Another local gem is the Taiwan Toy Museum, which houses over ten thousand toys that connect generations through shared childhood memories. Also in the vicinity is the Crescent Bridge, a pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly landmark spanning Banqiao and Xinzhuang. With its spacious deck and wide-open views, it is a perfect spot for strolling, cycling, sunset watching, or taking in the dazzling nightscape.
The “Banqiao Broadcasting Station,” located near the New Taipei City Hall, was once one of the five major broadcasting facilities in Taiwan. Today, the historic site has been revitalized into a vibrant arts and cultural hub, now home to various theaters and performance troupes. It has transformed into a new venue promoting literature, aesthetics, family-friendly activities, lifelong leisure, and dining services.
Located in Fuzhong, the “The Lin Family Mansion and Garden” is the most well-preserved traditional garden architecture in Taiwan.
