#Taipei Attractions The first thing that makes people feel good about Taipei is its food. The first thing that makes people feel good about food is the night market. There are many famous night markets in Taipei, and Raohe Night Market is definitely one of the night markets that Hong Kong people must visit, shop and eat at. Raohe Night Market is more than 600 meters long. In the evening, all the food stalls start to work. (During the day, Raohe Night Market is just a road! 😆) Before I even started shopping, I ate a few baskets of different flavors of xiao long bao.

Shilin Night Market has got to be some of the best street food in all of Taipei. And what a place this is for my favourite activity of all, eating. So big, so much diverse, great food, wonderful vibe. Of course, super cheap as well, like all the best great street food. They also had some stores for accessories, clothing, handbags etc. Later in the night (after8pm) you may find some special vendors with imitation goods. Good friend cold noodles - started off at the Shilin Night Market with a banger - GFCN won several Michelin bib gourmand stars in a row and for its price point, quality, and simplicity, I get it. Not much English spoken here but you dont need it either. There’s literally 4 ingriedients and you can add meat if you want. The cold sesame noodles were just amazing. We got a large and wished we could eat more. Since the noodles were top notch, we opted to try their miso soup as well which they literally take boiling water and add egg to and then serve it so it can be really hot. A small is 60NTD and large is 75NTD - the difference not being much so just get the large. Cash only - this place can sometimes have a line but they do have a small seating area. French fries - why people were lining up for this simple French fry place was really interesting - they made super long French fries after which they could add cheese, pepper, Nori, or chilli. Then you had the option to add as much of 7 different sauces as you wanted (mayo, tomato, lemon, mango, honey mustard, sweet and sour, and one more) Cheng Zu - worth the wait! This Michelin rated pepper bun place makes fresh out the oven pepper buns with either beef or pork. They speak some more English than others and even had a fountain you could use to wash your hands in. We got a beef pepper bun and wish we got 2 more. One bit into it had all the juices coming out and the beef was cooked just right. The bun itself was the perfect ratio of dough to meat and also cooked just enough so that it was chewy but not too raw. I highly recommend this place - so much so that we keep thinking about going back! Temple vermicelli noodles - This stall was located at the corner of the street right in front of the temple. They had a small wait and a large menu. we got just noodle soup, large size. The soup had a pretty good miso like flavor and they added thickening to make it less like a broth and more like a stew. The noodles were vermicelli. This was good and would recommend for people to try but if I were returning, I’d save the calories for another pepper bun. I also had a chance to try some guava juice and papaya milk (which is basically a papaya smoothie). Both were excellent. #taipeiattractions

Taipei captivated me instantly. Its blend of tradition and modernity, coupled with its incredibly easy-to-navigate MRT system (get an EasyCard!), made exploring a breeze. My base at Sotetsu Hotel near Ximending was perfect, right by an MRT entrance. A tip for May visitors: it rains, so pack an umbrella! Food was a highlight. Shilin Night Market was a sensory explosion of street food – don't miss the huge fried chicken cutlets! For sit-down meals, Wulao Hotpot is a must-try, and Two Peak Fried Chicken is perfect for a quick, delicious bite. Beyond the food, I explored. Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall was grand, and I loved the changing of the guard. Day trips included the Taipei Zoo, the magical sky lanterns at Shifen, the charming Jiufen Old Street, and the unique rock formations at Yehliu. Taipei 101 offered stunning city views. While Xinyi District shopping was pricey, Mitsui Outlet provided better deals. However, Taipei truly shines for its food and friendly local vibe, less so for extensive shopping. The people of Taipei are incredibly warm and hospitable, making every interaction a pleasure. As I left, my stomach full and heart content, I knew I'd be back. Taipei's vibrant culture, delicious cuisine, and unforgettable charm had truly won me over.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 📍Address: Shilin Night Market The happy sweet potato balls at Shilin Night Market are irresistibly delicious!

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 📍Address: The loyal taste of Shilin Night Market The oil pan of "Loyalty" was boiling, and the stinky tofu swelled into a golden balloon in the hot oil. When served, the skin crackles with a snap, revealing sponge-like pores. Dip it in garlic soy sauce and pair it with crispy kimchi, and the stinky smell turns into a rich fragrance. The pig heart soup is clear but not bland, and the shredded ginger brings out the sweetness of the internal organs; the squid rice soup is thickened with a thin starch, the squid rings are chewy, and a spoonful of black vinegar makes it more appetizing. The plastic stools are crowded with gourmets, and the proprietress is running around delivering dishes. This old-fashioned flavor has remained as loyal as ever for thirty years.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 📍Address． : Shilin Night Market Today I passed by a small shop with many people. I looked around and found out that they serve noodle soup. I went in to taste it immediately. The simple noodle soup is really good. First of all, there are many different ingredients to choose from, but I like to eat clear soup rice noodles. The taste is quite rich and has the taste of chicken soup. The texture is very fine. A simple afternoon tea here is enough

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 📍Address: Shilin Night Market The difference of the Japanese night in Shilin District. This time, I went to Joyce Night Market in the morning and felt very fresh because all the shops were not open. It felt very comfortable and comfortable. There were also many old-style buildings. It was nice to check in. I also saw a museum when I passed by, but it was a pity that it was not open yet. It was rainy in the morning. Compare the two worlds at night.

This flash Taipei one-on-one family trip is mainly for relaxation and fun! Since taking children to avoid too hard, this time chose the noon flight, about two o'clock to Taoyuan Airport, take the luggage to check the immigration procedures and then take the MRT to the hotel (see Tan Po Tour) about five o'clock! Day.1 The first night ended with a walk in Ximending and then back to Shilin Night Market to play! Day.2 eat breakfast to Taipei Municipal Children's Park, this park is absolutely affordable, a large and small admission has 13 rides free to play only HKD too about $ 110 or so, a small number of games need to be charged, play back to the hotel to rest for a while at night to Taipei Station to find food! Day.3 Since my child loves Pokemon, I took him to Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Pokemon Center on the third day to buy merchandise and play games. Another 10 minutes walk to the MRT station departure PaPark Crawler Parent-Child Park - Nangang CITIC Store to let him discharge for two hours, I sat back in the massage chair in the venue for half an hour, After playing, we finally went to Ximending to buy souvenirs and went back to the hotel to pack our bags! Day.4 get up check out down Taipei Station walk for a while directly to the airport to end this trip! This trip did not go too many places, mainly take the children outside to see and play, in fact, looking back at this trip are a bit of a waste of time to go to very few places, but we can refer to it 🤣

Shilin Night Market This is the largest night market in Taipei! I had a variety of Taiwanese food here 😋 The giant chicken pie (jipai) that is bigger than a human hand is one of the specialties! 🍗 Unlike Japanese fried chicken, it has a lot of bones inside, so you need to be careful when eating it ⚠️ But the satisfaction of eating a large fried chicken is out of this world 😂 There were also several stalls where you could fish for shrimp! 🦐 100 NTD for 7 rods per play, and I was able to catch 4 shrimp 👍 I was able to play, catch more than I expected, and have them grilled on the spot, so it was the most fun memory I had at the night market 🙌 I thought it was a place with a particularly wide variety of shops among the night markets, so please go and visit! Address: No. 101, Jihe Rd, Shilin District, Taipei City, Taiwan 111 Access: 10 minutes walk from Taipei Metro Jiantan Station #Spring0yentrip #Taiwan #Taipei #Taiwantrip #ShilinNightMarket

After praying at Guandu Temple, on the way back, stop by Shilin Market to find something to eat. There was so much food and so many people, lol. There weren't many places to sit and eat. Every area was full of shops and people. After buying, we had to hide and eat in the temple in that area. There were many delicious foods. Try it once and you'll love it. It's very easy to get there. Take the MRT Red Line and get off at Jiantan Station R15. Walk a little bit and you'll get there. #Night Market #Taipei

#earthdayjourney #nightmarkets #taiwan I began in Taipei, at the ever-popular Shilin Night Market. The aroma of fried chicken, stinky tofu, and sweet bubble tea filled the air as I weaved through a maze of stalls. I tried the famous giant fried chicken cutlet—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside—and chased it with a cup of taro milk tea. There were carnival games, street performers, and locals bargaining over quirky souvenirs. Next stop: Raohe Night Market. Smaller but more traditional, this market welcomed me with the glow of the ornate Ciyou Temple at its entrance. I joined the line for pepper buns (hújiāo bǐng), watching as they were baked in clay ovens right in front of me. The flaky, spicy meat-filled pastries were worth every second of the wait. My walking tour through them wasn’t just about food; it was about discovering the heart of Taiwan, one delicious bite at a time.

[Walk from Shilin Station to Shilin Tourist Night Market and enjoy freshly made seafood street food] 🗓️Itinerary management: When we visited, we took the Pingxi Line during the day and got off at Shilin to go to Shilin Tourist Night Market. It is a shorter route from Jiantan Station, but if you want to go to the night market on your way back from sightseeing during the day or visiting the National Palace Museum, or if you want to avoid the crowds, we recommend going from Shilin. 📍Exit MRT Shilin Station Exit 2 and walk straight to the second intersection of Fude Rd → Turn left onto Dadong Rd and go straight → Pass the roundabout → Enter through the gate of Shilin Night Market. On the way back, go from Jiantan to the station closest to the accommodation 🖼️Ming Jue Fine Arts Shilin is also a student town. This cram school specializes in art education and sends students who have studied in Taipei to art universities and higher professional design schools throughout Taiwan, mainland China, and Asian countries. Students study all day in glass-walled studios, and classical realistic paintings are always lined up in the windows. Although it is not a tourist spot, the works are quite impressive. I was allowed to look at the works without being a nuisance. 📍Address: No. 82-3, Dadong Rd, Shilin District, Taipei City, Taiwan 111 🌃To Shilin Tourist Night Market! Shilin Tourist Night Market has outdoor food stalls as well as a complex of fresh fish shops with fish tanks that mainly handle seafood and restaurants. If you enter there, you can sit down and eat seafood fresh from the tank without getting wet even on rainy days. The market as a whole is a place of rest for parents and children of Taiwanese workers who have very long days, and children can play safely even after 10pm. In addition to restaurants, there are also Sunday goods and casual apparel stores with bright colors typical of Taiwan, so it is also useful for procuring clothes. 🕰️Opening hours: 16PM to Midnight 📍Location: No. 101, Jihe Rd, Shilin District, Taipei City, Taiwan 111 🍌Recommended menu 🌝How to choose a food stall: Buy from a place that doesn't have pre-prepared food and has a high turnover rate and serves freshly made food. Taiwanese food stalls also have a high proportion of meat, potato, and flour dishes, and new dishes are created and disappeared day and night, but the combination of seafood and vegetables is always delicious when ordered from a place with fresh ingredients. 🥢Oyster Omelet: Okonomiyaki with a dough and sauce that has the stickiness of potato starch. If you like QQ, you should definitely try it. It's delicious with a lot of fresh oysters and cabbage. 🥢Stir-fried razor clams: Delicious with basil, oyster sauce, garlic, and sake 🥬Stir-fried water spinach: Delicious with chili peppers, garlic, and sake 🦑Squid soup: Boiled with freshly delivered squid 🐽Sausage: Meat dishes and fried foods are of consistent quality, and Taiwanese sausages are spicy 🥭🍍Greengrocer: Freshly sliced ​​fruit. 🍓Fruit candy: Popular with children. 🍋🍋🟩Aiyu: This is something you should try in the original place, not in a Tokyo store. The refreshing jelly made from vegetable gelatin is also well-chilled and freshly served, so order it when it's ready. 🍠Freshly baked sweet potatoes: They are sold not only at night markets, but also on foot in the city during the day. You're lucky if you come across a variety with a deep sweet potato color and high sugar content. #0yentravel2025February #Taiwanesefood #Taiwantrip #Taiwan

The mushrooms, known for their meaty texture, are grilled over a flame until they’re perfectly tender, allowing their natural flavors to shine through.
