City Guide Taipei, Taiwan

Exciting and Fun City

Taipei was amazing, especially the nightlife and FOOD! I didn't really know what to expect coming to Taipei, but I absolutely loved it. The shopping was very cheap, the snack stalls and night market food was delicious and there are many hot springs nearby for some R&R time. The weather was lovely, and there was fantastic scenery just a short train ride away from the city.

Insider Tip:I advise going to the hot spring towns, and travelling the Pingxi train route (especially during the lantern festival, Jiufen town hosts sky lantern festival which is truly magical). Then just explore! the is so much beautiful scenery to see, and many abandoned buildings. You will feel like your adventuring through wonderland.

Lovely Taipei

Ok City

I was dissapointed with the nighlife. I couldn't find a good place to drink. The Lucy was charging $1,500 NTD on New Year's Eve. There are too many gay bars and not enough straight party zones. Taipei 101 is good, but not that great. The Eiffel Tower is better. Cab rides are very cheap.
