The content is very rich and exquisite. **Fare Information:** - Free admission for Taiwanese student ID holders. - The ticket price for international student ID holders is NT150. -Adult ticket is NT350.

It was very exciting, especially for the unique cultural relics and market price predictions of the National Palace Museum in Taipei. estimate. In addition, there is an electronic tour guide available for rent for NT150, which allows you to learn more about the stories behind the cultural relics.

This experience of visiting the National Palace Museum in Taipei made me feel like I was in dialogue with history across thousands of years. When I was in high school, my teacher in the history class mentioned many times that certain cultural relics are now hidden in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. At that time, I hoped to have the opportunity to see them with my own eyes. Now, my wish has finally come true and I am deeply fascinated by this visit. Time seems to be no longer a specific concept here!
