If you fancy a good walk while seeing numerous animals from around the world then the Taipei Zoo is the attraction to visit. Open throughout the year, the zoo is both inspirational and educational and there is plenty to see and do regardless of age. The zoo grounds are spread over a large area though so we recommend taking a good pair of shoes and maybe even a picnic.
