Where to have a picnic in Taipei
Blessed with many parks and scenic outdoor areas, Taipei is an ideal place for a springtime picnic. One must-go spot is Da’an Forest Park (Sect. 1, Da’an Rd., Da’an). A stone’s throw away from popular tourist destination Yongkang Street where you can stock up on all kinds of tasty treats, Da’an Forest Park located by the MRT station on the Red Line of the same name, has wide expanses of grass and plenty of trees for shade, which makes it a perfect spot to unroll your picnic blanket and enjoy some time outdoors.

Taipei Expo Park (No. 105, Sect. 3, Xinsheng North Rd., Zhongshan) is another great picnic spot. Built originally for a flora exhibition, there is plenty of lawn space for picnics and games. On weekends, the parks is also home to various market stalls which you can peruse at your leisure.

Dajia Riverside Park in Zhongzheng district (take a bus to Dajia Elementary School or Dajia Riverside Park) is home to expanses of green space and also bicycle paths down by the river, making it an idyllic picnic location on a nice spring day.

The Grand Green (No. 27, Linsen North Rd., Zhongshan), found near Huashan 1914 Creative Park is a popular spot with tourists and also lends itself to be a more than adequate spot for an afternoon picnic, while if you want to go all out, head to Yangmingshan National Park, specifically the Qingtianggang grassland (No. 246, Ln. 101, Jingshan Rd., Shilin) and lay your blanket down in the grass and watch the cattle graze around you while you eat. If you go in early spring, you may also be able to see some of the cherry blossom trees around the Yangmingshan area, resplendent in pink, making for beautiful photographs.

What to eat and drink at a picnic in Taipei?
We all know the usual picnic staples are sandwiches, cakes, fruit etc., but since you’re in Taiwan, you should put a local spin on it. We’re talking xiansuji (Taiwanese fried chicken, 鹹酥雞), Guabao (Taiwanese Burger, 刈包) and bubble tea (珍珠奶茶). Most restaurants in Taipei allow you to takeaway so get a portion of your favorite local staple and take it down to the park and enjoy with the spring weather.

What to pack for a Taipei picnic?
Obviously, you need the basics: a picnic blanket and a hamper/basket are a must. But, also remember, you’re in Taipei, so you’re gonna need sunscreen and bug spray or your afternoon’s going to be pretty uncomfortable. Also, and we can’t stress this enough, please bring a trash bag or some means of disposing your leftovers and packaging. If you’re going to enjoy one of Taipei’s wonderful parks or outdoor spots, the least you can do is respect the environment and pick up after yourself when you leave.

At first, many customers may have asked themselves, “Is it legal to buy CBD Gummies in the UK?” The answer is an absolute yes. The UN WHO (World Health Organisation) has stated that products containing under 0.2 THC should be distributed freely. Regulators in the UK have not classified CBD as a food, cosmetic, or medicinal, indicating that it can be bought and sold without issue. The hemp used to create these tasty treats are all grown in Colorado, a state notorious for its legal cannabis and hemp cultivation. These premium plants are held to the high standards of the CO state regulations. The plant material is processed and infused into our premium products in GMP facilities that produce food-grade products. The importation of these hemp products is legal, while the extraction of cannabinoids from any hemp plant is still not allowed in the UK. Although the nation is turning to other sources to procure its medicinal cannabis and hemp supply, there will be a wait before we can cultivate our own UK grown plants. In the meantime, we choose farmers who uphold the best organic and sustainable hemp farming practices.
The rate of uptake for CBD varies, depending on a few factors, such as age, weight, metabolism, and the type of product you use. CBD gummies have medium absorption, meaning they are typically felt after 20-30 minutes. Each person reacts differently to CBD, so you may find it can take shorter or longer for the CBD to be absorbed into your system.We recommend up to 3 gummies per day for the 300mg regular strength jar or 2 gummies per day for the 900mg high strength jar. Depending on the strength you choose, you can expect the following doses per gummy:Regular Strength CBD Gummies, 300mg: each CBD Gummy is 10mg CBD.High Strength CBD Gummies, 900mg: each CBD Gummy is 30mg CBD.Our CBD Gummies can be enjoyed alone or they’re great to mix and match with our CBD Oils and CBD Capsules.We know our gummies taste delicious and it would be easy to eat the whole tub in one go, but it is important you limit yourself to make sure you do not take too much CBD. We recommend taking no more than 70mg a day.We recommend ‘starting low and going slow’ initially to test your body’s tolerance. Once you are comfortable with taking CBD, you can work your way up to higher doses if needed. Each gummy is 10mg CBD, making them perfect for beginners looking to find their CBD sweet spot.
There is no penalty for taking a thoroughly tested and carefully formulated cannabidiol product. Your mind and body will thank you, and local law-enforcement agents recognise the legal availability of these hemp items. You never need to worry when purchasing a CBD gummy product.
