By the MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

Taiwan has many fantasy-style scenic spots, including installation art and architecture. Their unique designs create an illusion of stepping into a movie or animated scene. Amid a busy life, why not take some time to escape reality?

1. #Taoyuan Agricultural Expo
The Taoyuan Agricultural Expo, themed “Play in Taoyuan. Savor the Expo,” features six major themed zones and over 25 exhibition halls, including smart technology, specialty industries, and cultural and creative arts, connected with surrounding highlights to offer a fun and photogenic agricultural showcase.
 
Dates: April 4 to May 13
Address: Intersection of Section 3, Wenhua Rd., and Section 2, Dongxing Rd., Xinyi District (next to Xinyi Weather Station)

2. #Chaojing Park
From the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology to Chaojing Park, there are more than 10 installation artworks to photograph, along with breathtaking aerial views of the blue sea, making it a popular spot for photos. Among them, the 2016 "Broom Savior," conceived by a French artist and resembling a magical broom like in Harry Potter, still attracts many visitors for photos. 

Address: Lane 369, Beining Rd., Zhongzheng District, Keelung City

3. #Buddha’s World
This pointed castle sits within Buddha’s World. Originally part of a fairy tale theme park, it was later abandoned and now serves as Taiwan’s most unique private meditation site. The sky-blue pointed tower resembles a Disney princess’s residence. Though weathered over time, it remains charming. 

Address: No. 23, Dazhukeng, Dongshan Li, Guanxi Township, Hsinchu County
Hours: Saturdays and Sundays, 08:00 – 17:00

4. #Seed Planet
“Seed Planet Comes to Visit” is an eco-friendly artwork made primarily from driftwood, shaped like a wooden planet. Supported by six main steel frames and sturdy crossbars, the sphere appears to float mid-air, drawing many visitors for photos. 

Address: No. 191, Section 3, Xinhu Rd., Baoshan Township, Hsinchu County
