On a nice day, going to the Taipei Zoo, having a walk along the river, and riding the Maokong Gondola would be good things to do.
Sadly, what we had was a very rainy day, so just a short, wet, cold visit to the zoo.
The zoo is in a hilly, verdant area. While generally accessible, some of the slopes were challenging, especially in the wet.
We only got a really good look at the Formosan Animal area, and there the elusive Formosan Clouded Leopard eluded us.

Nice ramp up to the Sika deer enclosure:
Overly steep ramp up to the Formosan fern area:

What great posts – am totally enjoying your trip vicariously – thanks!
