Visit Taipei

Taipei is such a vibrant cool city, rated the 3rd safest city in the world and it feels it too. Taxis are cheap and abundant, and the MRT runs like clockwork. You're never far away from a convinience store and the people of taiwan are always happy to help. We were so impressed by the amount of english (and japanese!!) everywhere we went. That being said, a few things to make your life easier - apply mosquito repellent! they come out at dusk and will feast on your foreigner blood with gusto. - make sure your room as A/C if you are visiting in the summer. It was basically 35c everyday we were there for two weeks in July, and I have never sweated so much in my life. Some weather apps likened the 'real feel' temperature to be 45c. - make sure you have cash! apple pay and credit cards are widely accepted but cash is still king. Cathay bank atm do not have foreign transacton fees!

1. Excellent location and close proximity to the Ximending District and the street activities. 2. A good variety of foods and shopping choices for the youth. 3. Good locations for shopping souvenir collection. 4. Close proximity to the Care-four when opens 24 Hours. 5. Room are smaller compared to amba Songshan Hotel. 6. The reception customer service has rigid control on early check in and late check out for the guest request. 7. Reception customer service needs to listen to the guest needs during check in process. 8. Reception customer service response to email enquiries for booking take relatively longer time and so miss the request from the guest, creating inconvenience.

Taipei was great. Unfortunately, it was very hot and humid when e we visited in July. There are a lot of cool things to do. If we had gone at a different time of year, I think we would have enjoyed it more and spent more time outside.

This is my 2nd time. First was 2018, i noticed that food, clothes and ofher items got expensive now. Also, govt should do something abt the many homeless people staying esp at nighttime @Taipei Main Station. It leaves a bad sight since it is a central location for transportation both of locals and foreign travellers..the homeless are scattered all over the place making the area their sleeping quarters, awful & disappointing to see.

Taipei, the lively capital of Taiwan, is a haven of cultural experiences, delicious food, and stunning landscapes. My recent trip to Taipei was an unforgettable journey rich in history, modern wonders, and warm hospitality. The locals' friendliness makes navigating Taipei easy. The efficient MRT system ensures convenient travel around the city. Taipei beautifully blends tradition and modernity, making it a must-visit destination in Asia.

In our situation -- this was our second time vacationing in Taipei. One of us is American and one of us is a native Taiwanese currently living in the United States. We love Taipei. The public transit makes it so easy to get around. There are countless food and drink options and most of the food is wildly cheap. It feels like there's stuff to do everywhere. Cards for public transit can be found in 7-11 or Family Mart and you can load money onto them in any MRT Station kiosk. Ximen is my favorite area -- I love how many shops and food options there are and how bustling the streets are. There's so many people walking around but everyone is kind and respectful. I love cocktail bars -- Lab and WAT Bar were our favorites during this visit. Taiwan's night markets are also legendary -- so many food options packed into a busy market and all of it is cheap -- however some of the night markets get very crowded so it can be hard to move around in them. If you're looking for Asian Beauty products check out Watsons (most are open 24 hours), Cosmed and Poya. Aside from the standard MRT -- the High Speed Rail makes it easy to go beyond Taipei and visit other parts of Taiwan efficiently. In two hours you can be on the other side of the country via the HSR.
