Today in Taiwan, the birth of all children is cause for celebration. Yet it was not that long ago when attention was only given to male offspring. At that time, various trinkets were placed on a table and whatever Baby touched first determined his future. Sample several kinds of flavored teas, or special tea meals and snacks. Interiors are inviting, and the atmosphere is congenial.
Tea houses are favorite meeting spots for discussion groups, mah jong games or just quiet reading.
Reading Garden Tea House , located near the Science Museum in Sanmin District, organizes periodic exhibits and musical performances. Craft items are always on sale. Secluded tables overlook a sheltered courtyard pond where children can feed the fish. Relax on the floor or sit at the table side. You can observe traditional methods used to make hanging scrolls at local framing shops.
