Take your Taipei trip off the beaten path. These activities are mostly outside Taipei but are easy to get to. Houtong Cat Village is a haven for cats and cat-themed shops. Shifen Old Street invites you to write wishes on a paper lantern and release it into the sky. Shifen Waterfall is breathtaking. And Huaxi Street Night Market (Snake Alley) is an authentic night market — and the place to try eating snake.

Cats have taken over the town of Houtong! Seriously. Hundreds of stray cats roam here among the cat-themed cafes and shops. Meow!

Stroll through nature (and cool bridges) to reach this beautiful, wide waterfall. On sunny days, you often get a rainbow too.

Taiwan Coal Mine Museum
Step back in time and see what Taiwan's old coal industry was all about. Try the mine shaft simulation to really walk in miners' shoes.
