Luzhou District蘆洲區
Spend a half‑day to see the night market and a temple; a full day adds the park, museum and MRT walk – one day is enough.
Luzhou is a densely populated New Taipei district with easy MRT access, a lively night market, several temples and a riverside park. One day covers the main sights; add a second if you prefer a relaxed pace or want to explore nearby Taipei.

Rules in force · 5
- East Asia ↗Every border in East Asia is a full international border, Hong Kong and Macau included: an entry permission for one never covers the next.
- East Asia ↗Ferries between Korea, Japan and China cancel in rough seas and typhoons; keep a flight or a spare day behind every sea leg.
- Taiwan ↗Check visa-exemption length, passport validity and the online arrival card (TWAC) on the official sites before you fly.
- Taiwan ↗An EasyCard (or iPASS) covers MRT, buses, local trains and many convenience-store purchases; buy one at the airport or a station.
- Taiwan ↗When a local government declares a typhoon day, transport and sights can close for the day; follow the official notice, not the forecast alone.
