Taipei Urban Culture Tour
As the capital of Taiwan, where is Taipei’s most fashionable quarter? Come to the Xinyi District to find out! If you’ve taken the Metro to National Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall to join the innumerable visitors watching the changing of the honor guard, where should you go next to get a better understanding of Taipei? Just take a short jaunt to the Taipei City Hall; when you go in through the main entrance, you will see the souvenir center on the left, and you will find the Discovery Center of Taipei on your right.
After finding out a little about Taipei at the Discovery Center, you can gain a new perspective by visiting the observation platform on the 89th floor of Taipei 101, where you will get a panoramic view of the entire Taipei area!
Apart from being a great place for strolling and window-shopping, the Xinyi District also boasts art installations on street corners, and there are performances by street performers on weekends and holidays. This kind of place will make you forget to go home!
Xinyi District contains many kinds of fashionable restaurants, and you can also take the Metro to Songshan Station to see the Raohe tourist night market next to the station. You may need to wait in line to try such wildly-popular treats as pepper pies, Dongshan duck’s head, oyster noodles, and various foreign-style snack foods. After you’ve eaten your fill, you can experience a special slice of Taipei’s unique nightlife!
The eslite Bookstore Dunnan Branch at night is a unique cultural scene where you can find all types of books in all languages. You can find a comfortable place to read, or appreciate the cultural atmosphere of the store. Spending some time here is the perfect way to end a one-day tour of Taipei.
