By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Department, compiled and reported

The updated 《Taipei Pass Taipei Tourism Passport》 Tours and Discounts Shops Handbook carefully plans out nine major theme routes. In addition to highlighting six routes in Taipei City, it also offers three new routes that combine attractions in New Taipei City and Keelung City. In line with the 2017 Universiade, it includes information about Universiade venues, and selects a hundred discounted shops offering great deals, such as 20% off when buying two items at well-known sports stores, free bottle openers, free Taipei Sweetheart desserts for taking photos at bakeries, and free hydrangea tea at special tea houses. There are plenty of attractive perks.

Through these nine classic routes, deeply experience Taipei—a city where old and new blend, creativity meets tradition, and nature's greenery coexists with the modern urban landscape. This time, the convenient transportation network is also used to connect the Greater Taipei area including New Taipei City and Keelung City. Whether you’re into cultural heritage, breathtaking mountains and seas, or limitless gourmet experiences, it’s definitely worth every penny and will make you want to visit again and again.

Travelers can also access the Chinese, English, and Japanese e-book versions through the “Taipei Pass Taipei Tourism Passport” page on the Taipei Tourism official website. The webpage integrates Google Maps search and categorizes all discounted shops by sports goods, food, accommodation, tours, and shopping. It also supports offline map downloads and LBS-based mobile positioning services, allowing travelers to easily search via the mobile or desktop web version.
