By / Travel writer Rita

Waking up to blue skies and white clouds, I really didn’t want to stay in the office anymore. I decided to drop everything and go on a 399 NTD one-day Tamsui-Xinyi Line trip with friends. You can have a little girls’ getaway in Taipei without spending a fortune—it’s delicious, fun, and super photogenic. Our editor Rita is sharing her exclusive itinerary—don’t miss out if you don’t want to regret it.

Of course, the first thing in the morning is breakfast to recharge for the day. A great day starts with a delicious and Instagram-worthy breakfast. Tsao Zao Shop, a favorite among Tamsui students, offers a “Sicilian Chicken + Cheese” set for just 75 NTD. The overflowing cheese eggs totally won our hearts.

“Tamsui Riverside – Golden Waterfront”
How could wemiss out on the must-photograph riverside views of Tamsui? Every time we come here to take photos, we get different results. This time, we chose to come during the blue skies and white clouds and took some incredibly satisfying shots. The deep blue sky and blue Tamsui River made the photos look as expansive as the seaside—absolutely stunning.

Second stop — Xinbeitou Station
Total fare: 28 NTD 

“Beitou Library”
The entire Beitou Library, built entirely of wood, has a very distinctive look in photos. It’s a true “green building,” combining beauty with eco-friendly design. So, when visiting Xinbeitou, you definitely can’t miss this gorgeous spot. We really think it’s super photogenic, with a fairy-tale vibe and perfect lighting. You can also go inside to enjoy the bookish atmosphere.
