The Shilin Official Residence is the backyard garden for Taipei city people because it's easy to access, just 10 minutes by walk from the Shilin Station of Taipei MRT System (metro/subway). It's open to the public, no entrance fee is required. A Gesneriad Show was held from 31th October to 4th November, I went to see the plants at the last day.
For more information about Shilin Official Residence, please check the offical website with Chinese/English guide. http://www.culture.gov.tw/frontsite/shilin/index.jsp
