T'ai-pei

Din Tai Fong for the best steamed dumplings in the world!

Crazy Drive!! A lot of Food!!!

买东西吃东西, 买东西吃东西. More买东西吃东西, 买东西吃东西.

Be sure to stay in the old quarter especially if you're staying on a Friday or Saturday night...it seems like everyone under the age of 30 converges on the area on the weekend giving the place a huge vibe. If you're trying to find a restaurant, many are located on the first, second or third floors of buildings with ground level reserved for retail only. Be sure to look up!

I LOVE TAIPEI! The night markets Clubbing Shopping districts Electronic markets Food. Everywhere awesome. The Buzz of the city. The hair salons are amazing Clothes you will never find anywhere else - for cheap Just go. You'll love it and if you are white, you'll be one of the few white people who aren't english teachers to ever see it.

當中有一半已上的時間便是在跟團走... 跟旅行團遊台灣實在是很無趣...走馬觀花霧裡探花...還是自己週圍走走的好玩... 台灣的花真的很多...即使冬天也很鮮艷... 在這樣的花城...真的不想離開...一切煩惱拋在腦後... 古人臥薪嘗膽...十年生聚...十年生息... 當年蔣介石在台灣也如是說...但看著這萬花盛開的景像... ...... 嘗膽??? 中正紀念堂... 紀念蔣介石之地... 當年只顧享受... 現在卻連自己的地方也要改名... 折墯??? 一切也是理所當然的吧... 打太極那兩個人其實是老爸老媽... 台北的空氣其實和北京與香港的都有些不同... 台北的空氣更加自由...西門町的街頭歌手... 台北紅樓的交換生表演... 年青人自由的展示著自己的夢想...燃燒青春... 台北人也很認真... 忠烈祠路上的三條紅印... 國父紀念館地上的裂痕... 都是那些憲兵幾十年走下來的印跡... 當你像機器人那樣一步步...緩緩的行進的時候... 當妳一動不動...一秒一秒等待著下次換班時... 心中想著什麼呢??? 台北人也很熱情...說話都很靦腆... 巴士和街邊的年青人熱情的指路不說... 一個晚上和父母去到Mos Burgur...要一杯玉米湯... 喝了一杯覺得蠻好喝...想再喝一杯... 向店員問問...店員再向廚房問問...然後說... "不好意思...玉米湯不夠裝一杯...再做要等十五分鐘..." "這個..."我有些遲疑... "這樣吧...我把剩下的都給你...不用錢...可以嘛???" "???" 是我聽錯了???免費添飲??? 店員再說明一次...我原來沒聽錯... 和父母喝完...離開Mos Burgur... "謝謝你...Merry Christmas!!!"出門時斑竹向那個店員說... 路上...爸爸說..."剛才你說謝謝的時候...那個店員面紅了..." 哦??? 提到酒店...也Po幾張酒店的照片... 大家知道斑竹住的是什麼酒店嗎??? 從酒店望出去...便可以看到台灣新八景之一...101大樓... 其實也不太遠的說... 所以便找個下午...蹓去101大樓... 101附近的國父紀念館...是照相角度最佳的地方... 坐電梯上89層的觀景台...只用37秒... 37秒中...電梯小姐熟練的用中英日三語...向遊客介紹這棟世界最高的大廈... 上到頂... 台北市還是蠻漂亮的... 樓都不高...平均只有四五層... 總統府... 夜空中的總統府...亮著橘紅色...黯淡的燈光...孤獨的立在凱拔格蘭大道的盡頭... 天和地也被這燈染上一層闇紅... 偶爾駛過的一兩輛車...打破夜空的寧靜... 很浪漫...也很讓人浮想翩翩... 只是... 鐘樓上的這幾個字...格外刺眼... 街邊的公圓...國民黨正在做立委選舉的造勢晚會... 現在國民黨多次在國際媒體中...顯示出對大陸的友好姿態... 和民進黨的感覺很不一樣... 走進去聽聽... 卻越聽越不對勁... "萬惡的共產黨"..."共匪"... 以為只會在電影中才會出現的...現在原來還刻在台灣人的心中... 走在街上...耳邊聽的雖然也是普通話...但卻總有些不一樣... 抬頭看看...街頭這一串串的招牌... 不像大陸...卻反而帶些日本的氣息... 台灣...妳和我...真是一家人嗎??? 不說這些...台灣還是有很多值得一去的地方...時間所限...就隨便Po些相片吧... 有空的話...或許會再補些說明吧... 山城"九份"...古舊的山城... 給藝術家很多靈感... 東西也很好吃... 去九份的火車...破破舊舊的車停在破破舊舊的車站... 淡水...也是個舊城... 原來台灣女孩大多長得蠻漂亮的...意外收穫... 在台灣做的最多的就是吃... 吃在士林夜市... 炸雪糕... 台北還有一個袖珍博物館...放了許多1:12 的模型... 看看也別有意思... 四天很快的過去... 台灣是個有趣的地方呢...以後要再來玩玩... 下站就去阿里山吧... 一個人的話...就不用再跟旅行團了... 期待...

Very modernized city, and multicultural as well, balancing three different Han Chinese cultures as well as the indigenous cultures of Taiwan. Excellent place for anyone who wants to improve their Chinese, as well. Don't forget to visit the Night Market!

Great city. The 101 is spectacular. The hills to the north of the city have some excellent trails and the Palace Museum is simply the best museum of Chinese arts and treasures in the world.

Taipei has one of the largest bookstores in the world, well worth a visit especially for Chinese language publications.

Awesome place to go to. A shoppers dream. You can buy anything, clothes, electronics, food etc. Great tourist destination too with lots of traditional buildings etc.
