Purchasing the ticket in advance certainly did save us some time. It was a rainy day so the museum was packed with other tourists and tour groups and we were able to bypass the queue. Definitely worth a visit when in Taipei - beautiful exhibits and rich history.

Highlights

  • Explore one of the world's most popular museums at your own pace
  • See masterpieces of ancient Chinese artifacts covering 8000 years and multiple dynasties
  • Enter the National Palace Museum without the fuss of lines
  • Enjoy the ancient Chinese garden - Zhishan Garden nearby

Full description

Take a stirring journey through art and Chinese cultural history with your skip-the-line ticket to the National Palace Museum. Skip the hassle of long lines and enjoy your visit at your own pace as you wander through the 690,000 objects in the museum’s exquisite collection.

Tiptoe through the three major town halls to see famous carving dubbed the Jadeite Cabbage, a masterful combination of the various natural colors of jade to recreate the color variations of a real head of cabbage. Learn about the Mao Gong Ding, which has inscriptions dating back to 2800 years ago and is considered to be one of the most valuable extant Chinese artifacts. Marvel at books and scrolls that date back to the 10th century, representing an invaluable swathe of Chinese history.

After enjoying the treasures of the National Palace Museum, take a look at the Zhishan Garden nearby. Based on traditional Chinese garden-building techniques, and filled with a literary atmosphere, some describe the Chinese garden as a euphemistic poem or a long unfolding landscape painting. You could find yourself emerge in the wonderful environment that you just admired in the ancient paintings you just see in the museum.

  • Use of reserved-priority entrance queue (National Palace Museum Ticket North Branch option)

It was quite crowded on the day we visited- on a Friday of a 3-day holiday weekend. Having the VIP ticket saved us about 15 minutes of waiting in line to purchase entry tickets. Trying to have lunch on the property was also quite crowded- we opted to eat in the fine dining restaurant in a separate building. It had excellent food! I would recommend spending the money on an audio guide to use during your visit.
