A Taipei family activity at Suiye Farm where the kids learned about chickens, mixed feed, fed hens, picked eggs, and met retired horses.

Even during the pandemic, we wanted to keep one meaningful zhua zhou first-birthday picking ritual for our daughter, so we chose Radium Kagaya in Beitou for a banquet, the issho mochi tradition, and adorable tiger-costume photos.

Our first overnight trip with our daughter in Taipei, staying at Radium Kagaya International Hotel in Beitou for a Japanese-style room, private hot spring, and dinner at the hotel.
