Itinerary
The park preserves most of Taiwan's Japanese-occupied buildings and other cultural relics with historical value. It also has a monument commemorating the victims of the February 28 Incident. The park also features a concert hall and sports areas.
In front of the City Hall Plaza, you can not only look up at Taipei's tallest skyscraper 101, but also look down at the rainbow runway. Just like the starting point of running towards happiness, it not only once again conveys Taipei City's original intention of promoting sexual equality, but also echoes the Taiwan LGBT Parade that starts in front of the city hall every year.
Wei-ming temple also known as the Rabbit God Temple, lets LGBTQ+ friends have spiritual support.
The Ximen Red House was built by a Japanese architect in 1908. It consists of an octagonal tower and a cross tower. It is the first officially built public market in Taiwan and is the oldest and most complete Grade III historic building preserved in Taiwan today. After The Red House was renovated 20 years ago, many gay bars began to move in, establishing a gay-friendly business district, and now it has become a famous representative of Taiwan’s gay tourist attractions. Note: Travel time is included in the total duration.

About Taipei
Taipei is Taiwan's capital, a hill-ringed city of night markets, temples, hot springs, tea houses and the tall Taipei 101 tower.
Taipei sits in a basin ringed by green mountains, and Taipei 101, a 508-metre tower styled on bamboo segments, is its skyline marker. The National Palace Museum holds a vast collection of imperial Chinese art, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall stands at one end of a broad plaza, and Longshan Temple is a busy shrine of incense and carved dragons. Dihua Street preserves old shopfronts selling tea, herbs and dried goods.
Top-ranked sights in Taipei: Shifen Waterfall, Taipei 101, Yehliu Geopark.
