This Taipei tour also included a hands-on font casting DIY workshop!
Visit Ri Xing Type Foundry for a hands-on cultural experience that brings Taipei’s printing history to life. Established in 1969, this family-run workshop is one of Taiwan’s last remaining traditional movable-type foundries.
Step inside and discover rows of shelves filled with thousands of Chinese lead characters, each carefully arranged and preserved. During the visit, guests can learn how movable type was once used to print books, newspapers, and business materials before digital printing became common. A local instructor will introduce the basic casting process and guide participants in creating a personalized souvenir using selected characters.
This activity offers a meaningful way to understand Taiwan’s craftsmanship, design heritage, and disappearing traditional industries. It is especially suitable for visitors who enjoy history, culture, and hands-on learning. If Ri Xing Type Foundry is closed on the day of the visit, the activity will be replaced with an elegant qipao experience in Dihua Street.
With a private guide, flexible pacing, and insider access, this foodie Taiwan tour is perfect for curious travelers who want more than just sightseeing tour. Explore Taipei like a local — with flavor, tradition, and fun!
