Taipei 101
The observatory is ticketed; the mall does not require going up. Rain moves you indoors. If you already climbed Elephant Mountain, do not also go up.

Xinyi
Keep one dusk between 101 and Elephant Mountain. Do not finish Songshan or Nangang on the same day as the Xinyi department stores.

Xinyi shopping district
The department-store belt between City Hall and the World Trade Center. Enter two buildings — leave the third for another trip.

ATT 4 FUN
The mall beside 101. A supply stop — not a second shopping axis.

Taipei City Hall
Citizens' Plaza and the lantern season. On a normal day it is a pass-through; linger for the lanterns.

Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall
The hall and the outer park. One guard change if you want it. Monday indoor closures follow the site.

Four Four South Village
A military-village lane, rebuilt. Walkable from 101. One coffee, then stop.

Elephant Mountain
Short stone steps, crowded, and the view includes 101. Dusk stays here or at the observatory. Wet stone means the indoor observatory instead.

Xiangshan trail
The ridge from Elephant Mountain toward Nangang Mountain. Add it only if your legs agree — not the full Four Beasts traverse.

Tonghua Street Night Market
Linjiang Street night market. Dinner on the Xinyi day — do not also queue Raohe.

Din Tai Fung Xinyi
Xiaolongbao on the Xinyi Road side of the 101 mall. The queue is the meal. Editorial sample, not a star verdict.
