Our ship stops in Keelung for a day. I am considering the following itinerary: Longshan Temple in Taipei and then the National Palace Museum (NPM) for at least 2 hours.

Hi! Am headed to Taipei over the Chinese New Year and would like to get some advice regarding what'll be open and what to do over that period of time. Esp 11-12th Feb. Will the night markets / little cafes / Shida stalls be open? Or would it be better to take a day trip out to Beitou / Yangminshan on the 11/12th? Though I saw online that some of the stuff at Beitou is closed on Mondays (11th Feb)... Any suggestions welcome! Am looking to visit more art / tea houses / little establishments... as opposed to mega malls and such... not sure if this would be an unsuitable time to go... !
