As summer winds down but the heat remains relentless, we’ve rounded up four of New Taipei City’s coolest and most popular destinations for beating the heat, featuring refreshing attractions and delicious ice shops. Whether you’re heading to the mountains or the sea, exploring the outdoors or staying indoors, all your go-to spots for staying cool are right here.

Taiwan’s Northeast Coast boasts a wealth of dramatic landscapes, including sea erosion platforms, capes and bays, and sandy beaches. Nearby, there are also many historic buildings worth visiting—imagine cycling through a century-old tunnel and feeling as if you've stepped back in time. After your ride, refuel with some energy; in Fulong, you can’t miss the local specialty “Shi Hua Dong (agar jelly),” and the shaved ice at Fulong Shang Qing Ice Treats includes Shi Hua Dong, making it even more refreshing and cooling.

Asahi Couple Ice Shop

A unique blend of history, culture, and architecture has created Taiwan’s one-of-a-kind scenery. Near Tamsui, you can see many traces of history. The Spanish-built Fort San Domingo, along with the nearby Hobe Fort, was established during the Qing Dynasty but served as a military stronghold even back in the Spanish colonial period.

Nearby, there’s also a traditional Japanese house that was relocated here—the One Drop Pavilion. As for why it was so meticulously moved, there’s a deeply touching story behind it. Also from Japan is this couple-run ice shop, Asahi Couple, where a young couple who lived in Okinawa brought back authentic Okinawan-style ice flavors to their hometown. Their beautifully presented and generously filled treats have quickly become a hot online-favorite ice shop.

Mr. Snow Fu near Sihao Park serves delicious and Instagram-worthy snowflake ice.

Located at the intersection of Zhonghe and Yonghe, the 823 Memorial Park (also known as Sihao Park) has long been a popular spot for locals to relax and take walks. Looking to escape the scorching midday sun? The National Taiwan Library nestled within the park is the perfect retreat. After your library visit, check out the nearby Snow Fruit Ice, which makes snowflake ice using fresh fruit ice blocks—perfect for enjoying in the summer without any guilt.

Point・Ice Room JabIn

If you only have a short half-day, there are plenty of cooling spots near metro stations. Within a 10-minute walk around Jiangzicui Station in Banqiao, you’ll find several great summer destinations. Point・Ice Room JabIn, located near Jiangcui Junior High School, is a recently Instagram-viral photo spot that serves authentic Japanese-style shaved ice.
