Don't miss out!

Top food recommendations in Jiaoxi🏆: 1️⃣ Zheng Hao Fresh Pork Xiao Long Bao (not the regular fresh pork xiao long bao❗) A basket of 10 juicy xiao long bao costs NT$100 Hot and Sour Soup costs NT$35 Black Tea, Milk Tea, and Soy Milk are all NT$20 (you can get them from the refrigerator after ordering and paying) There's absolutely nothing to complain about here! It's a complete winner🏆 The hot and sour soup is even better than Ba ​​Fang Yun Ji🤣 and it's not the small bowl kind; the soup in the xiao long bao is also super delicious (see cover for details). The shop's specialty is xiao long bao: thin skin, lots of filling, and lots of juice. Locals in Yilan say it's worth eating because the xiao long bao has a scallion flavor. On a hot day, a cup of black tea/milk tea or soy milk is perfect. Personally, I think the milk tea is a little sweet, but within an acceptable range, not overly sweet. The signature dish is, of course, the xiao long bao! We checked out the place twice, because the first time we arrived at 5 PM, the shop told us they were sold out of hot and sour soup 😭 The second time, when we arrived around noon, there was already a queue! Finally, we got to drink the hot and sour soup! The queue was incredibly long when we finished eating, but thankfully we made it before noon 😁 📍Address: No. 122, Ren'ai Rd., Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County 2️⃣Wu Ji Peanut Roll Ice Cream 😋 A traditional and delicious taste (Next to Ke's Scallion Pancake! The location is easy to find 😆) This place also had a long queue, but luckily we only waited less than 10 minutes. The shop grinds peanut powder on the spot and adds cilantro. Be sure to ask them to add cilantro; it tastes best that way 👍 They don't skimp on the ingredients; there are two scoops of ice cream, which is very generous. It's NT$50, which beats many Taipei night markets that only have one scoop of peanut roll ice cream and don't taste good, yet they charge NT$60! Because it was too hot to eat outside, which could cause heatstroke, the customers buying peanut roll ice cream were smart enough to eat inside the claw machine arcade (it's air-conditioned!). 📍Address: No. 128, Section 4, Jiaoxi Road, Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County 3️⃣ Taiyi Crispy Pork Belly How could we miss out on the crispy pork belly that only yields 550g per kilogram of roasted pork belly? 😋 We chose the medium-sized two-person set meal for NT$200, which included a free serving of daikon radish (pickled radish with a grapefruit flavor). It was so crunchy and delicious, the crispy pork belly 🥩 burst with flavor and aroma in our mouths – mouthwatering! Onions were served on the side to add flavor and cut through the richness. 👍 📍Address: No. 117, Section 2, Zhongshan Road, Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County Finally, we originally wanted to try Yizhenxiang's bursting mantou (steamed buns), but the baker hadn't made any the night before. We'll have to save those for our next trip! #foodie #foodblogger #ambrosial #Jiaoxi #YilanFoodRecommendations #YilanFoodTips #Foodie #100WaysToTravel

🏨 Hotel: Meworld Hotel – Taipei Main Station 📍 Address: 7F, No. 50, Section 1, Zhongxiao West Road, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City ⏰ Check-in/Check-out Time: Check-in at 16:00 / Check-out before 11:00 💡 Recommendations 👉 A compact, budget-friendly design hotel located in the heart of Taipei, ideal for travelers who prioritize convenience over luxurious appearances. 👉 Pay attention to the room type when booking, as not all rooms have windows. 🛏️ Room and Amenities I stayed in a 27-square-meter room. The bathroom is located upstairs (not suitable for travelers with mobility issues). The desk is integrated with the wardrobe, enhancing the sense of space in the room. This room type offers the best value for money. The bed is soft and springy, with pillows providing just the right support, making it very comfortable to sleep on. The bathroom features a separate wet and dry area, strong water pressure, and quick hot water. However, the lack of hand soap in the bathroom was a bit inconvenient. The room has ample power outlets and USB ports for convenience. Note that most accommodations no longer provide disposable amenities proactively. 🧼 Service and Cleanliness The front desk is on the 7th floor. The staff are young, friendly, and provide clear and concise explanations. The check-in and check-out processes are smooth. The housekeeping is very clean, with new towels and bed linens. For stays of three consecutive nights or more, cleaning services are provided upon request. Otherwise, only towel replacement and trash removal are offered. Guests must register for cleaning services at the front desk before 11:00 AM or contact the front desk from their room. If not registered, it will be assumed that no cleaning is needed. Cleaning is conducted between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM. 🍽 Public Facilities/Convenience Meworld Hotel is located within the Asia Plaza Building (7th and 8th floors). Access requires using the elevator, which is relatively fast. There are no large-scale facilities (e.g., gym, laundry room), but all basic functions are available. 🩵 A highlight is the water dispensers (hot/cold) available on every floor and in public areas, which is a great convenience for travelers who prefer not to buy bottled water (especially for late-night instant noodle cravings). 💕 The hotel is conveniently located near drink shops, convenience stores, and breakfast spots. A tunnel leads to Taipei Main Station across the street, making it super close! Nearby are Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, the famous cram school street Nanyang Street (now filled with local restaurants and snacks), and several convenience stores. The location is excellent. 🗺️ Transportation | How to Get There 🚇 Taipei Main Station MRT (Tamsui-Xinyi/Bannan Line) is about a 3–5 minute walk. 🚈 Both High-Speed Rail and Taiwan Railways are within walking distance. ✈️ Airport MRT A1 Taipei Main Station is about a 5–6 minute walk. 🚌 Multiple bus stops are right downstairs. 🚕 Taxis are readily available. Use Zhongxiao West Road for pick-up/drop-off; avoid Xuchang Street as it is inaccessible.

While leisurely strolling through the old streets and alleys of Dadaocheng, you often stumble upon delightful surprises. This time, I discovered a shop with an exotic flair at a corner—Yankov Russian Emporium. Its exterior is understated, but stepping inside feels like entering another world. Every item displayed here seems like a gift brought back from a distant northern land. The tables are adorned with vividly colored Russian wooden crafts, amber jewelry glowing with a warm orange hue, and festive food and beverages. Particularly captivating are the uniquely designed Russian nesting dolls, with their intricate hand-painted details resembling works of art, making it hard to look away. What I loved most was the shop owner's expression when sharing the stories behind the products. She spoke about Russian culture as if it were her own homeland, not just introducing the materials or uses but also delving into local customs, festivals, and the tales behind them. What started as a casual visit turned into a longer stay than expected, especially with her warm smile and the little treats she offered. In addition to crafts, the shop also offers local snacks and beverages. Drinks like sea buckthorn and berry-based beverages, as well as honey-infused products, provide unexpected warmth during Taipei's damp winters. For those who enjoy trying exotic ingredients, there are classic options like vodka and caviar, allowing you to experience the chill and festive atmosphere of distant Russia right in Taiwan. Walking out of the shop, it felt like completing a brief journey. No luggage, no tickets—just opening the door led to an unexpected cultural landscape. 🌟 Why It's Worth a Visit 1. A rare corner of Russian culture in the old streets, offering a touch of exotic charm during a stroll. 2. High-quality handcrafted wooden items and amber jewelry that are soothing just to look at. 3. A chance to try Russian everyday snacks and drinks, perfect for those seeking new flavors. 4. The shop owner's storytelling creates a genuine and comfortable experience. 📍 Yankov Russian Emporium (Suggested to pair with a Dadaocheng stroll for a more leisurely experience)

When I travel to Taipei, my favorite thing is to go to the night market, buy a bunch of food back to the hotel to eat 😋 Tonight I was also extravagant, bought a lot of fried food 😛 Ordered the set for two, with salt and pepper chicken, squid, sweet and spicy, egg tofu, apricot mushrooms, but I thought the portion was small, added ordered other snacks, such as chicken cartilage, chicken skin, flower balls, etc.😂 But when it came time to pick up the food, I knew GG, 6 bags 🤣 As a result, we ate a lot 😢 However, the taste is really quite good, garlic salted chicken 💕 Shiyuan Salt Crispy Chicken (Banqiao Branch) Location: 37-1 Chongqing Road, Banqiao District Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 12 noon to 12 am #God of Salt and Crispy Chicken #Garlic Salt and Crispy Chicken #Shiyuan Salt and Crispy Chicken #Fried and Crispy #the portion is so large that 4 people can eat #very good

Vintage lovers, you definitely need to mark this down! Hidden on the third floor, the 'Yesterday Upstairs' grand sale lasts for 7 days. In addition to numerous vendors setting up stalls, there's also hand-brewed coffee by Yang Shui to accompany your shopping experience. My personal favorite is the unique and ultra-retro items from Sanghui Trading Co. The space is quite compact, so it's recommended to visit early for a better browsing experience. 🤍 / Information / ✅ Yesterday Upstairs Grand Sale 📍 Address: 3F, No. 3, Lane 12, Chifeng Street, Datong District, Taipei City ⏰ Date: December 3-9, 2025 Time: 14:00-20:00 🚇 Transportation: MRT Zhongshan Station

#November Destinations 2025 📍 Location: Yuanshan Flower Expo Park ✨ Why You Must Come? Cozy and Exotic This Christmas market, organized by the German Economic Office, features over 80-90 stalls offering everything from German food and mulled wine to handmade decorations and Christmas gifts. Stepping into the market is like instantly transporting yourself to a European town—wooden stalls, Christmas lights, European songs, and the air filled with the aromas of sausages, grilled items, and hot drinks. It's truly therapeutic and immerses you in the festive Christmas atmosphere. 🍷 Must-Try & Must-Buy Recommendations Glühwein (German Mulled Wine): Rich spices and a warm, savory flavor—the perfect comfort drink for a winter night. German Sausage/Pork Knuckle: A German classic, freshly grilled and incredibly fragrant, perfect with mulled wine. Christmas Bread & Desserts: Stollen, jam donuts, and traditional German Christmas pastries—sweet and comforting. Handmade Items & Gifts: Wooden ornaments, scented candles, Nordic-style decorations… Buying a few to take home would be perfect for the holiday season. 📸 The market atmosphere is incredibly photogenic! From the Christmas lights at the entrance and the wooden stalls to the mulled wine stand, and then to the warm lighting at night, every corner is picturesque. Recommendation: Go after dusk ☀️ → Natural light + the magical effect of the lights coming on. Take another set of photos at night 🌙 → The lights + market decorations create the best atmosphere. Grab a cup of mulled wine and sausages with snacks → The whole set of photos has a festive feel. 👟 Tips: The market starts around 11:00 AM daily → We recommend going after 5:00 PM for the best experience (lights + night market atmosphere). It's very convenient, just a short walk from Exit 1 of Yuanshan MRT Station. It gets quite crowded on weekends, so we recommend packing light and bringing shopping bags/water bottles. 💡 My Thoughts: I was so lucky to experience the atmosphere of a "European Christmas Market" in Taipei this year. Wooden stalls + warm lights + German food + mulled wine made me forget the winter chill and warmed me up completely. If you also want to spend Christmas in a different way and don't want to fly abroad, the German Christmas Market at Yuanshan Flower Expo is the place to be 🎄

Stepping into the Grand Hotel, I initially expected to be enveloped in the grandeur of a traditional Chinese palace. However, I was immediately struck by the shimmering golden Christmas tree and warm lighting, creating a wonderful fusion of "Eastern royalty × European festival" ✨. This blend of East and West is the most captivating aspect of the Grand Hotel in winter. The vermilion pillars and golden dragon reliefs in the lobby were already eye-catching, but the addition of Christmas wreaths and red-gold ornaments made the visuals even more opulent yet harmonious. Hanging lanterns and Christmas lights intertwined throughout the space, like a playful mix of cultural art. The giant Christmas tree, especially, standing in the center of the lobby, echoes the palatial ceiling, exuding grandeur and making for incredibly photogenic photos! I prefer to visit in the afternoon when the soft sunlight streams into the lobby, and the illuminated lights enhance the romantic festive atmosphere. Walking through the Grand Hotel truly allows you to experience both traditional beauty and winter warmth, making it a highly recommended spot for a festive afternoon stroll in Taipei. 📍 Grand Hotel | No. 1, Section 4, Zhongshan North Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei City #GrandHotel #GrandChristmas #TaipeiChristmas #EastMeetsWest #FestivalAtmosphere #TaipeiAttractions #ChristmasLights #ArchitecturalBeauty #TaipeiTravel #NovemberDestinations2025

If you are planning to come to Taipei for a small stay for a few days and want to enjoy the convenience of the city without being too noisy, Dazhi is definitely a good choice. This time I stayed at Taipei Dazhi Indigo Hotel, aiming to be convenient for both business and light travel, and to feel the atmosphere that blends modern architecture and history and humanity. The hotel entrance is located in the core of Dazhi, near Miramar Shopping Center and many high-quality restaurants, life functions are impeccable, definitely suitable for you who like to explore the city.

If you like a walk, it is very comfortable to walk along the banks of the Keelung River, and there are several green spaces nearby. The hotel is designed with bright and stylish surroundings, using a lot of large areas of glass, daytime natural light shining into the lobby, warm and comfortable. The room design is new, the tone is simple but not cold, the sound insulation is super good, put down worries at any time to sleep until naturally wake up. The bathroom has plenty of space and full facilities, so you don't feel cramped even after staying for a few days. Some guests think the space is small, but I myself find life convenient, quiet, plus good sound insulation, has satisfied the mood of really want to rest back at the hotel. Speaking of service, the front desk and cleaning staff were very polite, saw me take the initiative to smile, encountered problems immediately helped to deal with, the stay felt comfortable.

Here's a partial menu ✨ Do you want to escape work every Monday? Then you definitely need a brunch that will lift your spirits 😌 🥑✨ Weekday Limited-Time Brunch Platter (I want to order everything…please, someone help me decide!) Their brunch is so generous, my eyes lit up with hearts when I saw it: 🍄 Truffle Mushrooms 🥩 Sous-Flavored Chicken Breast 🍗 Italian Pan-Fried Chicken Leg (I'll order this!) 🐟️ Grilled Salmon 🥓 German Sausage 🦐 Salt and Pepper Shrimp Each platter comes with: ✦ Choice of three breads (French Toast / Mountain Toast / Parmesan Soft Bread) ✦ Yogurt ✦ Salad ✦ Caramelized Orange ✦ Choice of three drinks (Black Tea / Green Tea / Oolong Tea) 🍽 Italian Pan-Fried Chicken Leg: So fragrant it's almost unfair (I'll order this!) The moment this Italian pan-fried chicken leg arrived at the table, I was completely won over by the aroma. The skin was pan-fried until golden brown and slightly charred. The moment you cut into it, the juices glistened on the plate. Tender and juicy, it was the kind of chicken that didn't even need sauce. The Italian herbs had a delicate aroma, not overpowering, but perfectly enhancing the sweetness of the chicken. Every bite was a delight—crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside—it was simply irresistible. Paired with the French toast, caramelized orange, salad, and yogurt on the side… the whole brunch became a "delicious and ritualistic happy meal." 🍽 My friend ordered the salsa beef burger. The meaty aroma and salsa sauce were a perfect match! With the crispy fries… I can only say: I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't grab it. What about the atmosphere? The environment was clean and comfortable, with lighting so good you could turn a tiring day at work into a "lifestyle aesthetic." The dessert display case was also tempting; every cake seemed to be radiating charm. ✦ Even better on weekdays ✦ Less crowded ✦ Gentle service (There's a 10% service charge, but the service is truly excellent!) 🧸 Goodmauii Coffee ꔛ Opening Hours: Mon-Thu｜9:00 - 18:00 (Last order 16:30) Fri-Sat-Sun｜9:00 - 21:00 (Last order 19:30)ꔛ 1F, No. 69, Huayin Street, Datong District, Taipei City (Just near Taipei Main Station – a perfect walk away)ꔛ Exit 6, Ximending MRT Station (10-minute walk) ꔛ Payment Methods: LINE Pay / Cash ꔛ Reservations accepted, walk-in seating also available #CoffeeDrinking #BrunchRecommendation #Taipei #TaipeiStation #CoffeeShop #Food #Burger #FrenchToast #Cheese #Cake
