in the center of Taiwan’s capital, the rich scent of coffee pervades the air. The park also features repurposed spinning cups as seating, in a playful twist on the caffeine theme.

Yuanshan Park Area
East of MRT Yuanshan Station lies the Taipei Expo Park, which served as venue for the 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition. Many of the flower gardens and buildings created for the expo remain, and can still be enjoyed.
There you can also visit Maji Square, which in recent times has become one of Taipei’s hippest hangouts. The airy covered square includes an upscale grocery, a bagel shop, an “international food street”, featuring French, Mexican, Indian, Korean, Japanese, Thai and, of course, Taiwanese snack foods, a merry-go-round, the Triangle nightclub, a craft beer shop, a creative market, and restaurant-pubs.
Fine Arts Park Area
Continuing beyond Maji Square, you’ll pass the Pavilion of New Fashion, an imposing structure constructed of bamboo and PET bottles. Crossing Zhongshan North Road will then take you into the Fine Arts Park Area. Head left to visit the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, one of the city’s best museums. Beside its entrance area you’ll also find the Taipei Story House, a restored British Tudor-style mansion in which various exhibits are staged.
To complete your tour of Taipei Expo Park, cycle through the fairytale-like Floral Tunnel and over the eco-friendly Solar Bridge, then cross Xinsheng North Road to reach the third section, the Xinsheng Park Area. Here you’ll encounter wide-open spaces, more flower displays, a botanical garden, and the Pavilion of Dreams, home to a café that is a fine spot to stop for a drink.
Lin An Tai Historical House & Museum
North of the Pavilion of Dreams, cross Binjiang Street to reach the Lin An Tai Historical House & Museum, a gorgeously restored traditional south Fujian courtyard-style residence. If the complex seems oddly situated, that’s because decades ago it was saved from destruction in its original location on Siwei Road, and rebuilt here.
Dajia Riverside Park
Next, follow Lane 5 beside the complex to reach the Lin An Tai Evacuation Gate (No. 10 Water Gate), through which you can access Dajia Riverside Park. This lovely green expanse on the southern bank of the Keelung River between Zhongshan and Dazhi bridges is renowned as the venue for the annual Spring Wave Music and Art Festival and Taipei’s Dragon Boat Festival races. If lucky, you’ll get to see dragon-boat paddlers practicing near Dazhi Bridge.
This park also features a 75-meter-high water fountain which, when running, is a sight to behold, with the iconic Grand Hotel in the background across the river.
Rainbow Bridge
The path is flat for most of this journey, so you’ll barely break into a sweat before reaching the Rainbow Bridge. Pedestrian-only Rainbow Bridge is not in fact rainbow-colored; it is red, featuring a steel arch that is likened to the shape of a dragon leaping the river. This is a pretty spot to watch the sunset, and couples might have trouble resisting the temptation to take a romantic selfie beside the large steel sculpture of the word “LOVE” by the riverside path, with the illuminated bridge in the background.
Songshan Ciyou Temple
Before entering the 600-meter-long street in which the market is set up in the evening, you’ll want to first pop into Songshan Ciyou Temple, Taipei’s most renowned temple devoted to Mazu, Goddess of the Sea. The premises feature over a hundred deity statues, spread over six floors, with the ones at the top being the most impressive. The temple was recently restored, with a colorful new frieze added to the sides and back of the main Mazu shrine on the first floor.
Raohe Street Tourist Night Market
This night market is one of Taipei’s most famous, and many visitors say that it feels more authentic and less touristy than some of the bigger ones. The market’s most famous stall, evidenced by the long lineup even before the rest of the market really gets going, is Fuzhou Shizu Black Pepper Buns, right at the east-end entrance near the temple. At the center, another popular choice is Chen Dong Ribs Stewed in Medicinal Herbs.
