I suppose visiting the Grand Hotel is good for a laugh.
In my humble opinion, any list that excludes Maokong and its wonderful tea houses is seriously flawed.
Also a belated shoutout to @quandary 's thoughtful list posted aboveālots of good options there!

Thereās the underground tunnel tour thatās pretty cool.

They need to make it clear that these are āpersonal favoriteā attractions submitted by netizens, not THE official top 20 attractions. No wonder Iāve never heard of some of them.

Yes I could see the Cold War tourism part potentially appealing, especially in conjuction with the ludicrous faux palace architecture of the hotel itself.
