这两个是我台北最喜欢的旅游点:1.国立故宫博物馆.2.士林夜市
1.The Taipei National Palace Museum and the famous Forbidden City in Beijing are derived from the same institution,which was split into two as a result of the Chinese Civil War.Covering a total area of 1200 mu (about 198 acres),the National Palace Museum is located in the outskirts of Taipei City,Taiwan.Construction started in 1962 and the museum was inaugurated on November 12,1965,the 100th anniversary of the birth of Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925),the great Chinese revolutionary and founder of the Republic of China.Thus,the museum is also named as Yat-sen Museum.The splendid architecture of the structure is modeled on the Forbidden City in Beijing and incorporates elements of traditional Chinese royal design in feudal society.The museum itself has four floors.The first,second and third floors are used for exhibitions,while the fourth floor is a lounge where visitors can rest.
The Taipei National Palace Museum houses the largest collection of priceless Chinese artifacts and artwork in the world,including ancient bronze castings,calligraphy,scroll paintings,porcelain,jade,and rare books,many of which were possessions of the former imperial family.The full collection,which consists of some 650,000 pieces,spans many dynasties.Each exhibit,however,puts on display only about 1,700 pieces at a time.At this rate,assuming a duration of three months for each exhibit,it will take 100 years to cycle through the entire collection!Incredible!
2.Beyond a doubt,Shi Lin Night Market is one of the most famous night markets in Taipei,making it a long-time favorite among residents and tourists,locals and foreigners.Located in the Shi Lin (Shihlin) area,it surrounds Yang Ming Theater,extending in all directions as far as Wen Lin,Ji He,Da Dong and Da Nan roads.
Since it's such a huge market,almost any product imaginable,not to mention any kind of food,can be found there.The products are of good quality and quite inexpensive,so that you're sure to get your money's worth.In fact,the deals are so good that they draw large crowds even on weekdays.On weekends and holidays,however,the market becomes a veritable ocean of people,best described by the Chinese expression,"people mountain,people sea" .
Those who brave the crowds usually do so for two reasons:to shop and to eat.However,there are a few other places near the market that are worth a visit.These are noted below in the "fun places" section and,together with suggestions for food and shopping,provide a good overview of all that this fascinating market has to offer.

The National Palace Museum in Taipei, now boasting a much more international collection, still remains most famous for housing one of the world's largest collections of artifacts from ancient China. The museum reopened in December 2006 after several years of extensive renovations.

There are more than 3,000 artworks in the museum. Most of them are done after 1940 by Taiwanese artist, and are organized into 13 groups. In 2000, there were exhibitions of digital technology arts in the museum. In 2001, Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei (台北当代艺术馆;MOCA Taipei) was established in the Taipei City government old building.

The colonial government of Japan set up the Taiwan Governor Museum . The museum had a collection of over 10,000 items in its initial stages. In 1915, the new building of the museum in Taipei New Park was inaugurated and became one of the major public buildings during Japanese rule.

Several blocks away from Xinsheng South Road is the beautiful, pristine Mormon Temple as well as the Vatican’s representative office.
Besides large temples, small outdoor shrines to local deities are very common, and can be spotted on road sides, parks, and neighborhoods. Many homes and businesses may also set up small shrines of candles, figurines, and offerings. Some restaurants, for example, may set up a small shrine to the Kitchen god for success in a restaurant business. [5]
