2025 Taipei Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)

We were strolling around Ximending and found this perfume at Watsons. The prices are amazing. They have a wide variety of brands. It's great for personal use or as a gift for a friend. The 30ml size is carry-on, so you don't need to check it in. It's a fantastic value! 📍 Location: Watsons Ximending, Taipei Next time you're in Taiwan, don't miss out on this one! 💕 #Taipei #TaiwanTravel #TravelTalk #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck

I'd like to recommend a restaurant that accepts hotel coupons (we chose the accommodation option). We received five coupons in our email, each worth NT$1,000, for a total of NT$5,000. We chose Buttermilk at Amba Taipei Ximending Hotel because reservations weren't required and we could just walk in. Lunch: We chose the combo set, which included five dishes, including dessert. The first dish looked like a scone (I can't quite remember the name 😅) and came with butter and blueberry jam. This one was jam-packed with jam and chunks of blueberries. It was delicious and flavorful. The second dish was a salad with round cheese slices and fresh, crisp vegetables. The third dish was buttermilk fried chicken served with two sauces, cheese, and Thousand Island dressing. The cheese sauce was delicious and rich. This fourth dish was originally a fish & chips, but you can add BBQ ribs (+200) or steak (+500). We opted for the ribs, which were about six large pieces. The meat was tender and not tough at all, and the sauce was juicy. This dish was absolutely delicious. The fifth dish was dessert: two cakes and a panna cotta. We only had the panna cotta because we were too full. The panna cotta had mango sauce and vanilla cream, made from real vanilla beans. It was incredibly fragrant. For lunch, the total cost was NT$2,178. We used two coupons for the staff to scan, and then paid the remaining NT$178 in cash. Dinner: We opted for a cheese board and white wine, then ordered the truffle mushroom spaghetti. This restaurant uses high-quality ingredients, and the price was reasonable. The staff were always attentive. Dinner cost NT$3,069, which was a bit steep for the wine. The hotel is located in Ximending, making it easy to get to and from the dining area. If you're planning a trip to Taiwan, don't miss the Taiwan the Lucky Land campaign. The Taiwan Tourism Board is offering a random giveaway of over NTD 5,000 in coupons to travelers traveling to Taiwan on their own. #TaiwanTravel #Taipei #TravelTalk #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck

Korean cuisine and BBQ are already very common in Taiwan, but you've definitely never tried clay pot BBQ. This restaurant, which continues the tradition of an elderly couple's 30-year-old family tradition, boasts meticulous attention to detail in both homemade side dishes and privately prepared dishes. With the second generation set to open in spring 2025, you can now enjoy authentic Hanyang Korean cuisine in Taipei. 🥘 They offer set menus: They also offer all-you-can-eat side dishes, but once you try them, you know they can't be replicated by wholesale. The rich sauce permeates the leaves, and you can finish the side dishes with just the right amount. A bowl of rice paired with a ceramic plate of beef or pork simmered in a delicate broth creates a light yet juicy flavor. Paired with various side dishes and sauces, the flavors are varied and varied, leaving you wanting more. 💕 ✔️The pancakes are simply pan-fried vegetables and potatoes, but they're unforgettable. ✔️The cold squid, while salty, is a perfect accompaniment to wine. 🥘The spicy chicken soup is a private dining room specialty, so make sure you make a reservation. There are also radish and pork rib soup, ginseng chicken soup, and other options. Add instant noodles and it's like being transported back to Korea—a truly authentic and satisfying experience! Recommended 👏👏👏 💯 They also have GD's own brand of sparkling wine, and the pink bubbles will cheer up any girl. Perfect for birthdays and family gatherings, this private Korean restaurant is family-friendly ♡👍 📍 No. 23, Lane 4, Lane 345, Section 4, Ren'ai Road, Da'an District, Taipei City #TaipeiFoodExplore#TaipeiEastDistrictFood#RecommendedKoreanFood#CeramicPlateBBQ#AlleyFood#AllYouCanKoreanSideDishes#FamilySecretRecipe

Another must-visit spot in Taipei! I highly recommend it to everyone! Discover the adorable PEANUTS characters everywhere! ❤️ My friends and I stumbled upon this 7-Eleven by chance while strolling around the city. We were so happy! We immediately ran in. The store was so cute! From the sign to the little decorations, everything was covered in Snoopy! So happy! 🥳 If you walk in from the main road coming from Taipei Main Station, you'll find the first branch. This store is quite large, with stairs leading down to the basement where you can sit and relax. There's plenty of seating, and there are plenty of photo spots. Even the chairs are adorned with Snoopy characters! So cute! 🥺 After leaving the first branch, we walked about 150 meters and found another store with Snoopy characters. What a surprise! This branch only has one floor, but they have a wide selection of Snoopy merchandise to choose from. We got a bag and a plush keychain for a great price, too. There's also a giant Snoopy statue for taking photos with. It's so cute! Snoopy fans, don't miss this! It's so awesome! 🤩✨ 📍Location: 7-Eleven in Ningbo City, near the Fuhang Soy Milk shop. (We found it on our way to Huashan 1914 Creative Park.) #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #TaiwanTravel #TaiwanReview

Have you ever taken a photo from this angle in Taipei? 8 great spots to take photos with Taipei 101. Taiwan's famous landmark has it all. From secret spots to easy-to-shoot spots without climbing, to those that will make your knees hurt. 🌇 Let's follow their footsteps. ✴️ Takemura Izakaya, a secret spot that doesn't require climbing to make your knees tremble. It's best to come when it's getting dark. It's more beautiful than during the day. 🌃 ✴️ Gathering Pavilion, this spot is located just before the entrance to Si Si Nan Cun Village. It's an artistic sculpture, resembling eight people standing bowing towards each other. Stand in the center and take the photo. Scoop up to get a perfect shot of the building in the center. ✴️ Huian Park, a public park in the heart of the city, just a 15-minute walk from Taipei 101. ✴️ Bishanyan Kaizhang Shengwang Temple, a beautiful temple with a stunning view, not far from Neihu Station. It offers stunning views of the city and Taipei 101. You should use a telephoto lens on your phone or camera. Zoom in to make it look like Taipei 101 is surrounded by auspicious animals✨ ✴️ Tao Zhu Yin Yuan Tower, a twisted building A popular Taipei tourist spot created by taking a photo and then editing the twisted building's other side to be paired together. The actual building is twisted on one side.🏢 ✴️ Jimmy's Moon Bus 🌙 An exhibition from Jimmy Liao's book "When The Moon Forgot." This angle is opposite Taipei 101, so I used a wide-angle lens to shoot through the pond where the bus is parked. ✴️ Si Si Nan Cun, an ancient military village This angle is easy to photograph. Just cross the street from Taipei 101 and there's a hill to take photos. Or, walk a bit further to see an equally beautiful window frame. ✴️ 2nd floor of Taipei City Hall Station This angle is very easy to get to, located right on the stairs. Go up to the 2nd floor outside the station. Anyone have other great angles for photos with Taipei 101? 🌆 Come chat with me! I'm trying to compile some easy-to-shoot angles that don't require high climbing. I've climbed Elephant Mountain before, and it was so tiring. Let's visit Taiwan! #TravelChat #TaiwanTravel #TaiwanAttractions #Taipei #TaipeiTravel

I heard there was a surge of people after celebrity Lan Xinmei visited. Actually, I was just passing by and was drawn to the lush green exterior. 🤩 After a little research, I realized it's a popular East District shop, even on weekdays! 🍞I just bought the taro buns (the name certainly isn't that cheesy), custard cream, and mentaiko (the brand says it's super popular). As for the must-buy cinnamon rolls, Hokkaido raw milk buns, focaccia, or European-style bread mentioned online, I didn't buy them. 😆 🥖I really like the decor of this shop and the wide selection, but you'll need to bring more money because it's not cheap—all for the price of a bento box. 😧 But I'd still like to try their other products when I'm in the East District. It seems perfect for business gifts! 📍No. 28, Lane 4, Alley 345, Section 4, Ren'ai Road, Da'an District, Taipei City

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Who would have thought that an ordinary bus stop 🚏 could have such a cool photo spot! At Taipei City Hall Bus Station, just a short walk away is a staircase with a view of Taipei's skyscrapers 🏙️. It feels like you're shooting a street fashion shoot 📸. I originally planned to take the bus, but I ended up stopping to take photos instead 😂. I highly recommend stopping here for a photo opportunity if you're in this area. It's truly beautiful! 🚇 Getting there: MRT Taipei City Hall Station (Exit 2, then a short walk) 📌 Taipei City Hall Bus Station ⭐️Personal satisfaction: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ***Unauthorized use of this photo is prohibited*** #TaipeiAttractions #TaipeiTravel #Taipei #TaipeiTaiwan #TaiwanTravel

The Chinese restaurant recommended by old gourmet friends, Taiwanese bar seating but Japanese wine dining atmosphere, Yongkang Street has always been a treasure of hidden food, if I didn't live far away, love-to-eat ghosts would love this area 💕 like! 💫 If you only order one dish, "Special Iron Pot Mapo Tofu" is too charming😋 臊子 aroma is obvious and with nutty fragrance, has been adjusted not Sichuan's spicy, single this dish can be a bowl of rice especially plus half-cooked eggs; 💫 Super popular "Fish Chicken Sauce Oil Ramen" The soup is delicious, but I am a rice control for ramen can not love to the heart; recommend "Kumquat Sesame Oil Drizzled Chicken", a small surprise cold dish ordered down!

Taipei's National Palace Museum is like a silent yet grand epic. It not only houses porcelain, jade carvings, and calligraphy but also captures the very breath of time itself. Stepping inside feels like passing through layers of historical veils, where every artifact is not static but carries the essence of its past users and the warmth of the artisans' hands. The Jadeite Cabbage is not just a masterpiece of jade craftsmanship but resembles a haiku crystallized in stone; the Meat-shaped Stone, with its humorous form, reminds us that delicacies and the mundane are of equal value. This is not merely an exhibition space but a place of dialogue: between the ancient and the modern, the East and the West, the refined and the ordinary—all interwoven in the reflections of the glass cases. The walls of the museum may seem silent, yet they constantly whisper, reminding us that civilization has never vanished but merely dons new attire in different eras. The true treasure of the National Palace Museum in Taipei is not its collection but the power that compels visitors to pause, gaze, and walk alongside history.

#PostACommentWinJungliaTickets The Taipei Zoo is truly a classic example of a Taiwanese zoo. Despite its vast grounds, the park boasts excellent facilities, including a park train and the Maokong Gondola, allowing visitors to explore with ease. My favorite area is the Taiwan Zoo, where I can see many endemic Taiwanese species, such as the Formosan black bear and sika deer, which feels incredibly intimate. The koala enclosure and penguin enclosure are also must-sees; watching their adorable faces instantly melts away all worries. The zoo is also very family-friendly, with plenty of shade and rest areas. Despite the affordable admission price, the grounds are well-maintained, and the animals have ample space to roam. The care and attention paid to the zoo is truly evident. I highly recommend a visit to experience the beauty and vitality of nature.

This time, we'll be introducing some must-try street food treats for any Taiwanese night market! ✨️ 1 | Ji Pai (Chicken Pie) Deep-fried chicken bigger than your face. Spicy and incredibly satisfying! 2 | Large and Small Intestines (Large and Small Intestines) A Taiwanese version of a hot dog, with Taiwanese sausage sandwiched between glutinous rice sausage. 3 | QQ Balls (Quick Meat Balls) Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Sweet potato balls that are incredibly popular at night markets. 4 | Pepper Buns (Pepper Mushrooms) Crispy on the outside, hot and juicy inside, with a delicious pork filling and peppery flavor. 5 | Baked King Oyster Mushrooms (Shrimp Oyster Mushrooms) As the name suggests, this dish is incredibly simple (lol). But delicious! The portions are large, so it's best to share. 6 | Oyster Omelet (Oyster Omelet) The combination of plump oysters, eggs, and sweet and spicy sauce is a perfect match! A famous shop is Yuanhuanbian Oyster Omelet in Ningxia Night Market. 7 | Drink Stand They squeeze the fruit fresh on the spot after you order, so it's incredibly fresh and delicious!

When you don't know what to eat for lunch every day, and you want to make sure your colleagues are happy to eat, go to Youyou! The original store is still open and is nearby. The newly opened restaurant, Youyou 1969, has a modern and clean decor. We're often sold out at noon, and I hear it's even harder to get a table at night. 😅 💫Typical Chinese restaurants have a ton of options, but this one has at least half the menu, making it perfect for those with indecisiveness. Each dish is carefully selected, the prices justify the portion, and the food is as delicious as you can imagine. 😋 💫My favorites are the Braised Eggs with a Chinese Sauce (I don't order them if I can't handle a soft-boiled egg), Tender Pork with Pork, Stir-fried Beef, Stir-fried Pork with Water Lily, and Braised Pork Rice (I'd be a shame not to order one if I won't win! 😂). I've recently fallen in love with the shrimp balls stuffed in the Baihua Fried Dough Sticks. The sweet and sour sauce is so comforting. The Peeled Chicken Soup with Chili Peppers is a must-try when you're in a crowd—you'll sweat! 💯It's so delicious it feels like visiting your own kitchen. Many dishes go well with rice and you won't miss anything. It's better to make a reservation to be safe. I had no idea it was so popular. 👍 📍No. 48, Liaoning Street, Zhongshan District, Taipei City #TaipeiRestaurants #TaiwaneseStir-fry #Champion Braised Pork Rice #Recommended Braised Pork Rice #Taiwanese Cuisine

USHI HANA 🥩 // #TaipeiWagyuYakuni Recently, my #carnivorousness has been particularly strong. 😽 Continuing to develop excellent meat-cutting restaurants. 😼 #Niuhua, a restaurant that opened over a year ago, offers a no-menu menu featuring Itamae Wagyu. This season's menu features #Yonezawa beef. The beef is grilled and served by a dedicated staff (amazing! 🤭) In the past, only Japanese Wagyu beef under 30 months old could be imported. Recently, regulations have been relaxed. The staff said the Yonezawa beef they offer has finer marbling and a more pronounced sweetness. 😙 The staff grills it exceptionally well, and every bite is sweet and not greasy. 👄 If I grilled it myself, I'd probably ruin the beef's sacrifice. 😂 Although this was my first visit, #Niuhua is one of my top five favorite Wagyu Yakiniku restaurants in Taipei.

My first international trip with friends back when I was broke. Yes, we chose to fly to Taipei on Scoot. We arrived and slept at the airport until morning so we could shower for free before heading out. We traveled to Yangmingshan without knowing anything. We only knew that we were going to see the cows in the pastures we'd seen in pictures online. When we arrived, it was raining heavily and lightly. We walked along the path with umbrellas, but the wind was very strong, and there wasn't a single cow. But it was a truly memorable experience. No one questioned why we were there or what we were seeing. It was just smiles and laughter that brought us here. #TaiwanTravel #Taiwan #Taipei #AdventureTrip

Sogo Fuxing Pop-Up Exclusive: August 15 (Fri) - August 21 (Thu) 💕 A few years ago, I discovered that my youthful and vibrant junior from college turned out to be the mastermind behind the online sensation "The Most Difficult-to-Order Cinnamon Rolls"! 🥯 Now with a physical store, you can easily grab these delicious cinnamon rolls topped with irresistible cream cheese frosting!

*#FlyCafe#TaipeiCinnamonRollCeiling#FlyBrotherCinnamonRoll#Taipei'sBestCinnamonRoll Finally, FlyBrother's **Fly Cafe** has moved! From its original black tin shack on Dunhua South Road, it's now **Dunhua North Road**, boasting a brighter and more comfortable space. ✨ It just opened yesterday (August 15th), and I rushed in today! It's still the same **No. 1 CinnamonRoll in Taipei** that I've been dreaming of! 🥹 --- ### **🍞 CinnamonRoll Body: Moist and Rich, with a Flavorful Burst of Cinnamon and Caramel** FlyBrother's cinnamon rolls are **made fresh daily**, and the aroma of cinnamon is instantly palpable upon entering. The outer layer is drizzled with **caramel sauce**, making the buns moist and slightly chewy. The cinnamon aroma is incredibly rich, but not overpowering, with a hint of caramel sweetness. Paired with the crunchy walnuts, the rolls are incredibly complex! **Highly recommend eating it right there**; it's perfect served hot. ### **☕ Drink Pairing: Latte vs. Iced Americano** I ordered the hot latte, which had a nice, fluffy foam and went perfectly with the cinnamon roll. My husband's iced Americano was also smooth and not too bitter, perfect for those who don't like sweets. But their real highlight is the Sicilian coffee, which is a popular choice. ### **🥪 Surprise: Egg Salad Sandwich** My husband ordered the **Egg Salad Sandwich**, which was surprisingly delicious! The bread is toasted to a crispy texture, and the egg salad is smooth and fluffy. I've tried their signature tuna salad sandwich before, which was also refreshing and delicious. 😋 ### **📍 New Store Information** - **Address**: No. 1, Lane 165, Dunhua North Road, Da'an District, Taipei City - **Hours**: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM (Early risers are welcome) - **Minimum Purchase**: One drink (no time limit) - **Must-Order**: Classic Walnut Cinnamon Roll $140 --- **💡 Tips** 1. **Recommend arriving early**; the cinnamon rolls are made fresh daily; they can sell out if you arrive too late! 2. **Takeout can be frozen** and is equally delicious when reheated at home. 3. The new location offers **more seating**, but it's recommended to avoid peak hours on holidays. **#TaipeiDessert#CinnamonRollAddict#NewStoreReport#FlyBrotherisBack** #TaipeiCafe#TaipeiAfternoonTea#TaiwaneseFood#TaiwaneseDessert#FoodRecommendations#FoodieDaily **This was a truly satisfying meal! No wonder they're the #1 cinnamon roll seller in Taipei! Do you love this place too?**
