Now, you don’t have to go abroad to see them – you can find them in Taiwan.

1. Taipei – #Taipei Expo Park
Located within the Taipei Expo Park’s Fine Arts Area, there are two miniature glass pyramids, one large and one small, standing in a row along the pathway. Made of glass curtains and aqua-blue steel frames, they emit a faint blue glow under sunlight. With airplanes flying overhead, the combination of these elements has made this spot a popular IG photo location.

Located in Zhulin, New Taipei, the Pearl Ridge Humanistic Kitchen was once a forest theme park. After the park closed, only some ruins and the restaurant remained.
