Looks like you had a good trip! Any hot tips for Pangolin in Taipei (or any other hot tips for Taipei?). We’ll only really be in the city
ReplyDeletePangolins, no. Our guide said they are hard to find because they are rare, nocturnal and mostly live to the south of the island.
DeleteHeping Park was my favorite place to bird in the city - it's fairly small, but there is a big fig tree in the middle of it that attracts a ton of birds. (https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZqqnAQWU6zXZM3yg8). Also the Botanic Garden is pretty good.
As a bonus, Kapok Vegetarian Restaurant (https://maps.app.goo.gl/ghQAvZzUv7ts83hH7) is really good and right across the street.
