Taipei Wenshan Sports Center — Attraction in Taipei

Swimming pool - do not come here unless you want to be told off by the brainless locals on their meaningless rules (which we were told which regulation we violated by not wearing swim shorts without inseam netting!) place is a joke by any global standards; staff purposely blocked drainage on both entrances to create an ankle depth pool to stop people from walking in with slippers/shoes!

Very nice lady selling Baozi at the pool...

When I arrived at the pool, Ms. Chen told me I could not wear a T-shirt underneath, even though I was wearing proper swim shorts and goggles. They insisted that I must wear a “professional swimsuit” and ultimately prevented me from entering. I have been swimming at various Taipei Sports Centers for the past 2 years and have never encountered this kind of issue before. It felt as though the lifeguards at Wenshan Sports Center were intentionally trying to prevent foreigners from using the facility. I kindly request the Sports Center Manager to take...
