Taibao City

The Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum in Taibao City was designed as a museum of Asian art and culture. The grounds include the museum and park as two distinct focal points, with different proportions.

Museum and Park as Distinct Focal Points

The grounds cover about 70 hectares: 20 hectares are occupied by the museum and 50 hectares by the park. The outdoor area is therefore considerably larger than the museum itself and forms an independent focal point of the site. When choosing your vacation rental, this difference is a useful point of comparison: will the cultural focus be the deciding factor, or would you like to include the landscaped park equally in your travel plans?

Paths, Gardens, and Varied Terrain

Various paths run through the park. Its landscaped areas include Waterscape Garden, Tropical Garden, and Festival Garden, as well as other areas. Water features and pavilions are designed to complement the varied terrain. For landscape enthusiasts, the appeal lies in the interplay of these named gardens, water features, pavilions, and the shape of the terrain.

Zhimei Bridge over the Artificial Lake

Zhimei Bridge is a 142-meter-long steel-arch landscape bridge in the park of the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum, where it spans the artificial lake. Its length gives the structure a clear sense of scale; the steel-arch form describes its construction, while the term “landscape bridge” places it in the context of the park’s design. The park’s landscaped areas and a specifically named bridge structure thus stand side by side. For travelers interested in the connection between architectural form and landscape, the bridge offers a distinct accent alongside the gardens and pavilions.

Different Family Activities in the Municipality

In the municipality, families can try surfskating at 芯浪國際滑板衝浪公園 under guidance and practice balance and control. The guided format gives the activity a specific focus: alongside trying it out, balance and control are central.

At 咩咩上樹萌寵樂園, families can get close to animals, and children can observe their behavior. The two activities in the municipality have different focuses: guided movement and practicing balance and control are central to surfskating, while the animal experience centers on being close to animals and observing them. Families can therefore consider which type of activity interests them more. A 2026 article by the county’s tourism bureau presents both experiences; check current operating details and availability before visiting.

Choosing the Right Focus for Your Vacation Rental

When searching for a vacation rental in Taibao City, you can first consider whether the museum and its park, or also the two family activities in the municipality, will be the deciding factor for your trip.
