Shilin District

Busy Shilin District is home to the National Palace Museum, with its collection of Chinese prints and fine art. Chiang Kai-Shek Residence, the estate of the former president, displays floral paintings by his wife and has a serene garden. There are upscale eateries and boutiques along Zhongshan North Road, while Shilin Night Market brims with clothing vendors and food stalls selling stinky tofu and oyster omelettes.
