No pictures inside the museum, or this post would be a mile long! After that, we met up with our friends who live in Taipei for a lovely meal and a bit more sightseeing at night.
Longshan temple at night was beautiful!

Day 5
Day 5 was our first real day in Taiwan, and we spent it exploring one of the most famous places: the National Palace Museum. This museum has a huge collection of historical and cultural artifacts from the many years of Chinese history. It was a great visit for me as a history nerd, but I think everyone could enjoy this museum. There were certainly enough tourists there, it was the busiest museum I've ever been to!

Gorgeous shots! I can only imagine how a Chinese museum compares to an American museum, given how much older China is. Hope you're having great weather for sight-seeing!
ReplyDeleteYou should read up on how/why the museum was established. It's an interesting story. The weather has cooperated so far, but it's too hot and muggy for me. Lea and I have been bitten by bugs, too, especially hiking in the forest.
