Taipei Travel

Stopped here before going to the airport. A lot of shopping, both local and famous brands. Some street food as well

The area is just like how other tourists described it and I confirmed it. Like the Times Square of New York, Shibuya of Tokyo. We did a comparison by visiting it in the afternoon, then in the evening on the same day. Definitely at night is the best for people watching and immense yourself in a visual and sensory pleasure. If you love big crowds and noisy environment with lots of colour LED lighting with shopping and food like me, come here. Yes, most things are priced higher than other places but its still worth a visit. Even though I have an H&M where I lived, I still visited to see their styling and regional offerings. I loved the Uniqlo store because we do not have it at our place. With so many restaurants, eateries and street vendors and things to do, I could easily spend 3 days here to thoroughly enjoy it here. The day time exploring is great to do a lot of the indoor activites like the cinemas, shopping at department stores and dining at restaurants. In the evening, exploring outside and eating at the street vendors are a lot of fun. I ate at one of the many restaurants here so I posted some photos. Unable to review it since its in Chinese for the restaurant name. It was a nice lunch.

Many stalls that caters to the young and hip crowd. It is a place where you can get side stalls that sell snacks. The clothes and products that they sell here are slightly more commercialise and with some big name brands. However, if you explore the side streets, you should get some Taipei designers on the off beaten tracks.

The famous landmarks for shoppers to Taipei. No one will call his or her visit to Taiwan without making a trip to this place. This place has everything you could think of before returning back to your country. Souvenirs, local delicacies, clothing, shoes the well known or local made, cosmetics you name they are here and this place opens till late every day.

this is a zone where locals and tourists flood to every single day, at all sorts of hours. there's at least 2 cinemas here, cheap clothes, sports stores, quite a good variety of food options, and usually there's some buskers around too. just be careful of youths who grab hold of your arm and hang on to you to get you buy some weird stationery etc from them.
