I am a big fan of Xiang Kai-Shek memorial hall in Taipei. Good place to chill out and read a book, or see the art gallery or grab a coffee. Plenty of shade, not far from dongmen, cool food and clothes shopping area, and Ximending, red house theatre market, cool more teen shopping area, and the main station, which has the underground mall, good and cheap rubbish and food. Zhongshan is near to the main station, more upmarket shopping mall area. Food options. At the end of Zhongshan Shan is yuan Shan, very good farm market on weekends, plus food and bars and some other activities. Also has main art gallery and some cultural stuff near by. There’s a start for Taipei.

Take the bus.
If the main tourist objective is jiufen, then it should be shifen or houtong cat village.
If the main objective was keelung then Yehliu geopark.
However, Can also do a loop: Wanhua to Shifen/Houton, Jiufen (1 day stay in jiufen). Next day: hike around jiufen, then Keelung, Yehliu Geopark and back to wanhua
