Highly recommend for those into hiking! There are many steps from the bottom to the top, but the effort to get up there is worth it.
Hot & crowded, the Shilin Night Market is not for the faint of heart. But come with energy and you'll be rewarded with everything from stinky tofu, oyster omelets & rice noodles among many treats.
Quoth the bartender: "If you are looking for something Taiwanese, you are in the wrong place—we aim to recreate the *American* bar in Taiwan." Hits the mark.
One of the best tea houses in the world, Wistaria couples a strong political & cultural history with top quality Chinese & Taiwanese teas. An ideal place to learn about classic gongfucha preparation.
You want the “mango avalanche”—shaved ice piled high with cubes of fresh fruit, mango pudding, condensed milk, and mango sorbet. More places to eat like a local: tandl.me/12ufz7c
Great semi-outdoor food court with all sorts of options - Taiwanese, Japanese, Italian, etc. Perfect for a warm day!
One of my favourite markets! You have everything in it! One long road with many different kind of stores that will satisfy your needs. Only negative thing is the walk to the nearest MRT station is far
I had the chocolate pop rocks and it was the blandest nitro ice-cream I've had. It wasn't creamy & the flavour wasn't intense. Tasted quite average for something costing 150NT. Disappointed.
Easily one the best guabao places. Get the half fat/half lean guabao (綜合割包). Not too oily and very tender. Pork bone corn broth (玉米排骨湯) is also very flavorful and great on a cold day. Closed Mondays.
Best fried chicken I've ever eaten. Liked the soup dumplings more than Din Tai Fung. English menu available upstairs
