Why this order

Start with Taiwanese people fighting for a voice, then take your own conversation to the river. At dinner, choose a stall each. Compatibility can begin with the coriander question.

Your afternoon and evening

15:00–16:15 museum; 16:40–17:30 riverside; 18:00–19:30 dinner. About 4½ hours and 2 km walking.

Start from Daqiaotou MRT; finish towards Shuanglian MRT. Bring a light layer for the river.
