Traveler reviews
Merve Shen
★★★★★5 months agoIt’s right in the middle of the city, but the moment you walk in, everything feels calm and peaceful. There are huge green lawns, tall palm trees, and a beautiful lake in the center. You’ll see people jogging, doing tai chi, playing music, or just lying on the grass enjoying the sunshine. It feels very local and relaxed. I was actually so lucky because I visited during sakura season 🌸 The cherry blossoms were in bloom, and the soft pink flowers made the whole park feel extra magical. It was one of those simple, unexpected travel moments that make a trip really special. What I also love is how kid-friendly this park is. There’s a sand play area with a washing station right next to it — which is super convenient. There’s also a basketball court and a skating area, so it’s perfect whether you want to relax, exercise, or bring your family for the afternoon. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, grab a bubble tea, sit under the trees, and just enjoy Taipei at your own pace. Follow me, and let’s explore Taipei together 🌿✨

★★★★★4 months agoI have been to Taiwan many times, but this was my first visit to Daan Forest Park. I was surprised how spacious and relaxing it is. There’s so much to see, and it feels like a peaceful escape right in the middle of the city. We visited on a beautiful morning in mid-March, and the weather was perfect. It’s a great spot for family or friends gathering for a small picnic. Walking around the park, we passed ponds, greenery everywhere, and at times it honestly felt like walking through a rainforest. Definitely worth a visit if you want a quiet break from the busy Taipei streets.
