See
- Bishan Temple is the largest Taoist temple in Neihu. Located on a mountainside to the north of downtown Neihu, it offers spectacular views of Taipei on a clear day. It is possible to spend the night here for a donation. Nearby are other interesting Buddhist and Taoist temples.
- Dahu Park is a popular area for recreation. It boasts a large lake with a famous Chinese-style arched bridge. There is a swimming pool here too, and people often hike up Egret Mountain, adjacent to the lake, for exercise.
[edit]
Do
Hiking is possible in the mountainous northern part of the district. A network of trails covers the area. Some trailheads can be found near Bishan Temple. It's a good area for summer hiking because the microclimate in the mountains here tends to be cooler and less humid than in other areas of Taipei.

Buy
Neihu is home to major warehouse retailers, such as CostCo, Carrefour, RT-Mart and B&Q.
