The 50 best shopping and stores in Da'an

Right at the entrance of the market, we ended up buying from a cold food stall selling mixed organs and chicken feet — honestly, it was quite unpleasant. The taste and texture were really not for us, and it left such a bad impression that we didn’t feel confident trying more dishes afterward. I’d recommend avoiding that particular stall — definitely not a great start to the night market experience.

Very fun experience! Far less crowded than some of the other markets and with different food options. Peanut roll ice cream was divine - definitely add the cilantro as it gives it such an interesting flavor. Bursting squid was delicious and fresh. Meat roll with green onion = out of this world.

As many others have posted, a smaller, more local night market. On a rainy Sunday eve, there were people, but it didn't feel crowded at all. Plenty of food choices, you won't be wanting for a meal. My personal favorite is the Durian fruit drink shop near the middle of the market. Nice chicken soup shop near the far end. A reasonable selection of shops and a nice gym located here. I was able to find good quality shoes for my large & wide feet. This night market is worth a visit especially if you are local to Liuzhangli station.

Linjiang Night Market street was more spacious and had less people than others. There were less options but we still found all the stuff we wanted to eat. Fried chicken, baos, spring onion pancakes, and other desserts I wasn't sure of the name (sesame balls in syrup soup, in ice and those fried ones). Great for a quick night market dinner with friends. For more food options and things to do, would recommend the bigger and more popular ones.

At four blocks in length from east to west, Lingjiang isn't the biggest night market, but it is above average, as vendors overflow at the intersections towards both the north and south. This market is half food and half fashion, for the younger crowd. The fashion is trendy and predominantly for women. Having been to most of the night markets in Taipei, this one has a wide diversity of foods and there are a few unique items, which I have not encountered elsewhere. Located about 800 meters from the MRT station, Lingjiang is a little more remote than Ximending or Raohe, but there are enough foreign tourists to ensure the food selection is top notch and comparable with not only Raohe, but Ningxia as well. I counted at least, five unique items here. There are small bathrooms along the south side of the street towards the east. Three signs hang above the street. Depending on how many days you spend in Taipei and if you're visiting 101, this is worth a stop.

Great food! I wish more stalls are open. Maybe we went early at 8 PM. Food was great!

A great compact night market on the streets of Taipei. Plenty of tasty street food, homewares, electronic goods all on offer.

The Memorial plaza is an interesting place as it stands out in its given location, surrounded by post modern buildings and bustling traffic while the Memorial buildings stand in grand scale, seemingly untouched by time. The area as a whole is free to enter, while the red side buildings hosts cultural theaters that you need to purchase tickets from their box offices within to view. It's very easy to commute to this location when using their railway systems, just be aware which exit you need to go through in order to be at its doorstep.

I had such a great experience here! The place is absolutely breathtaking and totally worth a visit. There are lots of gift shops where you can buy souvenirs and do fun things like coin pressing too. I also recommend this place if you want to stroll around and enjoy the park filled with animals like birds, fish, and turtles. They’re super friendly and really cute — it’s the perfect spot to spend a peaceful, sunny morning.

Visiting the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and the surrounding Liberty Square in Taipei was one of the most memorable experiences of our Taiwan trip. The entire complex is rich in history, symbolism, and grandeur. The magnificent white structure with its blue-tiled roof stands tall as a tribute to Chiang Kai-shek, Taiwan’s former president, and represents an important part of the nation’s political journey. Climbing the 89 steps leading to the main hall — symbolizing his age at the time of death — adds a sense of reverence to the visit. Inside the main hall, we were fortunate to witness the Changing of the Guard ceremony, which takes place every hour. It was a mesmerizing display of precision, discipline, and respect. The guards performed their movements with absolute synchronization, reflecting the nation’s military tradition and honor. Watching this ceremony was definitely one of the highlights of our visit. Just outside, the vast Liberty Square opens up with stunning architecture on all sides — the National Theatre and National Concert Hall on either end and the memorial at the center. The square, once a symbol of authority, now represents Taiwan’s fight for democracy, most notably during the Wild Lily student movement of 1990 that shaped the nation’s democratic transformation. The blend of historical depth, architectural beauty, and symbolic significance makes this site a must-visit. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or a casual traveler, spending a few hours here offers an inspiring glimpse into Taiwan’s past and its enduring spirit of freedom.

A beautiful place full of history and stunning architecture. Kiang is such an interesting person — his handwriting is truly amazing! I really enjoyed the seasonal exhibitions, they always bring something fresh to see. And don’t forget to stop by the gift shop — lots of lovely souvenirs to take home. Definitely a 5-star experience!

We visited Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall around 3pm. The sun was intense, but the wind made the heat easier to handle. The plaza is wide open, so there’s not much shade and the wind can get strong. We caught the guard exchange at the main hall. The ceremony drew a crowd, and watching the guards move in perfect steps was a highlight. If you’re planning to visit, bring a hat instead of an umbrella, the wind is strong and umbrellas don’t work well here. Bring water and sunscreen so you can enjoy your time comfortably. There are vending machines in the area, one at the entrance and one at the side of the main hall.

Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall is very cool and a must-see! The grounds are beautiful with birds by the pond. And the Memorial Hall have excellent gift shops on the ground floor. It is free and if you go early, the crowds are minimal. Such a beautiful memorial hall! Striking!

Not crowded for a Sunday. All buildings, gardens and paths are immaculately kept. MRT station exit beside it. Accidentally arrived in time to see the changing of the guards. Definitely an attraction worth visiting.

Very impressive place in even more famous landmark. It is only logical, that only leading shops in fashion, jewelry, cosmetics, shoes are mainly there. If your bank account is big enough, good place for shopping

Underground mall connected with Taipei main station. It reminded me a little bit of Akihabara in Japan..just a little bit. You will find good deals here..the Nintendo switch 2 way cheaper than in Dubai!!

Such a fun underground city mall! My cousin took us there and the shops and decorations were so adorable. Food court and food was great too! Would definitely want to come back again! Enjoyed the nice relaxing walk and all the cute souvenirs we can claw from claw machines!

Taipei underground city mall where they connect trains, high speed, bus without walking above the street. Its a great system when bad weather occurred. Has game room, shops, food stands and restaurant, and bypass with mirrors where teenagers use it to practice dances.

An underground mall that sells a variety of goods and services. It categorise the shops by segments and apart from the retail options, there is a car park and food options too.

The best underground shopping in Taipei area. Connected to all other underground shopping mall. Mainly shops for anime stuff, antique, clothes. A perfect place to shop for tourist in case if is heavy raining at the outside

Couldn't believe we spent over 2 hours at this mall but that was how much fun i had there. Yes, it was a little anime heavy (heaven for my kid), but the mall and the anime shops did such a great job with the decore, that i did not mind it at all. I found i like the shops selling touristy gifts, cell phone accessories and bags/suitcases. I found we were also able to negotiate that price down a little bit:) One of my gems during our Taipei visit.

It's been more than 15 years since we last visited Taiwan. The followed the tour the last time and so didn't get much time to walk around on our own. This trip was more free and easy, on the way back from Yang Ming Shan, we happen to stop at this station and so decided to get off and visit shilin night market. Wow! Some changes since we last came. Very lively as it was a Friday too. I finally had a chance to taste the jumbo sized fried chicken chop! Delicious though sinful! Many were queuing for the bbq mushrooms and so did we! Very yummy! We could smell the stinky tofu from far away. Still something I cant accept!!! But the code noodles is nice. So much food but our tummy can only take so much! Will be back!

Lots of good food at this night market. Tried the Michelin bib 凉面, beef cubes, Taiwan sausage, kumquat lemonade, and 516 fried chicken. All the food was good but the 516 fried chicken and the 凉面 really stood out. I would go for the fried chicken again if I come here, and perhaps try another flavour of seasoning.

A great night market, it is cool to see it at least once when you are a tourist but it is not my favorite one. It is big, it extends over multiple streets, there are a many stands but they are a little bit more expensive than in "less famous" night markets. The food court is really pleasant for taking a break in the air conditioning. There is also multiple food stands in there with tables, chairs and free toilets.

This was the 2nd night market I visited during my 48 hours in Taipei and I was absolutely blown away. The colourful neon lit stalls, the crammed streets full of other market goers, the noise and sounds of the arcade hall and the amount of food and drinks available will get you in a spin. Definitely recommend Shilin Night Market if you come to Taipei.

What a fun place. Carnival type games and so many food stands and more. Packed on a Sunday night, but still room to sit in the huge downstairs food court. Some really weird foods you can buy, but plenty of normal stuff. I had 10 dumplings for about $2.50USD.

Shilin Night Market, one of the most famous night markets of Taipei. There are many things to do and eat, including the famous spicy chicken noodles, steamed buns and even buffets of local dishes, as well as games. This is a must come which is near Jiantan station of the MRT.

it was such a nice experience but the stalls were not all open, maybe because it was on a weekday. but we tried the famous original Hot Star Chicken and IT TASTED SO GOOD!!

Legendary night market This is the one everyone is talking about. So glad we finally got the check it out. We went right at opening and the market was already packed. Two giant columns of stall after stall. My main issue is that it was so overwhelming. I was sad that I wasn't able to try it all. My favs were probably the fuzhou pepper buns (toasty buns cooked in a tandoori style oven filled with pork), the stinky tofu (super concentrated flavor, much stronger than what I have had in the states), and the roasted pork (I always love the look of giant hanging slabs of pork. It was super tender with a crisp crust. Loved how they sprinkled on five spice to finish the dish). We also tried the Gua Bao and grilled trumpet mushrooms/zucchini which were excellent. The freshly made shrimp rice rolls, which while looking amazing, were a tad too doughly for my taste. Washed it all down with a craft Raohe beer from TimeBeer, which offers free seating and welcomes outside food, with a purchase, of course. Will need to come back.

Really enjoyed the food here! Right at the entrance near the station, you will see a long queue for the famous baked Chinese buns, definitely worth trying. The market stretches about 600 meters with hundreds of food stalls. It takes around 1 to 1.5 hours to walk through, including a couple of stops for food. I tried the buns, herbal pork soup, and deep fried chicken, all were excellent.

Out of all the night markets I’ve been to in Taipei Raohe night market has got to be my favourite. It’s exactly what you would expect from a Taiwanese night market, fully brimmed with food stalls and also external restaurants and stores on the side. So many places you must visit here food-wise and everyone is super friendly and famous for their specialities. It’s one big line that you just need to walk both sides of and surprisingly there’s barely any rubbish because all stalls take the trash regardless of what stall you got it from. Must go for first timers in Taipei!

The food are pretty nice and there are a great variety of food stuffs. Please see attached photos and videos including those hawkers owners "working in progress" preparing their food from the start to its finished products. Despite the rain when I was there on 22nd October 2025 many shops were closed. I love to come back for all the food there.

Raohe Night Market is an absolute must-visit! The place is always bustling with people, full of energy and amazing aromas everywhere. There are so many different foods to try — we indulged in the famous pork buns, crispy fried squid, doughnuts, and even a delicious melon pan–style bread, among others. The variety is incredible, from savory street snacks to sweet desserts. Every stall offers something unique, and it’s easy to spend hours wandering around, tasting a bit of everything. It can get quite crowded, but that’s part of the lively night market experience. If you love food adventures and don’t mind the crowds, Raohe Night Market is definitely worth the visit!

Long alley with great food options. The grilled steak and stuffed chicken were the best for me. It was so long so we had to cut mid way and went back already. Combination of food and affordable souvenir items.

Raohe Night Market is my MUST visit everytime I come to Taipei. I like the food there and it gets crowded on Fridays and weekends. It was rainy Oct Taipei this time round for me, many stalls were not open due to the non stop rain for days. Big I was glad u managed to eat all the food I like. Still my best night market to me in Taipei 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The Doraemon Exhibition at Huashan 1914 Creative Park is absolutely delightful! It’s a perfect blend of nostalgia, creativity, and fun. The exhibition is beautifully designed — from life-sized Doraemon figures to interactive zones and art pieces inspired by classic stories. Every corner is super photogenic and brings back so many childhood memories! The staff are friendly and well-organized, and the atmosphere is full of joy. It’s great for both families and fans of all ages. The themed merchandise area is also a must-visit — so many cute limited-edition items to take home! Huashan 1914 Creative Park itself is a lovely place to walk around, with cafes and art shops nearby, making it a perfect day out in Taipei. Highly recommended for any Doraemon lover!

This creative park provides a platform for local food, art creators, illustrators, performers to show their creations, ideas and acts in front of the public. This park is worthy paying visit for at least 1/2 a day. There are a lot of seasonal and limited shows, exhibitions and pop up stores. You should check to see what is going on in this park before visiting.

Was raining non stop since I arrived Taipei this time round. This place offers good sightseeing with a mixture of arts, architecture, activities (vary from time to time) and unique shops to get souvenirs and eatery/cafe/drinks. Entry is FOC. Of cos any purchase of food/drinks and souvenirs, you need to pay la, haha! This place you can take your time for a stroll- was drizzling but there was a good crowd. I took some photos of the lovely place and would recommend tourists to head down for this:)

We spent a wonderful weekend at the Creative Park, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The entire area was alive with energy — filled with laughter, music, and the vibrant buzz of people exploring the many activities happening around. Everywhere you turned, there was something interesting to see or do, from art exhibitions and creative workshops to small pop-up performances that added a joyful atmosphere to the park. What made the experience even more special were the permanent stores scattered around the area. They offered a charming selection of handmade crafts, souvenirs, and locally produced goods that showcased Taiwan’s unique artistry and creativity. The food stalls were equally delightful, serving a variety of local Taiwanese treats and snacks that were both authentic and delicious. The open spaces made it a perfect spot for families as well. Children could run freely across the green fields, play safely, and enjoy the lively surroundings while parents relaxed nearby. The Creative Park truly blends culture, creativity, and leisure into one inviting space. It’s a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the artistic spirit of Taiwan in a fun, family-friendly environment.

A casual, cultural, and good-to-go place in central downtown. There is a large green space with a lot of fancy and uniquely styled shops that sell everything from impressive t-shirts to cute and small handicrafts. I think this place is absolutely worth visiting!

20251004 - huge arts and events park that has many stalls that sells interesting local products and also have paid and free events. Nice place to know more about taiwan culture do some interactive experience. Some location is also nice for photo taking.

It is a very attractive cultural space. A small, old theater showing classic films... And there are many must-visit restaurants gathered in the prop shops. This place, which used to be an abandoned winery, was transformed in 1999 into a venue for art exhibitions, music performances, and other cultural activities for the arts and culture, non-profit organizations, and individuals. It is a great place to visit with children and also a good place to visit alone for a walk, so I highly recommend it.

Shin Kong Mitsukoshi – From "Just a Mall" to "Can We Stay 3 Days?" At first, I walked into Shin Kong Mitsukoshi thinking, “Alright, just another department store. Been here, done that. Feels like the kind of mall I walk through every day back in Bangkok.” But plot twist. Turns out, this place has a secret weapon—a massive outdoor playground on the rooftop. And I’m talking clean, safe, good weather, beautiful views, and enough toys to keep my toddler living his best life. There’s even a little train ride up there. My kid was so hyped he literally asked, “Can we stay here for three days?” I mean… I get it. And just when we thought we’d maxed out on fun, boom—we discovered a Ghibli gift shop inside. Totoro heaven. Cute stuff everywhere. So yeah, we ended up loving this mall a little more than we expected. Bonus points: It’s right next to Taipei 101, so the location’s super convenient too. So what started off as “eh, just another mall” became a full-on highlight of our trip. Definitely worth a stop—especially if you're traveling with kids!

If you walk from the footbridge from Taipei City Hall station (Breeze Xinyi), you’ll walk past SKM A4 first and reach here. My favourite restaurant of the building is the Baan Phadthai restaurant in B1F, where there are a lot of girly shoes stores and a 7-11. In addition, the food court, dessert shops, supermarket, and bakeries are situated in B2F. There are a lot more SKM buildings nearby but I come here the most frequently.

Such a fun place to shop and explore! The buildings are all connected, so you can just walk through without going outside-super convenient especially when it's rainy and hot. Lots of good food in the basement (I had some really yummy japanese food , plus so many cute shops and big brands too. I loved the little surprises like the rooftop playground and postcard stamping area. Even if you're not buying much, it's still a nice place to chill and look around. Really close to Taipei 101 too, so it's easy to add to your itinerary!

Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Taipei Xinyi Place A8 is one of the main department stores in the Xinyi shopping district, located right next to Taipei City Hall MRT Station. The mall offers a wide range of shops — from fashion, cosmetics, and lifestyle goods to family and children’s brands — making it a convenient all-in-one stop. The basement food court is newly renovated with plenty of local and international dining options, while the upper floors feature stylish cafés and restaurants perfect for hangouts. It’s directly connected to other Shin Kong Mitsukoshi buildings (A9, A11) through bridges, so you can easily explore multiple malls. The only downside is the weekend crowd and limited parking space. Overall, it’s a clean, modern, and enjoyable shopping destination in Taipei — highly recommended for both tourists and locals.

Awesome 4f and 5f for children. The floors had little accent interactive wall features which the kids can play with. All other stuff like good place to buy gifts, coffee shops, etc. are just bonus.

Was here during Christmas, the decoration and light was amazing. A very chic and trendy place for all ages. A shopping heaven in Taipei with all famous & luxury brands. It also has good eatery places surrounding & food court.

This shopping mall is walking distance from the Taipei City Hall Train station. Several malls are around this mall which are differentiated by A4, A8, A9, A11 and there is a bridge on level 2 to connect the malls together. The items sold in each mall are quite different and food available is different too. There’s also afew other malls like breeze mall and if you walk further it’s near to Taipei 101 building.

I could never get tired on exploring such an amazing place. This is an all electronics/gadgets shop. Many different international brands from mobile phones to washing machines. Everything you want is under one roof.

You can find everything related to take you. There are shops for every single brand. You could possibly think of that I’m related to technology. There is even multiple animation shops that you can buy such as good smile I went to the DJI store and was able to get multiple accessories for a cheaper price than my home country and I was really happy about it. I was also tempted to buy a laptop however I was discouraged because buying electronic photos overseas is always gonna be a hassle with warranty and possible transport as well as luggage restrictions overall, I really recommend tech people to come have a look at. It is possibly the largest tech shopping center along with the Guang Wah next to it.

Amazing selection of art toys, Burger Kun, Popmart, Anime, Bandai and more. Must go if you are a big fan of these!

I recommend this mall for all your digital / tech / computer and related needs. It feels upscale, not many kids or families wandering about. Lots of fun gadgets to look at. Has anything you would plug into a wall, including speakers, computers, cameras, desks and (massage) chairs, and more. They also have great gifts and toys, as well as a whole floor for anime things.

Definitely worth visiting if you're into toys, video games, and anime and manga. They have an official GoodSmile Company store, a Gundam Base, and several other toy, hobby, and video game stores present on the 6th and 7th floors. Alternatively, if you're looking for a new laptop, laptop bag, power bank, or phone/phone accessories, there are some excellent choices here because of the presence of various stores here that cater to these types of things.

There are nicely arranged technology vendor showrooms on each floor. This place seems to be set up to showcase vendor’s product lines rather than actually buying anything. Lots to see here and a great place to get a hands-on experience with tech and tech-related products before leaving to order online, where the deals and discounts are.

Surprisingly amazing place to visit not a normal mall you would see in a western country definitely something different has a lot to offer from food to games to play can chill here for a few hours easily. It's a really nice mall especially for the more geeky individuals. Lots of anime and collectable stuff.

Got kids who love anime figures? Into streetwear or Bearbricks like me? Wan Nian Building is a multi-story building, a hidden gem—like stepping into Akihabara. Packed with claw machines, arcade on the 5th floor, food court on B1, and the rest of the floors filled with retail stores selling collectibles, and unique things that’ll catch your eye at every turn. I scored a Bearbrick here and the shop attendants were super kind and helpful. It’s fun, nostalgic, and full of surprises—perfect for collectors, families, and pop/street wear fans alike.

A historical building but heaven for animate, gachabon surprise toys. Basement are eateries.

A must visit if you are a toy and animation figurines collectors at level 3 & 4. There are even a hotel and cinema in this building with foodcourt at the basement level and few book cafeteria at level 10

There are a lot of delicious foods and different types of things you can purchase like perfume, figurines, clothes and a lot more. The sellers are also friendly and approachable.

This is definitely the paradise of models, plushies and toy figures in Taiwan. I’ve been coming here to buy Mario and Pokemon toys for years. These stores are mostly on the 4th floor and some on the 3rd floor. Moreover, the restaurants are all in the basement and my top pick is Calcutta Indian restaurant.

building full of toys and die cast items. for collectors and toy enthusiasts

Very old building, it’s mostly focused on male customers, including men’s appeal, accessories and toys, as well small backers hotels and a gay bathhouse. Great location and variety,

As a foreigner, who doesn't speak the local language, I found it somewhat easy to navigate. The signs by escalators explained in English what was on each floor. The map outside did not... lots of PC parts in stock! Pricing was competitive.

Incredible IT solutions made simple This is a true find. Whether people here bringing a dead Mac back to life or making an impossible budget work, they get the job done. Best of all, they speak in plain language, not technical jargon, so you always know exactly what's going on.

One the best places to visit in Taipei. For all electronics lovers and science geeks, this is your place. You will find many pc hardware options and other electronic devices here. In addition, some stores sell other scientific instruments like small handheld microscopes, magnifying glasses, laser pointers, voltmeters, oscilloscopes, thermal cameras and even spy gadgets like a pen with hidden camera.

It's not a must go tourist spot but it's worth checking it out if you are into electric goods. I mean, this plaza is not particularly special. You probably have seen similar setup in other Asian counties but it is still fun to walk around. I like the fact how they were selling some of retrol game consoles.

Love it!! Lots of great deals to be found here. Wear comfy shoes. I walked almost 2 miles just browsing.

Overpriced, eventhough most products are made in taiwan. You get better prices in EU or USA. In rare occasion you find anything reasonable (for example ssd), they either dont want to sell (only as complete system build) or simply pull off the sticker price and raise to "new price". When tried to ask why they get offended if you offer a slightly lower amount in cash. Simply put keep your money, only look around and leave this to the locals, better options and pricing in your home country or online. This place wont survive long

Eerily quiet at times, and quite a few shops are closed or storefronts with signs redirecting to web or phone numbers. Still a good place to go if you have specific commodity electronics questions (eg building a PC or NAS RAID, or video surveillance kits) but for mainstream tech, the showrooms are in the building next door and online is where the deals and discounts are.

This is a major fashion distribution center with streets after streets of shops selling fashion attire, mainly for ladies. Much lesser for men. Not the latest fashion sense, seems to have a lot of clothing’s from Vietnam and China. Some were pretty dusty and not very clean. Prices are affordable so each to themselves, you may find something you like, you may not.

Ladies ladies …this place for shopping shopping. Price from TWD100 n above. Have men shop also but not many. When u enter here don’t get lost. They have plenty of shop inside n many lanes to walk n shop. Remember bring your own recycle bags. It takes me 5 min walk from our hotel Greenworld songshan

Definitely an fun experience. Lots of food options, lots of clothing stores. Most of the clothing's stores and accessories shops are for women however there are a few modern shops for men. The atmosphere is fun, and it's a decent place to go on a rainy day as much of the area is covered. And it also has an incredible Temple if you so choose to visit.

Place for wholesale market and outfit shopping. But i feel scammed, prices are almost similar to that in the malls (K mall / Taipei City Mall has the similar design) Cant try the outfit, hence quite risky for blind purchase. Nothing special here. Would not really recommend for the tourist.

Pretty good area for shopping. Mainly female clothing. Very few or maybe no souvenirs or snack shops. The area reminds me of Korea shopping streets. I didn't buy anything so I'm not sure about the pricing but a lot of the clothing had Korea labels.

Convenient and many choices of women fashion starts from 50NT. Men fashion was not too many option. It is quite market in weekdays.. There are food stall as well and easily reached from Songshan MRT Station or by bus

Wufenpu Shopping District is a vibrant market full of trendy fashion, accessories, and streetwear at affordable prices. The narrow lanes are packed with boutiques and vendors, offering plenty of choices for women, from clothes to shoes and bags. However, options for men are more limited. It’s a great spot for fashion lovers, especially women, looking to shop for unique pieces and enjoy the lively atmosphere.

This spacious cultural park offers a wide variety of exhibitions, showcasing the creative works of students from National Taiwan University, as well as graduates and independent artists. The environment is clean and well-maintained, and even the restrooms have a unique design that adds to the charm of the place. It’s definitely a worthwhile destination for anyone interested in art and creativity.

Really cool spot to check out if you’re into art, design, and creative spaces. The old factory vibe mixed with modern exhibits makes it interesting to walk around. There are galleries, little shops, and even some cafes where you can just hang out. It’s a nice break from the busy parts of Taipei and a good place to spend a slow afternoon exploring.

Songshan Creative Park is a huge space with lots to see, from creative displays to boutique shops and exhibitions. It definitely has its unique character and is easy to spend a good amount of time wandering around. That said, it didn’t quite impress me the way Huashan 1914 Creative Park did. While Huashan feels vibrant and full of energy, Songshan comes across as more spread out and sometimes a little underwhelming. The exhibitions are interesting, but nothing really blew me away during my visit. It might appeal more to those who enjoy design-focused showcases or want a quieter spot to explore compared to other attractions in Taipei. For me, though, it felt like it lacked the spark that makes a creative park memorable. Still, if you’re nearby, it’s worth checking out at least once.

stumbled around this place by accident and love it!!! there is a collaboration exhibition from artists from busan and taipei. and many cute souvenir shops. there is a pretty library here, entry ticket 50NTD.

Lots of stores selling unique items. My favorite was the Wooderful Life which has paper crafts that look like little plants. Very cute and make nice gifts to take back home. The kids enjoyed the exhibit regarding technology using eye movements. Educational, interactive and pretty unique.

Love this area! Sooo much to do! Just loved it! If you are a shopper, there isn’t a ton of persay cultural stuff but it’s awesome!

I have visited pre pandemic and re-visited again and found the place livelier than before. The warehouses and tobacco factory spaces are now occupied with ongoing exhibitions and activities. Used to be a dead town. The mall is operated by eslite now with a food court, cafe, movie theatre, and bookstore. There is also a hotel.

This is one of the good medium sized malls in connection with the nearby stations (both Taipei Subway & the Taipei Local Train Station). My flight was midnight so I spent almost 6 hours in this mall, shopping, eating & including watching a movie. They also have some luggage storage (other than those provided by the 2 train stations).

Q Square Mall’s Vie Show Cinema is super convenient and modern! I love that it’s located right above Taipei Main Station, which makes it easy to access. The theater is clean, spacious, and the sound system is great. I watched a movie recently and had a really comfortable experience — seats were cozy, and everything felt well-maintained. Also, there are lots of food options in the mall before or after the movie. A perfect place for a movie date or a chill solo night out!

A relatively big mall with many small boutiques on the lower floors and international brands on the ground and 2nd levels. The upper and basement are F&B outlets. There is also a cinema if I am not wrong. It is conveniently connected to the Taipei City Mall and can be entered via Y3 exit.

A great lifestyle mall with excellent food options (the vegan restaurant Vegan Amore being the best without question, on level 3). Also of note: Keen shoes L3, Starbucks L1. Enjoy!

This is a mall which contains mostly high-end designer branded clothing, accessories and, home appliances. There are food courts present at the Basement 3 and , gourmet restaurants on the 4th floor. It is located next to the Palaisa de Chine Hotel and is very close (walking distance) to the MRT. There are not many electrical/accessory stores and if you are looking for things like memory cards or computer accessories, then visit the business district. Worth a visit if you are in the area!

1st visit here is a underground mall beside the Taipei City Mall. This more upscale mall compared to Taipei City Mall. Nice .

The bread from Shan Guo Artisan Bakery is extraordinary. Everything is so good! And the cheese cake from R Bear. Very expensive but it's definitely a must try.

Free entrance to Taipei flower market. It’s a pleasant day spot to visit when rainy. Don’t forget to go to the Jade jewelry market across the street first. After the flower market there is an art and craft market, that’s interesting but not as fun as the jade and jewelry market. The prices are low and you can haggle to get a better price. Not much discount if you don’t buy more than 2 items.

One of the bestest and cheapest market for green souls. The varieties are huge than any other place. Vendors are equally helpful explaining the care and maintenance of tricky plants. Apart from plants, there are countless options of plant food and decor. My favorite part is the combo offers, where you can choose a bundle of plants for 100-200 NTD. Must visit on weekends, its definitely popular for all the good reasons.

Some deals to be had. Wide range of plants. Owners can tell you how to grow. If you wanna get a bunch bring a trolly. I find the 4 for 100 deal to be good. Lot of repeat vendors but the specialists mixed in are interesting like the carnivorous plant vendor or the water plant sellers

So many varieties of flower sold at reasonable prices. Such a beautiful and lively place 🌷🍃.

Large flower market that is only open on weekends. My parents got a bunch of planter bases for a good price. There are some vendors who sell drinks and snacks. I also saw goldfish and fruits and vegetables like at a farmers market.

This market has such a variety of cut flowers, potted plants, and aquatic plants as well as gardening accessories and pots. The walkway is conveniently wide, and there is a huge selection of orchids.

A really huge market with a wide selection of plants, ceramic pots, and gardening supplies. I came during Dec, and one shop even had spring bulbs (tulips, hyacinths and the like). I couldn’t buy any to my home country, but had a lot of inspiration on the display and planting. I got a selection of bonsai pots and a few flower frogs that were very affordable. The market occasionally has farmers’ produce, and I bought some Hakka meicai which I was very pleased with. Worth a visit if you enjoy plants.

Shida Night Market hasn't fully recovered its former lively atmosphere post-Covid. Many night markets in Taipei have changed, with some shrinking or shifting focus from shopping to dining. Ask a cafe staff she said shida night market has 没落了（not as vibrant as before). For a more vibrant experience, consider visiting these bigger and livelier night markets in Taipei instead: Ximending (food & shop) more touristy, Ningxia & Raohe (Food), Shilin Night market(food, games & shop)the biggest so far but also not as lively as precovid.

Random…found my long lost shawarma here. Still alive and kicking after 30 years? This night market has definitely gone downhill. It’s not crowded at all. Funny thing is, the stalls that I’ve been looking for were still around here. Felt less of a tourist trap and more of what once was the standard for night market foods. Hope it gets better…otherwise it might not be here next time I visit. Wouldn’t recommend visiting if you’re from out of town. Go to a larger one so you can have a raider experience.

So the nice thing about this market is that it’s not very crowded and the food is more complex and not the simple stuff at the tourist trap night markets. The bad part is that it’s kind of small and much of the night market is clothing and stuff and less food options.

recommended place to visit! have so many choices for lunch and dinner…

Covid has caused this place to lose some of its vibe and charm, because a lot of shops have moved out. Then again, you can buy a lot of apparels online now. Of course the braised lok lok store is still a must-visit! Queues cam be long but moves quite fast.

This is my favorite night market in Taipei. It offers a great selection of delicious food, numerous boutiques with creative Taiwanese fashion, and a collection of some of the best cafés in town. At the same time, Shida Night Market doesn't feel overwhelming. Try to visit it on a weeknight, when the lanes are less crowded. Definitely a must visit place if you are in Taipei!

In typical Taipei fashion it's ok. But every major night market in Taichung, Hualian, Tainan, or Kaohsiung are way better. The best advice I have for anyone in Taipei is to get away from Taipei to the good parts of Taiwan.

A five-star food court located in the basement of a high-ended shopping mall in the East District of Taipei, where you may order foods from several restsurants in the food court at the same time and enjoy these various cuisines in a common area.

Indoor department stores with some few cafe. Can be a place for your to rest in AC after long day shopping

Very upscale shopping center with great restaurants. Better than average food court at B2, with Jing Yuan restaurant being an excellent choice. Fried rice, pineapple shrimp, and tofu were all outstanding. Sushi is also great. Very crowded on weekends.

The banana chocolate souffle looked nice but was dry and lacked flavor. The restaurant has great service but the food was lacking. I had a much better souffle in rowhe night market the previous night so maybe my expectations are too high. They need to add cream to this or maybe it was over cooked. The place has great service and the staff is really attentive so I'd return but try another dish.

Great environment for family and friends. Shopping areas are good. Lovely place to enjoy relaxing day.

This review is for the Bellavita Cafe on the ground floor. The pancakes are rubbery and people are just eating here for the Instagram photos I feel. Not recommended for the price.

Bellavita, a luxury mall situated in the Commerical Xinyi Planning District. The architecture is beautiful, mixture of natural stones, changing lights, elegant trees, and outdoor fountain/ space. Changing themes / featured stores in the interior. THe shopping center is very lifestyle focus, offers lots of ultra-premium brands, and a super indulging, 2-Michelin star restaurant - L’Atelier de Joel Robouchon.

In my opinion, some amazing and authentic restaurants are situated in this department store, such as Paradise Dynasty on the 4F, YONSHIN on the 3F, and Dim Dim Sum on the B1F, where the underground passage to the MRT station is. There are also a few fine dining restaurants on the 4F. I also love how strong the air conditioning is when you take the escalators to the 4F and that’s where the actual breeze comes. In addition, the first floor is filled with luxury stores, such as Fendi, Celine etc. Overall, it’s one of the malls that I often visit to.

Highly recommended place to Visit if you come to Taipei this area shopping district is very recommended because all you need and all you can see is here. A lot of entertainment, restaurant, shop, cinema theater, etc ...

The Breeze Xinyi shopping mall are big. From the main entrance there’s a MRT Taipei city station. The Breeze building are big n long . If u keep walking straight can heading to Taipei 101 building & Breeze Nan Shan. Branded stuff can find here, food, drinking. Opposite road there’s a MRT station.

I really loved this breeze mall because the luxury selection of fragrances and cosmetics they have parfums de Marley, initio, xerjoff, acqua di Parma , dipdique, Louis Vuitton, maison Francis kurdijan, creed and many more this is a niche fragrance mall and not really designer . Also Louis Vuitton gave us exceptional service and even gave us Evian water when we were browsing

I have a deep passion for photography and enjoy sharing my art with others. My photographic style often involves capturing a single subject from various angles, creating a diverse collection of images. Regrettably, the ambiguous standards set by Google have left me disheartened, as my efforts seem to have been in vain. Nevertheless, I have chosen to contribute my photos exclusively to location pages, hoping to benefit fellow users. In terms of ratings, I tend to be reluctant to rate below five stars. Life can be challenging, and every individual's hard work and dedication deserve recognition. Hence, those who invest their time in photography and reviews are indeed commendable.

Part of a massive shopping complex adjacent to the City Hall MRT station, along with the Uni-President department store. You can find nearly anything imaginable there or nearby, without ever going outdoors. Lots of places to eat as well.

A great shopping and hanging out center, filled with stores and entertainment. Big area near Taipei 101, well connected to train stations

A very tiny old historic walking area with Japanese style architecture and landscape. There are a few restaurants for the tourists to enjoy a couple hours. I brought my parents to have tea and cake a few years ago and my parents like this area. You don’t need to spend too much time or money and still enjoy a little historical flavor walk! Good place for taking pictures and 20 minutes is just enough! I would suggest the management company to place more benches for the tourists under the shade. The stores and restaurants did not open until 11 am, what a pity! A breakfast restaurant selling simple cafe and sandwich open at 7 am will attract a lot of tourists! (we have jet leg and wake up at 5am!😄)

It was a nice place to chill out and capture photos, there are nice decor cafes and restaurants in Japanese style. My bad I didn't fully understand about the place's history. Beautiful place to drop by.

Japanese style plaza, there a tea house and some restaurants..the place is very small though..you can squeeze it in your travel schedule between visits where you want to chillax and have some food It's also close to Dongmen train station

Rongjin Gorgeous Time is a remarkably charming fusion of Taipei’s colonial-era history and contemporary cultural flair. Its tranquil ambiance, thoughtfully curated shops, and photogenic architecture make it a standout destination ideal for couples, creatives, or anyone seeking a peaceful break from the urban rush.

Rows of japanese theme shop. Souvenir, food and partry shop but not many. Good place to pose for pictures. We didn't eat here but we bought Osranthus Pineapple Cake.

Small area but nicely crafted with cool vibes, worth dropping by when around the area

We were looking forward to visiting here and we found the place very pretty and the history behind it is interesting. Since this attraction is fairly new, I was surprised to see that it was a bit run-down (ex: the restrooms), hope they can maintain the place a bit better. We came on a very hot afternoon and the unbearable heat was one reason why we didn't stay that long. Another was quite a lot of the establishments (understandable since they're bars) were still closed. We'll come back again when it's cooler.

So lovely. I had such a nice time minus the horrible air pollution. I think some stalls burnt inscents and some portions of the market just smelled like cigarettes smoke. The air quality was so bad that I felt like my lymph nodes were swelling up by my jaw under my ears…. I did score one beautiful piece of jade and few pieces of donuts though. They mostly take cash unless if it’s tens of thousands of NT.

Huge market place, and not just jade. You can find all kinds of jewelry, gem stones, crystals, rocks and minerals, coins, statuettes of all sorts, decorative items, and much more. There are also vendors that can do repairs and restringing of beaded bracelets and necklaces. This is a great place to spend an afternoon, and it's truly fascinating even for those not really that interested in jewelry. They have public restrooms, and the place is air-conditioned.

A nice market with a variety of pieces for anyone's budget. From expensive to affordable jade and jewelry you have an expansive choice of vendors and items that will make your eyes sparkle. Enjoy an afternoon of browsing and shopping.

Endless rows and tables of jade jewelry vendors. More expensive than I thought it would be. Unique location under a highway road bridge.

interesting. I have a jade lover n she said mom, there's a extremely good flower market. so we headed to the market and she screamed oh my God.....mom, look at that....JADE MARKET!!!! anyway, she bought a bracelet n earrings as she wanted. im also pleased to have been there.

Located under the bridge overpass and situated on a very busy road, the Jianguo Holiday Jade Market covers a huge area with a variety of gemstone stalls operated by the locals. This world-famous tourist attraction in Taipei is highly recommended for anyone who admired the beauty of gemstones and wishes to explore a wide selection of them. The Jade Market is widely visited by the locals and not just tourists. The sellers are friendly and most importantly, not aggressive in terms of trying to sell their merchandise. The market is not always crowded on the weekend and is a great place to shop for bracelets and necklaces, jade figures, pendants, antiques, and gems. Some of the stalls allow bargaining and their prices vary depending on the quality and rarity.

Open only on Saturday and Sunday. Usually by 4pm, few shop keepers will start leaving. So bargain. I had bought jade rings, jade frog, jade bracelet here.

Only came here on New Year's Day, to take the train back to Ximen where my accommodation was at. When we entered the station at about 1am+, we were surprised to still see crowds of people lining up outside the faregates, where the staff was restricting access until the previous group of commuters have boarded the train. They did their job well, telling people to prepare their card to tap in for smoother entry for the lines, so we only needed to wait 10 min to enter the faregates. By now, it was 1.20am, but kudos to the staff for working late to get the commuters back home by extending the hours of the Taipei Metro!

Fantastic station. In addition to the clean station, friendly staff, efficient train system, they also have a connected shopping plaza. You can find restaurants, gift shops, and even a library (or book store). It's similar to Taipei City Mall, except MUCH smaller. But if you've been there, then you get the idea.

If you're looking to shop, there isn't a specific area/mall to go to. However, there are a few clothing shops (both the one on the street and a proper one) just right outside the MRT exit.

Nice and clean and the signage is great. Connects to a underground mall with shops and restaurants. The escalators surface near a lot of fancy stores.

This station only has one train line (blue) but it makes up for it with the richness of the underground mall. It’s A welcome escape from the heat and the scooters and the taxis.

Love this area for its selection of clothing stores and mini food carts. A little more pricey but there are lots of interesting stuffs!

Great spot for food/shopping/novelty offerings. come any time of the week its worth checking out.

This is second or third time I came and each experience is better than previous. To come in need to get tickets and also queue but the wait is still manageable. There are some information about the science of the tower which is interesting for not only young kids but also adults. There were a lot of new installations and photo point for visitors. Nice view as usual, hope the windows can be cleaner but strictly speaking is already in quite decent condition. Have better view on good sunny days if come in day time.

A must see when visiting Taiwan. We bought our tickets upon walk up which was about $21.00 US. Cash or credit card acceptable. KLOOK offered it at a few dollars cheaper. We waited in line for about 15 minutes before taking the 45 second ascending elevator up to the 89th floor. Once there, it was quite crowded during the later part of the afternoon. Lots of window space for viewing and taking pictures of Taipei City. Also some little garden displays, light play and rest areas for all ages. Lots of space for children but keep a good eye on them as this space can easily loose them too. The 88th floor you can get a better view of the "Damper". There is a snack/café bar, rather expensive and they give you a coupon booklet to save a few dollars. There is a restroom as well. As you make your way to the elevator to descend, there will be a longer line which took us about 20 minutes in line. They did run 2 elevators but it took some time. If you have are physically challenged or wheelchair assist, there is a very small waiting area right by the elevator for you with a bench to sit and the "doorman/elevator person can assist you.

Pretty good viewing area on the 89th floor, and the views are great. I also went to the 101st floor and to be honest the view is the same. The viewing area is smaller with smaller windows, but it's quite nicely decorated. Unfortunately the outside Sky deck was closed during my visit (no idea why it wasn't windy and it was a nice sunny hit day) that's why I have only given it 4 stars. All in all it's definitely worth a visit.

Visited Nov. 12, 2025. What I thought was a ride to the near top of the building (Floors 85 and 87, $20 USD) for views of Taipei was just the beginning. Yes, the views are very cool but there was so much more to see and experience. There was the Pili Puppet exhibit. Beautiful puppets, works of art. There was the Muted Damper which is the only one in the world that the public view it. Very interesting and amazing engineering! There was an art exhibit expressing different paintings of the tower. Some were Impressionist style, others whimsical. Lots of photo opportunities. There's a few cafes but the Daz Cafe D by far offered a wonderful coffee set. Delicious coffee from around the world and excellent desserts. After exploring all of this, back down on the main floor, there was an interactive exhibit similar to TeamLab stuff. After that you could try in theater gear. It's included with your tower admission ticket. I spent about 3.5 hours taking it all in. Truly enjoyed my visit.

Came for the first time and loved it: buying tickets on sight and getting up was quick on a Friday around noon. The view of the city is phenomenal. Lots of videos about the damper which were very interesting. Also loved the little post office station across from the gift shop upstairs where you can stamp your postcards and buy stamps across in the gift shop. Pro tip: get your ticket for Din tai Fung before going up and you’ll be able to eat when you come down. Our waiting line said 95 minutes but when we came down after 60 we could enter right away.

Just wrapping up an incredible visit to the majestic Taipei 101, and wow, what an experience! 🤩 From the moment you approach this towering architectural marvel, you know you're in for something special. The building itself is stunning from the ground up, designed to look like a stack of bamboo segments. 🎋 ​But the real magic is, of course, the journey to the top! The elevator ride up is lightning-fast, taking you to the 89th-floor observatory in seconds—truly an experience in itself! 🚀 Once you step out, the 360-degree panoramic views of Taipei city are absolutely mesmerizing. You can see the whole sprawl, from the mountains surrounding the city (hello, Elephant Mountain hiking view! 👋) to the busy streets below. I recommend going right before sunset to capture that golden hour glow across the cityscape! 🌇✨ ​And don't miss the engineering marvel at the heart of the tower: the massive golden Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) between the 88th and 92nd floors! It's an enormous, suspended steel sphere designed to stabilize the building against typhoons and earthquakes. Seeing this functional, artistic piece of physics up close is seriously mind-blowing. 🤯 ​If you're in Taipei, dedicating a few hours to Taipei 101 is a MUST. It perfectly blends stunning views, modern architecture, and brilliant engineering all in one spot. Don't forget to check out the luxury mall at the base too! 🛍️

Beautiful view especially during the sunset time. Received few vouchers upon redeeming the physical tickets via Klook. I only managed to try the tanghulu and egg cake(Taipei 101 ver.) but it was a great experience~~ The staff are fast and efficient at work. They are attentive and helpful too.

The seafood here is incredibly fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. From uni hand rolls to premium sashimi platters, every bite tasted clean and high quality. The ambience and layout make it feel more like a curated seafood market experience than a typical restaurant. However, service left much to be desired. We had an initial server who was shockingly rude, bordering on hostile, and later spent about 15 minutes chatting with a friend while her teammates hustled to serve guests. The rest of the staff did their best, but overall service felt amateurish compared to the level of the food. Great for food lovers—but don’t expect polished hospitality.

Fresh seafood and plenty of variety at Addiction Aquatic Development. You can buy your seafood and have it cooked or made into sushi, or dine at one of the small restaurants inside, which often have better deals and air conditioning compared to the ready-made stalls outside. There’s also a quiet corner spot with a huge seafood platter for 1,980 NTD that’s worth trying. That said, I wasn’t too impressed with the service. Even though it’s mostly self-service, it’s still quite pricey. We spent around 6,000 NTD on food, and when we asked about a crab we bought that was hard to eat, staff said it had been cut to help us. They walked outside where we were eating standing. We showed them pieces that clearly weren’t cut and were very difficult to eat. After complaining, they hesitated to help instead of cutting it for us, they just let us use their shears. A strange experience considering how much we spent. The public washrooms there were disgusting.

There are a total of 3 dining areas. The first one would be the kind, where you have to sit or stand by the counter, order their sushi and/or sashimi. The second one would be an outdoor sitting restaurant that focuses on bbq. The third one would be a restaurant, where you must select the seafood before entering the restaurant to sit. Kindly take note, for this restaurant, they do not accept credit card. They only accept cash. We went to the 3rd one. The seafood are definitely fresh however, the price can be quite pricey. A total of 3 of us paid $3000 for the meal. You can take a look at the photo to see what we have ordered. To those who hasn't visit this place before, I would say, give it a go and try for one time to experience the atmosphere.

I’ve been here many times, but this visit was for a company gathering , and it was just as great as always. The king crab was incredibly fresh, sweet, and perfectly cooked — definitely the star of the meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure everything went smoothly even though the restaurant was quite busy. The other seafood dishes were also delicious and well-prepared, especially the sashimi and grilled prawns. Overall, it’s a great place highly recommend for anyone who loves quality seafood!

A supermarket in Taipei Fish Market is packed with fresh seafood, vegetables, and Japanese food like sushi, sashimi, and ready-to-eat meals. You can pick ingredients and have them cooked at the chef’s bar. Very convenient, clean, and full of variety.

Dined solo at the upstairs restaurant in October 2025 and I really enjoyed my experience. I had the hot pot Japanese Wagyu and vegetable set. It was my first time trying hot pot and I made some mistakes, but the staff were very kind and understanding, and helped me figure it out. After the amazing meal they brought out an egg, rice, seaweed and chives to make a porridge out of the leftovers, which was phenomenal. I finished with a desert of matcha ice cream, which was just perfect. I will return on my next visit to Taipei!

Second time eating here. Last time was 5 years ago. The sushi bar is definitely in my top 10 meals. The nigiri is perfect ratio of fish to rice. Big pieces of fish with the perfect amount of Wasabi and just a small piece of rice. The rudder fish and halibut were new to me and delicious. The salmon belly was a very large piece and excellent. The A5 kobe beef just melts in your mouth. I had 8 pieces of nigiri, 100 grams of Kobe A5 NY Strip and 2 glasses of champagne. With tip it was $70. It is standing only, no tables.

Taipei Main Station is a bustling hub that forms the lifeline of Taipei's transportation network. The station offers seamless connectivity through its extensive network of trains, buses, and the MRT. It’s not just a gateway to explore Taipei, but also a starting point for journeys across Taiwan. The station is well-equipped with a variety of amenities, including shops, restaurants, and convenience stores. There's even a shopping mall within the complex, perfect for grabbing essentials or indulging in some retail therapy.

Taoyuan airport mrt was under construction only small entry if I walked from hotel near ( Taipei station worst station ever Z exits no escalator or had elevator but closed entry on street). It's better to walk from hotel directly to mrt as of April 17,2025 price is 160 NT can top up on ipass or Easycard tap and go. Train was super crowded.

This station consists of the airport line and HSR station. When we arrived, there was some renovation going on, so several exits were closed. No clear instruction on how to exit, and we took a big turn underground to get to our hotel that was supposed to be 5 minutes away (we ended up taking 15). It was quiet and no staff around to ask directions. Nonetheless, still a convenient and nice station.

Nice station Clean and served well I took an express train from the airport to Taipei city center for 160 Taiwanese dollars

Convenient transportation option from Taipei to Taoyuan International Airport. Can use Easycard for payment just like any other train stations in Taiwan. Love the comfortable seats.

Enter from street level at exit K2 to get to the Taoyuan AirPort Express line directly if you want to avoid wandering through the underground shopping malls.

The station is nice, but the airport express trains do not run frequently enough for the volume of passengers. My train from Taoyuan airport to Taipei was absolutely packed at 5pm on weekday; I could not even reach the luggage racks due to the crowding. Returning to the airport at 9pm on a Sunday night the train was less crowded but all seats were still taken, and I again had to stand for the 38 minute journey to the airport. Taoyuan Metro authorities should respect the travellers who are paying a premium fare for this line and increase the frequency of trains.

Very interesting underground shopping street. Other than a usual Xi men ding 西门町，this is a place I will be highly recommended for tourists to visit if you are in Taipei. An important note is to make sure you walk out or exit the underground shopping street to discover more surprises around this area. There are plenty of small shops compared with Yong Kang Street. We like to visit places love by local rather than just a touristy spot. Plan your visit timing around late afternoon till night time, so you are able to experience different vibe of this place.

A great place that can walk A place that have air conditioner and so chill There’s many shop also that people can shop here So glad that there’s a place everyone can have fun here Wish in Taipei will be more like this place

A mall inside the Taipei Main Station. Every thing you desire can be found here. From high end leather goods, to simple souvenirs.

This mall is an underground link between Taipei Main station, zhongsan mrt and shuanglian mrt station. Lots of shops along the way. Its smaller than Taipei City Mall but looks cleaner and newer.

An underground mall connects between Taipei Mall Station and ZhongShan Metro Stations, similar to East Metro Mall Generally, only clothing, hair salon outlets and other fashions outlets with minimum f&b stores.

A popular shopping mall with many interesting shops and no worry for rainy days...(shops might be different if they don't renew the rental upon the expiry date.)

It's one of the places in downtown Taipei City where you can take a walk without the sweaty effect of burning sun or steaming heat. You can get to many places with this underground passage. Even though the stores inside are less interesting for tourists.

Nice shopping mall. Have taxes free! I enjoy shopping here because I just walk 🚶‍♂️ 7 mins from Mandarin oriental,Taipei hotel to here. There are supermarkets , bakery shops, comestic, fashion shops and restaurants. It is a nice shopping mall for family or single tour. One of my favorite shops is Maison De Fleur. I am very surprised that there has Mary quart x Maison De Fleur products. The sales told me that Japan shops were sold out!

We were in Xinyi district today, and we saw the Aston Martin F1 collab with Glenfiddich outside of Breeze Nan Shan! The place was packed with families and friends who were trying to get a good photo of the race car. 🏎️ Looking at the crowd, I can’t help but wonder if F1 would come to Taiwan for its Grand Prix some time in the future!

If you like UNIQLO or one piece / anime that shopping center is for you! The UNIQLO shop is sooo big you can literally find everything here. You can even design your own shirt for a fair price! Just got a shirt with some Taipei dragon tempel designs on it - perfect unique souvenir! You just have to wait 15-20 min to take it with you. There is also a shop were you can buy large one piece action figures (see pictures attached). Also many dining options like Chinese Hot Pot, Korean BBQ and Japanese food.

Very much enjoyed shopping here. Like most other higher shopping mall in the area, the interior design is excellent. Came on a Tuesday late afternoon/evening and it’s fairly empty. However, it does appears to boasts many good Japanese dinning options which I am a fan of. The basement high end grocery store is also awesome (albeit on the pricey side). Would recommend to start at 101 and make your way here for dinning.

Great location with world class shopping. And great views from restaurants on 46, 47 and 48th floors like Smith and Wollensky. Next to Taipei 101. Close to Red and Blue lines on MRT.

Modern expensive shopping center next Taipei 101 beautiful high rise. Cool pop up booth market for alcohol and food. Had tea wine ++ with William salesman. Beautiful high end ceramics and crafts at xiaoqi store.

Very cool elegant shopping mall with different from the norm shops and a good mix of eateries. We tried the small Teppanyaki restaurant, and it was very good, and inexpensive compared to the norm. Convenient location adjacent to Taipei 101 & definitely worth a visit.

This historical building has a very nice architecture, and the exterior of the building is used as a bar street in the evening where you can find bars serving up some music and alcohol while the open areas are used for pop up events and exhibitions. The interior of the building has been converted into smaller handicraft boutiques and a cafe. In the middle is the display of its history.

This is a heritage building, and inside display arts, cultures, souvenirs and more. It's surrounding by shops, restaurants and pretty much a prime LBGTQ areas. There are a few gay bars and some shops behind the building only opened at nite. There's where you meet people, friends and hangout at night. This is wide open busy and safe area, also a subway point. I always come here to meet my friends when I visit Taipei.

As an art lover,i love this place. You can find local handmade items such as stickers, or these wooden thingy. I would recommend this place to others🥰

If you are visiting the ever popular touristy Ximending, then this is a not to miss spot. It sits right outside of the pedestrian only area of Ximending and you can’t really miss it. The architecture features of this bike building by themselves were worth my visit. This used to be an old theater (opera house) that has been converted into an indoor exhibit/shopping area that showcases Taiwan’s younger generation talents of arts & crafts. It is also a nice place to pick up unique souvenirs for friend and family back home. It has volunteer conducted tours (we didn’t have the time for it, but it should be worth your while if interested in old Taipei history). The whole place had A/C, areas to rest, clean bathrooms and a nice Tea Cafe. Although it probably didn’t warrant a special trip, but if you are already in the area, then you should check it out.

This is an iconic historical building in the heart of Ximending. Inside, there is a large toilet, small cafe, and many local businesses. This is a fantastic place to buy souvenirs for friends and family back home — most vendors are local illustrators and crafters, and many sell merchandise that feature famous sightseeing spots in Taiwan such as Jiufen, Shifen, Taipei 101, and so on. I really love the range of works displayed, and couldn’t help but buy a few postcards and keychains from the following artists (Instagram usernames in brackets): Ni Hao Club (@littleyellowstudio), Cornet Cat (@corner_catt), Littdlework (@littdlework) and miimiicat (@miimiicat), Humor Star @twinkle_twinkle_humor_star). Hope to see more of their works around! Also, on the upper floor, there are more stalls and a small display of local biodiversity which I really liked too.

Conserved heritage building near the LGBT area in Ximending as told by our walking tour guide. Interesting enough the toilet sign says "All Gender Toilet", a first time for me using it 😜 Little stalls line the insides selling cute stationery and souvenirs.

Red House, iconic landmark of Taiwan, this place is now a shopping area with small local brands inside, there is also a coffee shop in which I ordered a red tea from. Ximen is a must visit for everyone that comes to Taiwan.

Taipei 101 is more than just a tall building. It is a perfect blend of: · Cultural Symbolism (pagoda design, lucky number 8) · Cutting-Edge Engineering (the damper, earthquake resistance) · Tourist Attraction (observatories, shopping) · Environmental Consciousness (green building features). Weather was bad so I didnt go to the observatory desk, may be visited next time.

This mall is definitely one of the most popular spots in the area, with plenty of luxury brands inside. However, even if you’re traveling on a budget, it’s still worth visiting. You can stop by the food court for lunch — the food quality is great, the prices are reasonable, and the portions are just right. The building itself is beautiful and really tall, making it a perfect place for photos or a quick check-in. And if you have time, I recommend going up to the observatory to enjoy a stunning view of the city from above.

We went up to the observation deck, but found it mot as impressive as other skyline views. Very busy. Found the tourist VAT promotion not so worth it so didn’t utilize them. I saw Michelle Yeoh!

Taipei 101 is truly a landmark worth visiting! The tower itself is stunning, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city from the observatory. The shopping center at the base is just as impressive — it’s modern, clean, and filled with high-end brands, stylish boutiques, and a great mix of local and international shops. Dining options are fantastic too — from elegant restaurants to quick bites in the food court, all with a wide variety of cuisines. Everything is well-organized and easy to navigate.

I heard it's a landmark in Taiwan, but it wasn't as large as I expected. There aren't many brands available either. If you search for brands you want, like Bellavita, you won't make a wasted trip. When I visited, they were having a Van Cleef pop-up event, and it was very impressive. As with all department stores, the underground food court is the busiest. In particular, Din Tai Fung is always on a wait list, so I recommend going to another branch. Because we approved a duplex store to a luxury brand, the store size was large, but there weren't many products. If you're staying at the Hyatt, it's connected by the skywalk, so it's worth a visit.

Taipei 101 is the landmark of Taipei. Located in a major business area this skyscraper has shops, restaurants and of course viewing floors on the topmost floors. The views are astonishing once you reach the top, being able to see the entire Taipei City at night, if the weather is good you would be able to see Songshan airport as well. A must visit for those staying in Taipei. This is also quite educational as you can learn how the tower resists earthquakes. Multiple souvenir shops also exist around the entire building in too and bottom floor. I recommend pre purchasing tickets online.

From the moment we stepped inside, we were immediately greeted by polished interiors and an undoubtedly upscale atmosphere. It’s home to a wide array of luxury brands, fine dining restaurants, and other stylish boutiques. If you're a shopaholic, don't forget to add this place to your itinerary.

There's not much selection, but better than nothing. They have Taiwanese snacks that are not available in convenience stores and is the only Taiwanese snacks that's good. Their RTE products are very good & cheap for Taiwan standards. It is very crowded, not many tables to eat at, and dirty.

Great location. DO NOT come on a weekend as the traffic and line up could take you hours. The selection is vast and the prices are okay. Parking is plentiful but hard to get in and out on weekends.

From a foreigner’s perspective: 5🌟 Lots of great Asian snack, fresh food, and groceries. We were in heaven!! I was most excited about getting imported Japanese A4 Wagyu. Can’t wait to come back

Really crowded but have lots of options on snacks and ready to eat food. They sell a lot of the same things as in the US

Great place to shop in Taiwan, especially if you're in a hurry to buy lots of things.

A bit chaotic at the weekend, especially if you plan to park there. You also have to go up to the 1st floor in order to access the ground floor. So if you’re only there to buy food, it’s a bit of a drag having to go up one floor then down again.

A lot of Taiwan original food. Can find Japanese, Korean food as well.

This department store had a really fun, youthful vibe. So many different options, especially for clothes. It was easy to spend time just browsing around. There were lots of food choices too, which was great if you needed a break. The photo booth on the ground floor was a nice little touch.

Upscale shopping mall with many interesting and appealing shops. Excellent outdoor food plaza with great dining options. Definitely worth a visit while in the area. The Diner on the ground level is a great place for an American style meal.

It’s a nice and unique spot, I had a great time visiting.

This is a place for younger people because the stores are more casual and especially more affordable compared to Taipei 101, like Pull & Bear, Forever 21,etc. There are many quick bites sold here, like popcorn chicken, bubble tea, McD, etc. I love there is park in front, so everyone can sit enjoying the good evenings there.

Best department store in xinyi district. It has everything you need. Clothing shops, toy shops, restaurants, bars, clubs and more!

I went to Franks Sunday night. Drinks are a little pricey. Unfortunately rooddeck with Taipei 101 was closed when we visited, but overall ambiance is ok. Very hospitable staff.

Great place!! Different kind of food, great street performance, awesome design accordingly to the luxury store near by.

Always love to shop at Eslite. Here there are even more services, they have a food court, cafe, bookstore, music store and even a movie theatre!

A one stop shop for everything you need - food court, cafe, bookstore, music store, etc….. Love that the bookstore is opened 24 hours!

Slightly on the expensive end but it was a great experience for their craftsman workshop. Tried the Candle Crafting workshop for about $1,400 NTD, good experience. Food there was good too, tho expensive. Place is also very convenient, 10-15minutes walk to the nearest MRT station.

Great bookstore full of every type of book you can imagine, cafe to chill in (requires a NT 200 order though), but it’s easy to leaf through pages of the books and there’s some free areas to sit. The whole area is nice in general

Had higher expectations for this one. I liked the Ximen store where they had more different price ranges and interesting stores, this one is more high end. Book store on top is nice, they have an English section and part of that section is for Taiwanese/Asian authors, so if you are looking for local authors i highly recommend.

I love this place! I was here for an entire 6hours, especially at the stationery section and CD area. Eslite music area- Bought a few Beatles digital remastered CDs. They have a lot of old vinyl records and players. Eslite stationery area- bought a few Jellycat items for my colleagues who are crazy about them and 2 cheeky little signboards to put at my desk. Eslite Handicraft area- bought a few Vancanza handmade bracelets for myself & friends as souvenirs. Eslite cafe near the tax refund area- The cafe staff near the tax refund area is also very kind & helpful, even though I’m not a customer, he gave me guidance as I pass-by that the tax refund counter is there.

Decided to visit here last minute the day before my flight back to Malaysia. I love the fact that it’s open 24/7 and easy to access. I also enjoyed the atmosphere. It’s huge but cozy, and I felt comfortable spending my time there alone. I was there for 3 hours and felt like buying all the interesting books, if only I didn’t have the luggage weight limit.🥹 They have a small selection of English books as well! I ended up getting the books shown in the photos! I was also surprised to see Egon Schiele’s art books there.🤩 I felt safe leaving the bookstore at 11PM and walking back to my hotel, which was a 30-minute walk. There were guards downstairs, and the staff were all still there too when I left!

Just a small night market compared with the more popular ones like Raohe and Shilin, but otherwise still good food choices. There's a nice aunty selling stinky tofu, you have the choice to put in spicy sauce which was SPICY. Plus there's a good hot boba milk tea here that is a must try. Went back two times to buy this drink.

The food market in the Gongguan area is a very interesting place. There are many kinds of food to try, and also lots of shoe shops to browse and buy from. It's also easy to get to since it's close to the train station.

Gongguan is a night market for the vegetarians!! I never see it talked about but there are so many good options. The Gua Bao stall offers vegetarian pork, the banh mi and Dan bing can be veggie, there’s a new vegan fried foods/chicken stall, vegan stinky tofu, tteokbokki and more! All real tasty too:)

Good foods! Overall most finds & wasn't that dissappointing for taste in night market. I enjoyed both times here despite the rainy night in my second visit with my brother.

Small night market, but lots of traditional food!

Taiwanese night markets are very interesting to explore as plenty of food options can be found.I strongly recommend you to try Scallion pancakes and sweet potato balls in gongguan night market if you visit as the cost of the items are student friendly..

Small night market with many hidden gems. Worth a visit. The che lun bing at the end of the street is worth a try.

Popular walking district with tons of shops. There are not many places to sit and people watch, unfortunately. You'll find some "just okay" food here, but if you search, you can find really good street food down the alley ways. It's a safe and fun vibe here.

Lively and colorful area that’s fun to explore. There are tons of shops, street food, and quirky spots around every corner. The atmosphere is energetic especially at night with all the lights and music. It can get really crowded but that’s part of the charm. Great place to eat, shop, and just enjoy the vibe of Taipei. Street food here isn’t quite the same as it used to be but it’s still worth trying.

The Ximen walking area is the most popular place to shop, eat, and socialize in this part of town. If you’re in XMD, you’ll end up here and probably have a great time. Nearby is the Red House area and a thousand and one bars, restaurants, gift shops, salons, movie theaters, food stands. Perfect place to wander around, especially when the sun sets. I highly recommend at least two visits here.

You have not been to Taiwan if you did not visit ximengding. The mother of all night market. Place is packed with the young and trendy. Fashion, food and souvenir galore. Spoiled by choices available. Pricing still reasonable. Managed to tried out the sotong noodle as the wait time is the least. Good meal with a starchy base. The white bitter gourd drink is also another winner

Most well known walking district in Taipei, comprising many stores that sells a variety of items such as souvenirs and more. There are also many things going on in this district, with many eateries of variety cuisines. There are also taxi drivers offering one day tours at the entrance. The famous rainbow road is near the MRT entrance.

This place is just like Myeongdong of Taipei because its so vibrant and packed with people especially at night 🥳 there are lots of street vendors as well as branded shops with variety of options 👍 I especially love Xing Fu Tang drinks with a dinosaur torch 🦖 we booked our hotel around here and it was so convenient and easy to stroll around at night. Definitely would come here again ❤️

Busy, crowded, but has good food, entertainment, shopping. Recommend heading over to the Graffiti area to take a break. Try the crispy milk donuts and boba milk tea.

A new and young landmark of Taipei city. Not a major attraction per se but a lot of live-style leisure and creative artistic shops hiding here. Food options are amazing. Don’t forget to walk in those small lanes! Little surprises are here and there. Leave some appetite before you come here. Food diversity is amazing! A lot of the restaurants offer AC, it is a live saver during hot days. 0.5-1 day trip for your short visit. If you are local, it is this place you could come when you don’t feel like going anywhere else.

Its an ok station but there is a lot of people there and the trains are full are peak times. It is a good station but there is a bit too much people. The shops underneath are really good though and the train station is good when there isn't tooo many people that the trains are full. There are so many places here you can get lost easily. There are a lot of bathrooms in the station and you can walk around for like an hour + There are shops here like mister donut and souvenir shops but yeah. I don't have many photos.

It’s absolutely one of my favourite MRT station in Taipei due to its great diversity of delicious foods and desserts. It is also surrounded by 3 department stores (2 different buildings of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi & Eslite Spectrum) and only about 5-10 minutes away from one of the must go night markets, Ningxia Night Market.

nice and clean. many events here on weendend or weekday. great atmosphere on the area. Deparent stores and chill streets are surrouding ths area.

Yes this is one of the busiest areas in Taipei and also one of the most consumerist, but it has a young vibe and the space above the subway station is pleasant.

There're public restrooms for passengers in every MRT station. New and clean!

The tea selection was excellent and the prices incredibly reasonable. The staff couldn't have been more helpful... Very knowledgeable and kind.

During a recent visit to a local tea shop, I encountered a disappointing experience that left a sour impression. From the moment I stepped in, the shop assistant displayed a noticeably dismissive attitude—barely making eye contact, offering curt responses, and behaving as though my presence was an inconvenience. Rather than welcoming me or allowing time to browse, they seemed intent on rushing me out, creating an atmosphere that felt uninviting and pressured. The lack of basic courtesy and warmth made the shopping experience uncomfortable and far from the relaxing moment I had hoped for.

Highly discourage shopping here. Staff tried to be helpful but it seems the direction of the boss is to prioritize customers that appear to be more affluent. They were reluctant to let me try the teas before buying. When pressed, they stated customers were allowed to try 1 tea. My impression is they do not see you as a customer if you don’t outwardly exhibit wealth.

This is the place to go to get Gaoshan Oolong (High Mountain Oolong) and tea sets. There is one employee who speaks decent English and very good Japanese. You can ask to try one flavor of tea. The smallest increment of purchase is 150g. Then it goes up by 150g up to 600g. The prices listed on the barrels are for 600g. They can vacuum seal the tea for you in house and package them with bubble wrap for easy packing into luggage without worry of damage.

The older gentlemen who served us were more polite and just explained flavor profiles of tea. When we asked if we could try out a dong ding oolong tea, the younger gentleman said you can only taste one tea. It didn't feel welcoming and how can you smell 回甘when we are limited to sampling. We reluctantly bought 2 small bags of tea and I'm glad I didn't buy in bulk here. Saw a japanese lady come in to buy in bulk and they seemed more welcoming her than other tourists. Not gonna come back.

Tea: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ambience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Value: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Actually a very nice teashop, with all the tea stored in metal barrels with the prices on top. It might look expensive but each price is per 600g, with the minimum purchase of 150g of any tea. They allow you to only try (a small amount) of one tea. The staff seem to speak a variety of languages. They have some teas they claim that other places don't have, like real Tieguanyin. I'm not tea expert so can't vouch for the validity of these statements! Tea comes in plastic bags, so if you're looking for tea as a gift, you might want to purchase from elsewhere (although they do sell presentation tins here).

My foreign friend love tea , Come here with him. And according his saying, it is very affordable prize 😂😆 I am not the tea lover , but he does. You can use credit card and the clerk is very nice, enjoy your tea shopping 🤩 S短評：老闆說很多俄羅斯人跟日本人來買！Russia 🤔

Very lovely historical building, a landmark of Ximending. We came for the weekend market and it has lotsa handicrafts and fun items. Shops are outside and inside the building. The interior is very nicely renovated to refresh the historical roots of the building.

The Red House located near Ximending walking district is a colonial house designed during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan and is now a preserved heritage house. It served as one of the most iconic landmark and is known to even us non locals as one of the places to visit in Taiwan due to its uniqueness among the ever bustling concrete jungle that is Taipei Taiwan. This is one of the upscale, contemporary places one can visit that offers quite an assortment of goods. I bought my mother a hello kitty music box, I found it accidentally roaming inside the Red House. Scented Bricks made from old bricks of the Red House is a good purchase also. The market inside is as unique as the stalls, contemporary, unique and a novelty. Aside from its historic significance and the history lessons inside the Red House this is one of the best places to shop for good quality goods. Support local as they say.

Historic buildings that have been renovated and repurposed as areas for local creative industries are always fun. It’s nice that they showcase some of the history of this gorgeous building, too. A bustling shopping area.

The Red House, Ximen, was built during Japanese rule & designed by Kondo Juro. It was built in 1908 and now becomes a beautiful marketplace, worth visiting. The red house' interior was fully renovated into a modern setting. There were cute lego display in different settings around Taipei. There were many cute merchandise to purchase in there, too. I bought some Taiwanese Food post cards in the marketplace. I had to purchase them, just because they're too cute to be true. The Red House is part of Taipei's history & cultural heritage, that's why it's a must visit when you are in Taipei!

20251005 - located just across ximending area, this building now houses variety of shops selling different things that are mostly local. Place offers free wifi and aircon and makes it a good place to chill during the hot weather. Managed to buy local brand perfume as souvenior.

So many things to look at and see! Interesting place though. The Riverside Live House Corporation Ltd. took control of the horizontal section of the main Cruciform Building in September 2008. It hosts concerts by students and musicians from Thursday throughout the weekend. The building was converted into a theater in 2007, and has since become a popular part of the gay scene in the neighborhood. It is the site of the annual gay New Year’s Eve countdown and the Taipei Pride and the Mr. Gay World Taiwan pageant. It was the venue of the Wikimania 2007 Party, which included a short film festival. In 2017, the main lantern of the Taiwan Lantern Festival was displayed on the square of the Red House, attracting numerous international visitors.

It is a small museum. You can learn about history of Camphor and relationships of it to Taiwan. Moreover, this place also good for your kids to learn about global environment problems.

ecently tried the fried oyster and oyster mee sua at a local hawker stall, and both dishes were absolutely satisfying examples of classic comfort food done right.

Small sized Sogo with some luxury brands. What i like about this Sogo is there are some very good restaurants hidden on top of the buidling and some superb cafe on the B1.

Thus is,a great mall. Very few,parking spots on a,weekday so it must be very popular. We,only went to the restaurant but I'll try to go back there some time and shop.

Yummy Peking duck served with two sauces: a honey citrus and a traditional hoisin sauce. Delicious pineapple bbq bun, a must order.

Great place to shop and have a late lunch. Convenient

Almost everything is delicious! Worth the money

The food court in B1 is popular during lunch time. If you want to come over here for lunch, you better to arrive earlier. Upper floor has department store. Actually, I like the supermarket more due to the good inside are imported from different place. You can buy Yukurt from Europe or Ramen from japan.

I was told to visit this mall, specifically the GU store for some excellent clothing deals. However, the prices were that great and overall, I don’t see Taipei stores having much deals at all. Does everyone here pay full price? Anyway, the mall itself is big and clean. We only went to Uniqlo and GU.

4 floors of Uniqlo+ 1 floor of GU. I floor of UT - design your T shirt and Pokemon Taiwan T shirts For Uniqlo and Pokemon fans.

A vertical department store. Every level belongs to a different big name brand store such as uniqlo, GU, daiso etc. Best place to come for toilet breaks after walking at zhongxiao dunhua small boutiques. There is also a cafe at B1, perfect for a coffee break.

Got some good deals with the shoe stores and as you can see it’s packed very nicely. Tax refund etc can all be processed here.

Extensive selections at a convenient location. Elevator and escalator services. Most of the staff speak some English.

A long time popular department store with convenient location by MRT, fronted on Zhong Xiang East Road in the East CBD district in Taipei. The store provides various brand shops and restaurants and many various daily consuming shops and store in the surrounding neighborhood. Nice and easy place to shop, eat, or killing time.

Located on bustling Zhongxiao East Road, MING YAO Department Store is a well-established fixture in Taipei's shopping scene. While it might not have the luxury focus of some high-end malls, it offers a diverse mix of products at accessible prices, making it a worthwhile destination for bargain hunters and those looking for functional finds.

(Translated by Google) There are not many stalls here, and most of them are people with geographical connections who come to buy fresh food. However, it faces the entrance of Roosevelt Road, and there is a constant queue of people at this noodle shop. In addition to pasta, it also sells Vietnamese rice noodles and spring rolls. The stall on the left is most famous for its fried rice and Sishen soup. It is also a queue stall and it is not very cheap. Please come early tomorrow after 12 noon. Tasty and expensive is acceptable. (Original) 這個並没有很多攤位，大多是－些有地缘關係的人來採購生鮮食品，但它面對羅斯福路的門囗，－家麵店是人龍不斷，除了麵食也有越南米線、春卷。左邊攤位最有名是油飯、四神湯，也昰排隊的攤位而且没有很便宜，中午12點多就明天請早。好吃貴一點是可接受。

(Translated by Google) The declining traditional morning market has more stalls open around 7:30 to 8:00, and closes around 13:00. It is closed on Mondays. There are two entrances to Heping East Road, one is a fruit stall (this one is There is a flower stall and a paid parking lot next to it. The other entrance is a halal beef shop (this one has a storefront and is open until night). After entering, there are vegetable stalls, noodle stalls, butchers, fresh fish, and braised meat. , pig's feet, fried chicken, grains, clothes, pots and pans, etc. are all available, but the ground and shelter are old. There is also a 70-year-old Shandong noodle shop at the entrance to the alley toward the National Normal University, where you can buy dumpling wrappers or a variety of freshly made noodles on the day (my mother likes it very much and always asks me to come here to buy it). The entrance to Roosevelt Road is a shop with oily rice, taro rice noodles Both noodle stalls are doing very well. There are not many seats, so takeout is recommended. This place is not suitable for bringing children, and it is not convenient to push a stroller in. If you want to experience a very traditional feeling, walk in and walk around for a while, then come out and see the high-rise buildings and neat city scenery outside. You can sigh at the change of time and space. (Original) 沒落的傳統早市，要7:30到8:00左右才有較多的攤子營業，大概13:00左右就收了，週一休息，和平東路入口有兩處，一處是水果攤（這間有營業到晚上）旁邊有鮮花攤和收費停車場，另一處入口是清真牛肉店（這間有店面，營業到晚上），進去後，菜攤、麵攤、肉販、鮮魚、滷味、豬腳、油雞、五穀雜糧、衣服鍋碗瓢盆等等都有，只是地面與遮棚老舊。往師大方向的巷子出入口還有一家70年的山東切面店可以買餃子皮或各種當天現作的生麵條（我媽很喜歡總讓我特地過來買），羅斯福路入口是油飯芋頭米粉和麵攤，兩家生意都很好，座位不多，建議外帶。這裡較不適合帶小孩逛，也不方便推嬰兒車入內，想要體驗非常傳統的感覺，走進去繞一圈再出來看到外面的高樓和整潔的市景，倒是可以有時空轉換的感嘆。

(Translated by Google) One of the few remaining old markets in Taipei City, it was about to be renovated more than ten years ago, but it has been delayed due to many factors. When the market was still there, there were a lot of people buying it. Later, due to the reconstruction, the stalls were moved away one after another. However, due to the failure of the reconstruction, the area declined and turned into a large parking lot. After dark, except for the entrance part facing Roosevelt Road and Heping East Road, There are one or two stalls outside the business, so it can be said to be deserted. Fortunately, it has been confirmed that action will begin after April 25 this year. We hope to transform it into a functional building and restore the bustling bustle of the past. (Original) 台北市僅剩的幾個老市場之一，十幾年前就要改建，因許多因素延宕至今。以前市場還在時，購買人潮很多，後因要改建，攤商陸續遷移走，但因為未改建成功造成此地區沒落變成一大停車場，入夜後除了面臨羅斯福路、和平東路的入口部分還有一、兩家攤商在營業外，可以說是一片冷清。幸好今年的4月25日以後己確定要開始動作了，希望改建成功能恢復往日的繁華熱鬧。

(Translated by Google) Guting Market is more like a business place in a short alley.
