Vacations and World TravelVisiting our beautiful city? Come stay at the Arbutus Vista - Vancouver's Bed & Breakfast.
How was your trip? Which tour packages would you recommend/avoid? Must do's and must eats? Share tips, photos and experiences with other senior RS members who just want to get away..
finding a place to eat in Taipei is the least you should be worry about. Especially for cheap/casual dining, there are like 15 restaurants within the raidus of 1km literally
Second that. Unless you are in major commercial area where rent is too much for restaurant.
As for formal dining, I'd recommend hitting up Taipei 101. The food up there is soso... but dining at 300+ meter above the ground is an experience that nothing else come close.
go to shi lin nightmarket (outside of jian tan MRT station)...they have good street vendors..same with tong hua street. but if you want truly amazing street vendors you have to go to southern taiwan (tai zhong and tai nan). and go eat at the toilet restaurant for the pictures.
shop at ximending.
room 18 for clubbing..more locals...if you wanna club with canadians/americans luxy is usually ~30% north americans.

there's a similar thread if you search it up.
ximending is for middle school/high school kids... good place to pick up girls (tai mei) rather than shop lol

i dont know, its funny tho how when u go back tw ppl who realize u came back from another country, they idolize u like god or sth no joke (well obviously exaggerating a little but...) perhaps fobs sometimesdont dig fobs themself. Therefore it makes the person stand out more, the way u talk, dress, meeting new friends etc....

For formal dining i would recommend jing hua jiu dian, or kai yue(its the same company has hyatt in vancouver). kai yue is famous for their afternoon tea...a green aston martin is always parked there.
jing hua jiu dian is better for formal dinners tho. At kai yue.. a lot of parties are hosted there for some reasons. but i dono about these days. Jing hua always has amazing cars:P
As for clubbing:
-Room18
-Babe18
-Search
-Luxy
-Lava
Just to name a few . Clubbing is indeed AMAZING in Taipei. Chicks praise us CBCs.
Other than clubbing, you can go shopping. Ximending (西門町) has a lot of small stores that offer cheap, but fashionable clothing; same with Wufenpu (五分埔). Most of the quality is not that great though... kinda like Urban Behavior quality.
If you want to shop for more high-end stuff, go to the east shopping area or the XinYi area (where the Taipei101 is located at).
goin bak this summer ! WOOT
and honestli man, fine dining is not where you want to eat in taiwan
you gotta go for the taiwan xiao chi
like nite market food
and go nite market like tong hua jie, lao he jie, and go look at babes at xi men ding
AND go LAVA get some fine bitches !! HAHHA
and YES CBC leaves the club with the most bitches. LOL
Taipei and Taiwan in general has large selection for both fine dining and market foods.
Shilin night market is a must.
Dan-Sui is also an area to visit, good views and street vendor food.
The area around Taipei 101 (shin-yi) area has some pretty good shops and restaurants as well.
fuuuck i wanna go this summer, but have no one to go with...
hmm is going alone going to be a problem if i only know canto and english?
i don't know mandarin and i find it extremely difficult to get around in non touristy places.. its even hard to order a burger at mcdonalds i just tried like 1 hour ago ..
the regent grand formosa is a great hotel to stay at but it is pricy...
anyone in taipei for the next couple months ? i'm going to be here attempting to learn mandarin
you will definitely have some difficulties traveling around not capable of speaking mandarin. The majority of the locals cannot speak english, like you would expected
