A Travel Guide to Taoyuan City, Taiwan’s “Peach Garden”

Taoyuan city's cityscape

Taoyuan City (桃園市, literally “Peach Garden City”) is most well-known as the location of Taipei (and Taiwan’s) main airport, Taoyuan International Airport .

While the majority of travelers to Taiwan pass through it, very few actually visit it. At most, some travelers stop at the excellent Xpark Aquarium , often on the way to or from the airport. But there is quite a bit more to Taoyuan than that!

The surprisingly large city boasts a long list of off-the-beaten-track sights, including night markets, fishing harbors, coastal wetlands, waterfalls, high mountains, restored Japanese-era buildings, Daxi Old Street , Hakka culture, and the bizarre collection of Chiang Kai-Shek statues at Cihu Mausoleum .

In this article, I’ll introduce Taoyuan’s popular and lesser-known attractions, how to get to them, where to stay in Taoyuan, what to eat there, and more.

Taoyuan City Introduction

Taoyuan is in northwestern Taiwan, lying west of Taipei City , New Taipei City , and Yilan county, and north of Hsinchu county .

Originally the homeland of plains aboriginals, Taoyuan was later populated by migrants from China, who planted peaches there – hence the name Peach Garden.

Taoyuan developed quickly as a suburb of Taipei. It was originally part of Hsinchu county but became its own city in 1950. In 1979, the Chiang Kai-shek International Airport opened in Taoyuan, renamed Taoyuan International Airport in 2006.

Just like Taipei, Taichung , Tainan , and Kaohsiung , Taoyuan used to be a city and a county, but the two were merged in 2014. That’s why this “city” is now an expansive area that includes rural regions, mountains, and so on.

Taoyuan’s city centers of Taoyuan District (桃園區), Zhongli District (中壢區), and Longtan District (龍潭區) have a reputation for being a little gritty and industrial. Beyond the sprawling city center, though, the region boasts many natural and cultural wonders, as we’ll see below.

Taoyuan is known for its large resident population of Hakka people. Many Southeast Asian migrant workers also live there. Cheaper than Taipei, it is one of the countries fastest growing cities.

Getting to Taoyuan City

Most international visitors to Taiwan fly into Taoyuan International Airport, which is located to the north of Taoyuan City center and west of Taipei City. There are many budget flights to Taoyuan International Airport . I usually use this site to find the best deals on flights .

Most travelers ride the Airport MRT from Taoyuan Airport to Taipei City . But the same MRT also goes in the opposite direction, to Taoyuan High Speed Rail Station.

Taoyuan HSR Station is in Zhongli district center. The MRT ride from the airport takes 20 minutes. From there, visitors can quickly ride the HSR to cities down the west coast of Taiwan, including Taichung, Chiayi, Tainan, and Kaohsiung (Zuoying station). Buy discounted HSR tickets here and read my step-by-step guide to booking HSR tickets .

The regular (TRA) train also runs through Taoyuan City. Coming from Taipei, stops include Taoyuan, Neili, Zhongli, Puxin, Yangmei, and Fugang. It doesn’t go to the airport or HSR station. Learn more about reserving seats on TRA trains here .

There is no central transportation hub in Taoyuan connecting the Airport MRT, HSR, and TRA. While the Airport MRT and HSR meet at Taoyuan HSR station, the terminal station of the Airport MRT, Huanbei Station, is a 5 to 10-minute drive from the nearest TRA station, Zhongli station.

Xpark Aquarium is conveniently located right next to Taoyuan HSR Station. If planning a trip to anywhere else in Taichung, you’ll need to look up the individua directions – it may be easiest to get there by train, HSR, bus, or most often, a combination of the above. GoogleMaps directions are quite reliable.

Where to Stay in Taoyuan

The most common reason travelers stay in Taoyuan is because they have a very early or late flight to/from Taoyuan International Airport . For more info and options than I’ll provide here, see my guide to the best Taoyuan Airport hotels .

CHO Stay Capsule Hotel (see on Booking / Agoda ) is right inside Terminal 2, but it is pricey and often full.

Novotel (see on Booking / Agoda ) is the best hotel near Taoyuan airport. It’s a 3-minute drive from the airport and has its own MRT station, Airport Hotel station, one stop after the airport if coming from Taipei).

Backpacker’s Hostel (see on Booking / Agoda ) is the closest budget hotel to the airport. It’s a 5-minute taxi ride from the Airport of Kengkou MRT station (the last stop before the airport if coming from Taipei). There are dorms and double rooms.

Some people stay in Zhongli city center to be close to the HSR station , perhaps to get a night of sleep before catching the HSR to another city in Taiwan the next morning.

For a budget option near the HSR station, try Bluewater Hotel (see on Booking / Agoda ). COZZI Blue (see on Booking / Agoda ) is affiliated with Xpark aquarium and is an excellent, family-friendly hotel.

For exploring sights in Taoyuan, most travelers do it as a day trip from Taipei. If you do need to stay in Taoyuan city center for whatever reason, 191 Hotel (see on Booking / Agoda ) is a passable budget option or i hotel Taoyuan (see on Booking / Agoda ) is mid-range, both near Taouan TRA station.

Top Things to Do in Taoyuan

I’ll separate the below into attractions in Zhongli city center, Taoyuan city center, and Outside the City Center. Also click here for ideas on what to do at Taoyuan Airport .

Zhongli District

Zhongli’s top attraction for visitors is the new (opened in 2020) and impressive Xpark Aquarium . The aquarium is less than 10 minutes’ walk from Taoyuan HSR and MRT station.

It features multitudes of sea creatures as well as an enormous, highly Instagrammable water tank. Buy your tickets here online . You can even spend the night at Xpark ! Find out everything you need to know about visiting in my guide to Xpark Taoyuan .

Also close to Taoyuan HSR station is Gloria Outlets, where you get satisfy all your shopping needs, and the kid-friendly Taiwan High Speed Rail Museum (台灣高鐵探索館).

In February, you can see cherry blossoms at Juguang Environmental Park (莒光環保公園) in Zhongli.

Zhongli Night Market (中壢夜市, also called Xinming Night Market or 新明夜市) is the largest and best night market in Taoyuan. It takes place every evening and is a 5-minute drive or 15-minute walk from Huanbei station, the terminal station of the Airport MRT. (See my guide to the best night markets in Taiwan !)

Taoyuan District

Although Taoyuan is the city’s namesake district, travelers seldom go there. Here a few reasons you might want to consider it.

A short walk from Taoyuan TRA station, Taoyuan 77 Art Zone (桃園77藝文町) is a set of restored Japanese-era police dormitories. They now house some cute shops and cafés, plus some cherry blossoms (late-Feb to mid-March).

Taoyuan Martyrs’ Shrine and Cultural Park (桃園忠烈祠暨神社文化園區) is one of Taoyuan district’s most well-known attractions. The recently restored building is one of the best-preserved Japanese Shinto shrines in Taiwan. It’s a 6-minute drive from Taoyuan TRA station.  

Nearby, Hutoushan Park (虎頭山公園 or “Tiger’s Head Park”) as lovely city views and two beautiful temples.

Outside the City Center

Some of the top highlights of Taoyuan City lie outside of the city center, but you’ll need more time to reach them.

On the coast of Taoyuan, Xucuogang Wetland (許厝港濕地) is a great place to watch the sunset. With a crowd-free beach and wind turbines, it is reminiscent of the more popular Gaomei Wetland in Taichung. It is very close to the airport.

Zhuwei Harbor (竹圍漁港) to the north and Yongan Fishing Harbor (永安漁港) to the west are the go-to places for fresh seafood in Taoyuan.

Shops and vendors along Daxi Old Street in Taoyuan

Longtan Lake (龍潭大池) is a focal point of Longtan District, with pedestrian walkways to Nantian Temple (龍潭南天宮) on an island in the middle. Also in Longtan, Window on World (小人國主題樂園) is a theme park with miniature models of famous places around the world. Buy your tickets online here .

Daxi Old Street (大溪老街) is one of Taiwan’s best-known Old Streets. This daytime market with lovely heritage buildings is best visited on weekends. See the “Where to Eat in Taoyuan” section below for the best specialties.

A collection of different colored Chiang Kai-shek statues in a park

Just south of Daxi, Cihu Mausoleum (先總統 / 蔣公陵寢) is the resting place of former dictator Chiang Kai-shek and his son Chiang Ching-kuo.

Next to it, Chiang Kai-shek Statue Park is one of the more bizarre attractions in Taiwan. There, hundreds of CKS statues that once stood across Taiwan are on display. Note that the park is closed for major renos as above mid-2023.

Also nearby, Daxi Blooming Oasis (大溪花海農場) features lovely flower gardens arranged in patterns.

Looking down a huge dam at a water reservoir in Taoyuan

Shimen Reservoir (石門水庫) is one of the largest in Taiwan and provides water for around 3 million people. The Shimen Reservoir Scenic Area (石門水庫風景區) is also a popular attraction among locals. There are paths around it and views of water shooting out from the dam.

Southeast Taoyuan is a wild region of forested mountains. Heading into the area, stop at Daxi Tea Factory (大溪老茶廠) to see an old tea manufacturing facility and buy local teas.

Xiao Wulai Skywalk (小烏來天空步道) has an exciting view suspension bridges and glass viewing platform of Xiao Wulai Waterfall (小烏來瀑布). There are several campgrounds in the area. Nearby, Xikou Suspension Bridge (新溪口吊橋) is another good one.

A long and winding road leads from around here to Dongyanshan National Forest Recreation Area (東眼山國家森林遊樂區). The park features some great hikes, waterfalls, and suspension bridges.

Even deeper in the mountains and further from civilization, Lalashan National Forest Recreation Area (拉拉山國家森林遊樂區) is one of the more remote forest parks in Taiwan, while Sileng Hot Spring (四稜溫泉) is one of the prettiest wild springs in Taiwan.

How to Plan Your Taoyuan Itinerary

Many travelers just make a small stop in Taoyuan on the way to or from Taoyuan International Airport, especially for Xpark Aquarium.

If you’re interested in visiting Shimen Reservoir, Daxi Old Street, and/or Chiang Kai-shek Statue Park , you can do these as a day trip from Taipei. Use GoogleMaps for bus directions to and between them.

If you have or rent a car , consider making the long but rewarding drive from Taoyuan to Yilan county on Highway 7, the Northern Cross Island Highway. Possible stops along the way include Daxi Old Street, Daxi Tea Farm, Xiao Wulai Waterfall, Dongyanshan, Lalashan, and Mingchi (in Yilan).

This is quite a long and winding drive, though, so you won’t be able to visit all of these in one day. Pick and choose a few of the stops, and check the driving times between them carefully.

When you meet Highway 7A (7甲) in Yilan, you can either go left to Luodong & Yilan City, right to drive all the way up to Hehuanshan , or take the road to Taipingshan , yet another great National Forest Recreation Area in Yilan. You may need to spend the night somewhere along the way if driving all the way from Taipei or Taoyuan’s city center.

What to Eat in Taoyuan

There are some fun food options at Taoyuan International Airport , including branches of two Michelin rated restaurants, as well as a restaurant that was featured on Netflix. Click here to see what they are .

Zhongli Night Market is Taoyuan’s largest and best night market. You can try the full gamut of Taiwanese street foods there, like sesame oil chicken (麻油雞 or mayouji ), deep fried chicken fillet (炸雞排 or zha jipai ), and braised foods (滷味 or luwei ).

There’s also the smaller Taoyuan Night Market (桃園觀光夜市) in Taoyuan District.

If you’re looking for something to eat around Taoyuan HSR station and Xpark, try 合點壽司 for yummy conveyor belt sushi choose from among these other restaurants in Gloria Outlets .

A paper bowl containing chunks of tofu, kep, cilantro, chilies, and sauce on Daxi Old Street

One of Taoyuan’s culinary highlights is the chance to try authentic Hakka food. Local expats based in Taichung rave about the Hakka food at the very rustic Papa’s Secret Lover (阿爸的情人) near Zhongli Night Market.

Daxi Old Street (大溪老街) is the best place to try a wide variety of Hakka street foods. Don’t miss the dried tofu (豆乾 or dougan , this shop is especially famous), malted peanut candy (麥芽花生糖, try here or here ), and dessert tofu (豆花 or douhua , try here ).

For fresh seafood, head to Yongan Fishing Market or Zhuwei Fish Harbor on the coast. Vegetarians and vegans see here .

Taoyuan Events

The best place to see cherry blossoms in Taoyuan is Lalashan, especially around Loving Farm Guesthouse . They usually bloom from late February to early March, and are followed by peach blossoms from March to April.

In April and May, tung blossoms (油桐花), which look like snow when falling down from the trees, can be seen in Taoyuan. Try Tonghua Alley , Dakeng Tonghua Trail , or several more locations listed here . Also in April, the Taoyuan Calla Lily Festival usually takes place here .

In summer, there used to be the Taoyuan Hot Air Balloon Festival in June at Shimen Reservoir, but unfortunately the event is no longer taking place from 2023 on. Try the Taitung International Hot Air Balloon Festival in Luye, Taitung county instead.

From late summer to mid-autumn, the Hakka Expo usually takes places in locations across Taoyuan, highlighting aspects of local Hakka culture.

Around Christmas , you can see lots of Christmas lights at Gloria Outlets. On New Year’s Eve , Taoyuan has a fireworks display of its own. In 2022, it was held at Longtan Lake.

As an important transportation hub in Taiwan, Taoyuan is convenient for both land and air transportation. There are highways and railways passing through the county. In addition, there are also many scenic spots and historical sites along the way that are worth visiting.

In general, Taoyuan County is a place with rich natural resources, profound cultural heritage and convenient transportation. It is an ideal destination for both travel and tourism.

Some shops accept CNY.

Best Travel Time

Dressing guidelines.

Taichung has mild winters from December to March, averaging around 18°C. Pack pants, long sleeves and a medium-weight jacket. Summers from May to October are hot and humid, with temperatures steady around 27°C. June to August sees highs around 32°C. Light pants or shorts with short sleeve shirts work well. Bring a thin extra layer like a jacket or sweater for cool evenings or windy days.

On hot sunny days, don't forget a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. Umbrellas help in sudden storms too. Pack clothes that dry quickly if caught in rain. Locals dress casually, so shorts, skirts, t-shirts and sandals are comfortable for exploring Taichung's neighborhoods and markets on foot. Check the forecast to confirm, but packing layers for Taichung's fluctuating conditions ensures you'll stay cool while enjoying all the city has to offer.

Getting Around Taoyuan

Most people who visit Taoyuan ’s city center choose to explore the area on foot. Getting to areas outside the city, however, is easy also. Taxis are a cheap way to travel in Taoyuan , and for Chinese speakers, buses may serve as excellent transportation. Guests traveling to nature reserves and tourist attractions in the outlying parts of the area can hop around on trains, as most of them have stations near the most popular touristy activities. Braver adventurists may want to rent a motor scooter. Those heading to rural areas will want to make sure the tank is full, as fuel stops are harder to come by the further you roam outside the city.

Since getting around Taoyuan is so simple, tourists can’t miss the attractions in city center. These attractions can’t be missed and offer both outdoor activities and modern delights.

  • Zhuwei Fish Harbor – visitors simply must get to the coast during a trip to Taoyuan , and Zhuwei Fish Harbor is the perfect place. The area has been featured in a local television drama, and the rainbow bridge exudes romance. Oh, did we mention the food??? That’s really the reason most people visit Zhuwei Fish Harbor . Guests can watch fishermen haul in their catches and have them cooked up by vendors on the street!

Day 2 Taoyuan Itinerary | Tour Daxi District & Shopping

A trip to Taoyuan wouldn’t be complete without exploring the historic Daxi District , named by the Tourism Bureau of Taiwan in 2012 as one of the country’s Top 10 Small Tourist Towns. The region sits south of Taoyuan city center and offers stunning scenery dotted with historic and modern landmarks. Shopping also is a popular activity in Taoyuan . With so many things to do, it may be tough to squeeze sightseeing and shopping into one day, but with some pre-planning, visitors can see the best of Daxi and make it to town in the evening to pick up some souvenirs.

  • Xiaowulai Skywalk – this glass-bottom suspended walkway spans over a Xiao Wulai Waterfall and is one of the region’s most scenic attractions. Besides the breathtaking walkway, the area features walking trails and scenic views over gorges and mountainous terrain.
  • Chiang Kai-shek Statue Park (Cihu Memorial Sculpture Park) – stroll through more than 150 statues of Chiang Kai-shek, famed politician and military leader. At least 100 of the statues are made of bronze, and besides the monuments, the park is filled with walking paths, historic buildings and a beautiful stream.
  • Daxi Old Street – once the center of trade in Taoyuan , Daxi Old Street now is regarded as one of the best places to get to know locals and admire the architecture left over from Japanese occupation. Incredible street food is another huge draw to Daxi Old Street .

  • Metro Walk Shopping Center – for a one-stop shopping experience that even includes an amusement park, Metro Walk Shopping Center is the place to go! This upscale mall has everything from electronics stores to a supermarket.

Travel Information About Taoyuan County

Taoyuan County is arguably most famous for housing Taiwan’s largest airport (Taoyuan International Airport), which is where most people fly into from abroad.

Book your hotel in Taoyuan today and get discounts!

Taoyuan County isn’t the hottest touristic destination in Taiwan, but there’s more than enough to see for a day or two. It’s a decent place to get some South Asian cuisine, especially in  Zhongli City , where immigrants from that region commonly come to  Formosa  to make a living.

taiwanese girl

Rendered in English, Taoyuan means “peach blossom garden”, though the flowers are no longer grown there. Because many foreign travelers and businessmen get stranded in Taoyuan from time to time, there’s a surprising number of foreigner-friendly and more refined cafes and restaurants, shopping and department stores; there’s even an IKEA!

Excursions a bit outside of Taoyuan City make things more interesting, such as  bungee jumping  in Fuxing Township or getting custom-made fish at Shimen Dam (all of these locations are reachable via train).

Taoyuan County Attractions

Things to do in taoyuan city.

ZhongZheng Road Shopping Taoyuan claims to have the first shopping mall ever built in Taiwan, but I’m not sure who to believe on that one. Anyway, starting from Taoyuan’s railway station is the ZhongZheng Road Commercial District, with a distinctly modern feel, packed with department stores, high-end shopping, coffee and tea stops, boutique shopping and more. The district stays lively until late into the night, and is a great stop for the commercial-minded.

Taoyuan County

Bungee Jumping The surprisingly respectable Taiwan Bungee Jumping Club operates out of Taoyuan County, and the experience can be yours as well. Lush green surroundings make Taoyuan an ideal place to feel as though you’re jumping to your doom only to be whisked back up in a fit of elasticity.

To organize a jump, contact the club; their website is  http://bungy.com.tw/ . The site is all in Chinese, but if you give them a call they’ll be able to help you find an English-speaker. The jumps usually take place in Fuxing Township, deep in the middle of the mountains.

Shimen Reservoir A dam-cum-theme park is Shimen Reservoir, also in Taoyuan County. It’s a massive food-control and water supply dam. Around the area, besides checking out the natural beauty of the dammed area itself, there are gardens and food stands where you get to pick how they cook the fish straight out of the lake. There is also a three kilometer bike path, which is a great way to take in the scenery.

old chinese door

Getting Around Taoyuan City / County

Bumming around the downtown area of Taoyuan City is easily done  on foot . If you need to make it across town for other attractions,  taxis  are really cheap.  Buses  are available and fairly comprehensive, but difficult to navigate if your Chinese skills aren’t up to par. Making it to places outside the city are best done on Taiwan’s efficient  trains , which stop in nearly every city and township.

My favorite way to travel in the mountains of Taoyuan County is by  scooter or motorbike . You can go wherever you want, whenever you want. Make sure you always have some petrol in your tank as there aren’t that many gas stations outside the big cities and towns. If you ride at night in the mountains, be extra careful – many Taiwanese ride/drive under the influence in those parts. You can  rent a scooter  for as little as 350NT$ per day around Taoyuan Train Station.

Eating in Taoyuan

Shimen Fish The Shimen Reservoir (mentioned above) is supposed to be home to elusive fish that have grown stronger and meatier after the dam transformed their habitat from river to lake. The local chefs are famous for employing a wide range of cooking methods to give the fish distinctive tastes.

I once bought a fish by the side of the road near the dam and barbecued it at my campground and it was…  totally disgusting  – a real mess! I don’t know what I did wrong but the thing was so water and just tasted like… dead fish! I had another try at it a year later (this time at a restaurant) and it was delicious and tender!

Secret Garden Breeze Cafe Stylized as a Mediterranean coffee house, the Secret Garden serves up coffee and European dishes near the ZhongZheng Road Commercial District. No. 92, Section 1, Sanmin Road, Taoyuan City

Feebie’s Pizza Feebie’s has a wonderful atmosphere, a bar with a decent selection of drinks, karaoke (KTV), delicious pizza, calzones, nachos, chicken wings, caesar chicken wraps, and tons of other western foods. 155 ZhongHua Rd., Taoyuan City, Taiwan 

Taoyuan Tourist Night Market Nearly every decent-sized city in Taiwan has a night market, and Taoyuan is no exception. Night markets remain the best option for a wide sampling of Taiwanese cuisine, and the Hakka aboriginal people of Taoyuan will provide some interesting twists on the canon of edibles. BeiBu Rd. between ZhenKang 1st and ZhenKang 2nd Streets

Restaurants around ZhongZheng Road District This district has plenty or Taiwanese / Chinese restaurants. It’s one of the best places to go for a late night snack or drink in Taoyuan City.

chinese man portrait

Taoyuan Nightlife

As a tourist, one of the best things to do at night in Taoyuan is to  walk aimlessly around ZhongZheng Road District  near the train station. If you feel like having a (very) cheap drink, don’t be shy to get yourself a beer at a 7-11 and drink it right outside. (They usually have patio tables set up on the sidewalk for that purpose.) This area of Taoyuan City has many restaurants where alcohol is sold. Expect to pay around 80NT$ for a big Taiwan Beer.

Another cool spot to have a bite or drink at night is the  Taoyuan Tourist Night Market .

If you’re looking for bars, lounges, nightclubs, discos, you’d better head for Taipei City.  Read more about  Taipei’s nightlife  here .

Accommodation in Taoyuan

Visit their site to check room rates and availability, make a reservation or look at the exact location of each hotel on a nice Google map. Hotels Combined also offers hotel discounts sometimes.

The Yorker Hotel  –  From 3600NT$  ( Don’t know how many stars ) A hip (or trying to be, at least) boutique hotel in Taoyuan with rooms starting at NT$3,600 for the night. It’s relatively close to the train station and right in the commercial district. No. 58, TaiShan Street, Taoyuan City

See 3 more boutique hotels in Taoyuan here .

Taoyuan Transportation

The  Taiwan Railway Association (TRA) trains  will be the cheapest and most convenient option, especially if you’re looking to stop at surrounding towns. Taoyuan also has tons of  buses  running to and from Taipei as it’s only an hour or so away. The train station and airport are full of companies operating these.

Furthermore, Taoyuan has a stop along the  Taiwan High-Speed Rail   (HSR) network , which gets you to your destination fast. However, the HSR station is a bit far from the city center.
