Fun one day trip around Taipei city1. Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Getting there - This is easily accessible by Metro as it is right outside the metro. Highlights - This is a huge area with the memorial, peace arch, parks and national theatres. The memorial itself is a huge complex with interesting exhibitions below and statue on top level. Overall, very good chance to learn about Chiang Kai Shek and Taiwan history Tips - You can go earlier in the morning as exhibitions opens at 9am but remember your sunscreen and umbrella. 2. Taipei 101 Highlights - Tall and iconic skyscraper of Taiwan that has many luxury shops inside the building. There are also many souvenir shops like Sunny Hills etc inside for gift shopping. Tips - You can also go to the nearby park near the city hall to have a full view picture with Taipei 101 and the rainbow. 3. Ximending Getting there - You can take Metro to nearest Ximen station. Highlights - Fun and vibrant shopping district from day to night. There are so much food and souvenir shops here. Don't forget to try the famous Ay Chung Rice Noodles and Xing Fu Tang's brown sugar milk. Options are endless here. Tips - Do visit the red house at Ximen which is a historic and photogenic building with crafts market and coffee house inside. 4. Raohe Night Market Getting there - Can reach there by Metro and then walking. Highlights - This is the best night market in Taipei in my personal opinion. The variety of food is great there and it's a huge night market. Many michelin bib recommended food like the pepper meat pancake, Yipinyuan rice balls to name a few. Highly recommended if you love street food.LQCS9

Visit a market at a heritage site📍 Chengdu Road, Wanhua District, Taipei City, Taiwan This location is a famous heritage building in the city of Taipei and a must-visit if you’re travelling there. It is a historic theatre house that opened back in the 20th century and was built by architect Kondo Juro. Its red-brick octagonal structure is so iconic that you definitely won’t miss it when you walk past! The locals usually organize day and night markets in this area so we managed to catch one that day. You can find all sorts of crafts and souvenirs that are pretty unique as many of them are handmade! It was a fun day of learning the history of this place while having retail therapy at the same time. My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #solotravel #taipei #taiwan #tripmoments #tripblazersdaniaexperiences2

The Red House in Ximen, Taipei, not only has buildings but also a market. It’s like a warehouse in Japan.The most famous building coming out of Exit 1 of Ximen is probably the Ximen Red Building. The very retro red building is a tourist attraction that many people like to take photos and check in. But in addition to the building, the market inside is not to be missed. And you will feel like you are instantly transported to a red brick warehouse in Japan. It has a very wide range of cultural products, large and small. It’s really diverse and a great place to bring home souvenirs. And you’ll also see some retro little things that are quite novel. Don’t miss this place next time you come to Red Mansion I’ll take a lot of photos and buy them all #TaipeiAttractions #Market怪獸的E視野18
