Why go
Yingge is Taiwan’s ceramics town: shops, kilns, and a long tradition of pottery culture. The museum gives you context and a curated view, while the surrounding streets give you the treasure-hunt fun.
If your Taipei trip has been heavy on food and monuments, a craft day is a refreshing change of texture.
How to make it a great day trip
Keep the pace light: one main museum visit, then a slow browse on the old street. The best souvenirs come when you don’t rush—choose one piece you’ll actually use at home.
- Start with the museum, then shop with context
- Set a ‘one great piece’ souvenir goal
- Plan a café break so the day feels spacious
Pairing: Yingge Old Street
Yingge Old Street is where the day becomes tactile: cups, bowls, glaze colors, and the small joy of choosing something that will live in your kitchen.
