Prior to lunch, we visited the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park (松山文創園區) to see some of the exhibitions. It was a old tobacco factory and now a exhibitions hall for all sort of creative products developed by locals and world famous artists and inventors. A lot of products as the results of innovated ideas to improve the everyday life were on display. It was an eye open experience to us and we enjoyed it very much.
Then we had lunch at 頂好名店城B1的紫琳蒸餃 as recommended by Caroline. Their vegetable dumpling was one of the best we had in Taipei.
Then we went to Shilin to visit Chiang Kai-shek's Shilin Official Residence (士林官邸). With the current political status in Taiwan, we were not sure how long this historical attraction will be in existing, therefore we made a special effort to visit it while it is still there. We witnessed that Chiang Kai-shek lived a very simple and routine live without luxury decoration in his residence. It makes us even more admiring him and his wife. There is a beautiful garden next to their residence. Now it is a public park now with a lot of people stalking in it and enjoying it.
