Taiwan Trip Dec 6-14 Day 7 - 故宮 National Palace Museum

Since we have 5 free tickets from the Taiwan Tourist Board, we decided to visit the National Palace Museum. Took the MRT to Shinlin Station. Just walk straight, the bus stop to the Museum is right ahead. Two helpful Taiwanese, including a cleaner pointed the bus stop to us. The bus was waiting for passengers with two very big words 故宮 on the staircase. You can't miss it and there are many buses to take. Journey takes about 10-15mins and the bus stops right in front of the museum - very very convenient. When you leave, take bus from the same bus stop back to Shilin Station. Spent 2hrs in the museum before we left for Tianmu. There were many beautiful exhibits on display.





Very beautiful building, almost like a palace. Very big compound
