Places to Visit in Taipei + The Wow Taiwan Exhibit in Manila

Taiwan extended visa-free entry until July 31, 2020 so many Filipinos can still visit and discover the country. Remembering my first trip to Taipei, Taiwan sometime in November of 2018. Our 7 days itinerary in Taiwan gave us the chance to visit major tourist spots in Taipei and day tours outside city such as the Pingling tea plantation, Jiufen, and the Nanya Rock Formation.

Despite the frequent rain shower and cold weather, still we were able to visit the famous Chiang Kai Shek Memorial, a lot of historical sites and landmarks including various temples in Taipei. Thanks to Free Walking Tour in Taipei, it was insightful and interesting.

Food is another must-try when in Taiwan. We enjoyed Taiwan's street food and milk tea from different shops. One of my favorites is the Taiwanese misua served with black sauce. In this photo below is an old ice cream shop which was part of the Cultural Heritage Tour lead by Free Walking Tour.

I hope to be back in Taiwan soon. I am also hoping these products featured in the Wow Taiwan exhibit will be available in the Philippine market. I will definitely try the Carnation Sanitary Napkin Ultra Thin-Blessing Charm Wing. It passed the cytotoxicity and skin sensitivity test by Interk. It has inorganic nano silver element, instant absorbency, dry and antimicrobial. The Yumark OEM Bas are also cute. O'day crackers and Master Mi for kids. Hubby was interested with the FECA Suction Hook.

Congratulations to Wow Taiwan! I'm looking forward to trying these new products.
