  2. The combination of warm lights and desk lamps suits long stretches of focused work or study, while the semi-outdoor seating is a smoking area; if you want to avoid smoke, choose an indoor seat.

    黃光燈與檯燈的搭配,適合長時間專注工作或讀書,而半露天座位則提供可抽菸區域,想要避開煙味的話建議選擇室內座位。

  3. Definitely check out GonnaEAT - it’s a cafe with food with lots of space and seating, not cramped like most cafes. Two locations with an English menu. Also good wifi.

  4. What I love about this is the outdoor area, the best area to work in when it's not raining in Taipei

  5. Koo Chen-Fu Memorial Library is a public library in Taipei designed by Japanese architect Toyo Ito. The building is architecturally striking with fluid forms, soft curves, and natural light that create a calm, peaceful atmosphere.
