Zhongshan District

Busy Zhongshan District is home to the landmark Grand Hotel and Taipei Fine Arts Museum, with its modern Taiwanese works. Hsing Tian Kong, a temple honoring Guan Yu, God of War, has a roof adorned with dragons. There are hipster bars and glitzy karaoke spots around Zhongshan Station, plus Japanese-style pubs, or izakayas, on Linsen North Road. Fine Japanese eateries join chic designer shops on Zhongshan North Road.
