The National Palace Museum in Taipei holds one of the world's greatest collections of Chinese imperial art — over 700,000 artefacts spanning 8,000 years. Pair it with a private culinary and cultural walk through Da'an for the full Taipei luxury experience.
What to expect
Your guide meets you at the museum's grand steps and navigates you through highlights spanning Neolithic bronzes, Tang dynasty paintings, and the famous Jadeite Cabbage — a cabbage carved from a single piece of jade, minute in size but staggering in artistry. After the museum, transfer to Da'an District for a private afternoon tea at a Taiwanese tea house, followed by a walk through the atmospheric Yongkang Street for xiaolongbao tasting. The afternoon light over the museum gardens is unforgettable.

Port of Keelung is approximately 40–50 minutes from Taipei city centre by express train. Taxis and private car transfers are readily available from the port. The museum opens at 09:00; mornings are significantly less crowded. Book museum entry online in advance to avoid queues.
