Start your day with a Banqiao march and brunch with the Three Little Pigs

Banqiao City, home to the Taipei County Government, was once known for the classic charm of the Lin Family Garden and the bustling pastry street. Nowadays, Banqiao is a blend of youthful energy from Harajuku-style shopping districts, the cultural elegance of the 435 Art Zone, and also a major transportation hub with integrated rail services. Cross the Huajiang Bridge, and you'll find that Banqiao’s food scene is not to be underestimated—the stylish restaurants under the bamboo shoot lamps in the county government square are where new dining trends begin; the hot pot flagship stores stretching from Wenhua Road and County People’s Boulevard all the way to Chongqing Road have become the hottest winter hot pot district; and venturing into the streets and alleys, local markets and night markets are the best places to savor the true flavors of Banqiao.

To experience a different side of Banqiao, the rising trend of European-style elegant brunches is the perfect way to slow down and enjoy a relaxing atmosphere. For the afternoon, embark on a refined coffee journey, discovering a new culinary Banqiao amid a travel-themed ambiance. The “Three Little Pigs Brunch,” located near Banqiao’s back-station shopping area, offers a wide variety of dishes with an emphasis on fresh ingredients. Not only is the name adorable, but the interior is also warm and charming. The blend of pink and lemon-yellow hues, paired with the friendly smile of the owner—affectionately known as “Pig Sister”—makes you feel like you’re in a friend’s living room: completely relaxed and stress-free.

Without overshadowing the vibrancy of new culinary creations, the classical elegance of Banqiao continues to shine in a quiet corner of the city. A single pond, a single scene, a single window at the Lin Family Garden never fails to captivate visitors. The grand halls and ancestral temples in the neighborhood whisper stories of the past. This poetic elegance still lingers in the area, quietly radiating timeless charm. Strolling through such a place, feeling the harmony between old and new, makes one deeply appreciate life’s richness and vitality. In the newly published “Banqiao March” magazine, you’ll discover a more comprehensive and unique side of Banqiao’s new charm.

When visiting Banqiao, you can start your memories with impressions of greenery. Step into the Wanping Metropolitan Park in front of Banqiao Station, and it’s like entering a lush forest park—every breath you take is fresh. Visit the culturally rich 435 Art Zone, exploring creative cultural exhibitions and performances among white pebbles and historic buildings. Or simply relax—hop on a bike and cruise along the NS Creek bicycle path or the riverside park’s outer bank, feeling a gentle breeze at 20 km/h.
