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

Recommended Jiaoxi snacks 🏆: 1️⃣ Zhenghao Fresh Meat Xiaolongbao (not your typical fresh meat xiaolongbao!) A basket of 10 juicy xiaolongbao is NT$100 Hot and Sour Soup is NT$35 Black tea, milk tea, and soy milk are all NT$20 (you can get them from the refrigerator after ordering and paying). I can't fault any of their food! The hot and sour soup is better than Banfang Yunji's 🤣 and the bowl isn't too small. The xiaolongbao broth is also incredibly delicious (see cover for details). The restaurant specializes in xiaolongbao: thin wrappers, generous fillings, and juicy fillings. Local Yilan residents recommend it because of the scallion aroma. If the weather is hot, enjoy a cup of black tea, milk tea, or soy milk. I personally find the milk tea a bit sweet, but not overly so. Their signature dish is, of course, the xiaolongbao! We visited twice. We were told the hot and sour soup was sold out when we arrived at 5 PM on the first day. 😭 The line had already started when we arrived around noon the next day, and we finally got our fill! The line was incredibly long by the time we finished eating, but luckily we managed to get in before 12:00 PM. 😁 📍Address: No. 122, Ren'ai Road, Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County 262 2️⃣ Wu Ji Peanut Roll Ice Cream 😋 Traditional and delicious (next to Ke's Scallion Pancakes! Easy to spot. 😆) This place also had a long line, but luckily we got in within 10 minutes. They grind their peanuts on-site and serve them with cilantro. Be sure to ask for extra cilantro; it tastes the best that way. 👍 They don't cut corners, and the ice cream is two scoops thick. For 50 yuan, it's a steal, beating out many Taipei night markets where you only get one scoop of peanut ice cream, which is not tasty and costs 60 yuan! Because it was so hot eating outside would risk heatstroke, customers who bought peanut ice cream rolls were smart enough to eat inside the claw machine shop (it has air conditioning!). 📍Address: No. 128, Section 4, Jiaoxi Road, Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County 262202 3️⃣ Taiyi Crispy Pork Belly How can you miss out on this crispy pork belly with only 550g of pork per kilogram? 😋 We chose the medium combo for two for NT$200, which comes with a free serving of daikon radish (pomelo-flavored pickled radish). The crispy texture was so crunchy, and the delicious aroma and flavor of the crispy pork 🥩 spread throughout your mouth, making you drool! Onions were also served on the side for a flavorful and light-reducing spiciness. 👍 📍Address: No. 117, Section 2, Zhongshan Road, Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County 2622022 Finally, we were going to try Yizhenxiang's exploding steamed buns, but the baker didn't make them the night before. We'll save them for our next trip! ️ #foodie #foodblogger #ambrosial #Jiaoxi #YilanFoodRecommendations #YilanFoodRecommendations #Foodie #100WaysToTravel

I still remember Fule Hotpot being around since I was in high school. A while ago, I went there on a whim. The line stretched out the door. The service was excellent, with snack packs provided. They also told us we could get drinks and soft serve ice cream inside if we were thirsty while waiting. There were also outdoor seating options. It was such a thoughtful gesture, and they really know how to run a business. 👍 No wonder customers are so willing to wait for their meal!❗ Today, I had a great meal with my husband. He ordered the surf and turf hotpot. I'm not picky about meat; I sometimes order pork and sometimes beef for hotpot, so today we decided to have the popular beef hotpot.❗ 🍲Popular Beef Hotpot 300 🍲Popular Beef Hotpot (choose one meat: beef, lamb, pork, or chicken) 650 I chose the braised pork rice for my main. There was no extra charge for the egg, and no 10% service charge either. It was a great experience. Some hotpot restaurants require you to order the egg separately. The surf and turf hotpot was a generous spread, featuring salmon, sea bream, clams, scallops, squid paste (slippery), and fresh oysters, along with two slices of ginger. It was an all-you-can-eat experience 🤣🤣🤣 Fuluo's dish also included spare ribs, something not found at many hot pot restaurants. The buffet offered all-you-can-eat kimchi, milk tea (not too sweet, thankfully❗), barley tea, and lemonade. The soft serve ice cream 🍦 came in strawberry and vanilla flavors, which surprisingly paired well. 😋 Ice cream was also available. Towards the end of our meal, the restaurant served us a dessert of "Grass Jelly Green Beans," which was incredibly filling. ❗This is a delicious hot pot restaurant with a generous spread of ingredients. I'll definitely be back to share this with everyone! 😊 🎀Reminder: There are special offers posted on the wall for your reference! 👍 📍Address: No. 75-1, Section 4, Chengde Road, Shilin District, Taipei City ⌚Opening Hours: 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM Payment: Cash only! ❗ #foodie #foodblogger #hotpot🍲 #ShilinFoodRecommendations #mouthwateringmeals

Flip Flop Hostel - Garden is a hotel near Taipei Main Station, within walking distance. Alternatively, if you're visiting the Zhongshan area, you can also enjoy a relaxing stay. The hotel's gray and white loft-style decor creates a stunning atmosphere when lit up. The walls are adorned with beautiful art for photos. If you'd like to read a book, there's also a library (most of the books are in Chinese). The highlight of the hotel is the cafe downstairs where you can relax. Special! Guests receive a coupon for a burger for breakfast. It's so delicious! We'd love to go back! 😋🩷✨ I highly recommend Flip Flop Hostel - Garden to anyone visiting Taipei. #tripbestfreeaccommodation #taiwan #traveltaiwan #taiwantravel #taiwanhotel #taiwan #taiwantaiwan #taiwantravel

#tripA great choice for family outings The National Taiwan Science Education Center, located in Shilin District, Taipei City, is a large, modern museum dedicated to promoting science education and enhancing scientific literacy. Its core philosophy is "hands-on science," breaking down the barriers of traditional education and allowing visitors to experience the joy and mysteries of science through hands-on experiences and interactive installations. The National Taiwan Science Education Center, along with the adjacent Taipei Astronomical Museum and Taipei Children's Amusement Park, forms the "Taipei Science and Art Park," a premier destination for family outings and in-depth learning. The new National Taiwan Science Education Center boasts ten floors and three underground levels, encompassing exhibition areas covering every major field of science. Its permanent exhibitions (primarily on floors 3-6) feature lively and interactive elements, inviting visitors to explore the vast world of science: Life Sciences (Floors 3 & 4): Beginning with the mysteries of the human body, visitors delve into the foundations of life, including genes, cells, and the five senses. Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Earth Sciences (5th and 6th Floors): Through a variety of hands-on devices, visitors can experience the principles of physics, chemistry, mathematics, and other subjects. In the "Science Game World," visitors can personally try their hand at riding a square-wheeled bicycle and operating a crane, exploring the relationship between force and motion. In addition to its informative permanent exhibitions, the Science and Technology Museum is also known for its challenging and engaging special attractions, creating unforgettable scientific memories: SkyCycle: One of the museum's most popular attractions, SkyCycle allows visitors to ride a bicycle on a cable 20 meters above the ground, spanning the atrium. Weights installed at the bottom of the bicycle give it an extremely low center of gravity, ensuring stable balance. This challenge challenges visitors' courage and practically applies the scientific principle of the center of gravity of a tumbler. Museum Bridge: A transparent wooden bridge spanning the atrium connects the upper exhibition areas, allowing visitors to overlook the main hall from above. It serves as an extension of the museum's circulation and a popular photo spot. The Black Box Immersive Theater: Incorporating the latest audio-visual technology, it provides an immersive visual experience, allowing audiences to understand complex scientific concepts from a whole new perspective. The Stereoscopic Theater and the Motion 3D Theater: Offering stunning 3D films and a 4D motion simulation theater with motion-activated seating, the theater allows audiences to experience the fusion of science and technology while enjoying entertainment. The National Taiwan Science Education Center, with its rich interactive exhibits, exciting experience facilities, and profound educational mission, is a place of knowledge for exploring science, inspiring curiosity, and inspiring creative thinking. Whether children, teenagers, or adults, there's something for everyone here to enjoy. @trip.com_tw "Download the Trip.com app ➜ Search [FamilyTravel] on the homepage ➜ View recommended family travel experiences and exclusive deals!"

Come try the trendy chuanchuan hotpots 😆 Mm Jidao Authentic Chengdu Chuanchuanxiang is a fairly recent opening 🫰 The interior features a vibrant neon-themed design 🎉😻 There are lots of interesting and fresh slogans 🤭 The bonus is that they're open from 12:00 PM to 5:00 AM, so you don't have to worry about running out of food at the convenience store when you're hungry late at night. ❗❗❗ 🌟Soup Base Options: Soup base options are available for 1-2 people and 3-4 people. We chose the spicy pork bone hotpot, with various spiciness levels: mild, medium, and hot. The base price for the spicy hot pot is NT$320 for 1-2 people, and NT$360 for 3-4 people. The broth is unique and the serving method is novel. The spicy broth is full of flavor. If it's too spicy, ask the waiter for more broth to gradually dilute the spiciness. 🌟Must-order ingredients: Duck blood NT$80 (highly recommended). The spicy and nutty flavor melts into your mouth like a real treat. Aside from the à la carte meat and seafood, all other ingredients are skewered on bamboo sticks (one of our main draws). These bite-sized portions are stored in the refrigerator in the back, so you can choose whatever you like! Each skewer is NT$10! If you're not a big fan of hot pot ingredients, there are healthy options like mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini, potatoes, green beans, and green vegetables. There's also a special spicy fish and spicy chicken. 👍👍👍 My husband loves the brain flower à la carte, NT$150. Once cooked through, it's tender and fragrant, like tofu pudding. Finally, I ordered some American beef belly for NT$230. Honestly, I felt the meat could have been a bit larger. While it was delicious, the portion size was a bit disappointing. The price wasn't great, so I'd recommend a bigger portion. 🤣 🌟Methods: Minimum consumption per table is NT$680. A 10% service charge applies. Cash only, no credit cards accepted. Five-star reviews on Google+ earn a 10% discount or a free Nordic Ice Cream (NT$69/stick). 🕰️Hours: Monday to Sunday, 12:00 PM - 5:00 AM :00 📍Address: We ate at the Qingguang restaurant➡️No. 29, Nong'an Street, Zhongshan District, Taipei City ☎️Tel: (02) 2599-6801 💰Average consumption: Starting from 680, this time the meal was over 1500. At the final checkout, the waiter will calculate the total number of skewers eaten, plus the price of the a la carte and soup 💞Recommendation reason: The way of eating is unique and the decoration is eye-catching😍😁 👍Recommendation index: 4.3 stars (out of 5 stars) #100 ways to travel #foodblogger #hotpot 🍲 #creative #spicy hot pot #good place for late night snacks #Taipei food recommendation #Taipei hot pot recommendation #new way to eat hot pot #delicious #food review #N'm Chicken Knife Authentic Chengdu Chuanchuanxiang #Chuanchuanxiang #late night restaurant

📍Taipei Astronomical Science Education Center (Shilin Astronomical Museum) This is absolutely a place where you can spend the whole day. Affordable tickets, fully indoor, and air-conditioned—a perfect rainy day backup spot where you can also gain new knowledge! Right at the entrance, you'll see a long queue for the Cosmic Adventure Train (additional ticket required, General $70/Discount $35). Be prepared for the crowds, especially on weekends~ XD This time, we purchased a combo ticket for the Science Education Center and the Astronomical Museum on Trip.com. We visited the Science Education Center first and then headed to the Astronomical Museum. Inside, we explored lunar exploration, space knowledge, planetary orbits, the relative movements of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, the reasons for polar day and night, Earth's seasonal changes, and more. It was truly enriching. On the 2nd floor, you can capture the most beautiful views of the Milky Way and the Solar System. There's also a children's space play area (with specific opening/playtime restrictions). What's special is the free special exhibition before entering the ticketed area: 2025 "Encounter Aurora – A Guide to Chasing the Northern Lights" Exhibition Dates: 2025/4/2 to 10/12.

I went to "huiloveit Hui Shang Fen" in Taipei's Zhongshan District in search of "Dan Huang Su," a famous Taiwanese pastry. 🥮 ⁡ This shop has pre-cut samples on display, and you can sample almost every type, so you can check the flavor before you buy. 🤤 ⁡ Dan Huang Su is the shop's signature item, featuring a whole red bean and a large salted duck egg yolk inside a pastry crust. 🆒 ⁡ Yu Tou Su is a light purple taro pastry crust filled with taro. It's filled with bean paste and mochi rice cakes, and in the center is a melt-in-your-mouth salted egg yolk. When you cut into it, the oozing egg yolk flows beautifully. Both are sweet and salty, and the cross-section is absolutely beautiful! 🤩 ⁡ ⁡ The stylish packaging in a beautiful orange box makes it a great souvenir. 🎁 ⁡ ‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥ 🥮huiloveit Keisho-chan 🏠Route 42, Lane 226, Section 2, Jianguo North Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei City ⁡ 🍴 Yellow Gold Association 6 pieces (Protein) NT2358 🍴Hotori Bun 4 pieces NT835 ‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥‥ #Egg pastry #Potato pastry #Taiwan souvenir #Taiwan souvenir #Taiwan #Taiwan travel #Taiwanese gourmet #Taipei #taipei #taiwan #taiwantrip #대만 #Let's travel with poi activity #Overseas travel strategy

Semi-buffets have become incredibly popular in Taiwan in recent years, offering a wide selection while focusing on the presentation of carefully selected main courses. Robin's Steakhouse's most popular feature is its visual feast of colorful fruits and vegetables, appetizers, and desserts. 💕 🥗Our favorite feature is the neatly arranged salad area, with its vibrant colors and the generous side dishes of raw salmon, white shrimp, and seafood. Many people skip the steak and simply enjoy the buffet; it's truly filling. 😆 Pair it with the chef's soup, European bread, cold cuts, drinks, and dessert, and you might not be able to leave without sacrificing some. 🥩 The highlight: I chose the "Wood-Roasted Rib-Eye Steak." Without further ado, it was simply melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Although the staff recommended ordering it medium-rare to preserve the tenderness, I couldn't resist the sight of the blood gushing out, so 5 was just right for me. 😋 Opening the lid with the wood-scented aroma was a truly ceremonial experience. 💯 It's noisy when it's not a buffet, but the overall atmosphere is romantic and comfortable. If you're celebrating a birthday, they also offer custom cakes, making it a great place to celebrate with family, friends, and couples. It's such a blessing to be with your loved one. I wish them all their dreams come true and all the best in the world befall them. 🎂 #RegentHotel #AgedSteak #BirthdayRestaurant #GatheringRestaurant #Semi-Buffet

📍Taiwan in 3 Days and 2 Nights!! 🚶♀️ Traveling in Taiwan is super easy with just buses and the MRT, and it's very affordable too.

The fortune sticks are very accurate, and you can also buy lucky charms to take home as cute souvenirs 🤍🩵 Taiwan is easy to explore, safe for solo female travelers, and not scary at all 🫶🏻

Located a few minutes' walk from Taipei's Nanjing Fuxing Station is a rice dumpling shop called "Wang Ji Fucheng Rouzong." The rice dumplings are covered in a slightly sweet filling and are quite large. You order and pay at the entrance, then enter the shop. It's open, with no doors, but it's cool. There are free-to-use condiments behind the register, but since it was my first time, I went simple and didn't change the flavor. An online search suggested that cilantro was available for unlimited serving, but it wasn't available when I visited. However, other customers were adding cilantro to their rice dumplings, so maybe they'll add it if you ask when ordering. The winter melon and fish ball soup was also very delicious. The chopped vegetables, which I think were celery, were a great secret ingredient. This restaurant makes you feel like you're at home. Address: No. 374, Section 2, Bade Rd, Songshan District, Taipei City, Taiwan 105 Exit Nanjing Fuxing Station at Exit 5, follow Nanjing Fuxing North Road, turn right at Chang'an East Road, Section 2, and you'll see it across the street at the three-way intersection a little further down the road. #TaipeiTrip #TaiwanTrip #TaipeiGourmet #TaipeiSoloTravel

I finally stayed at the hotel on my dream list. Trip.Best ranking: Mandarin Oriental. The only hotel in Taiwan to have earned 5-star reviews for five consecutive years. Michelin Guide Red Maison's highest rating! 🌟 "Even Jensen Huang stays here when he visits Taiwan." As soon as I entered the lobby, I was struck by the luxurious European feel. The high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and peacock screens gave me the illusion of stepping into a European palace. No wonder everyone calls it Taipei's most iconic luxury hotel! The service was truly impressive. As soon as I walked in, the concierge greeted me with a smile. Their friendly attitude was so warm that I felt like I was being hosted by a friend. Whether it was helping with luggage or providing directions, they were incredibly attentive. It was like a luxurious home away from home. The facilities include a gym and a spa. My favorite was the outdoor pool on the 6th floor. The 20-meter pool was complemented by lounge chairs and umbrellas. It was so relaxing to just swim and unwind. The ambiance was straight out of a European resort. THE SPA (6th Floor) The moment you walked in, you were greeted with a completely relaxing atmosphere. The design was simple yet elegant. Just sitting there, you felt all your stress melted away. The room design was also thoughtfully designed. The most surprising thing was the small hallway upon entering, so you didn't open directly into the bedroom. The mattress was soft, and you felt completely enveloped when you lay down. The pillows came in two firm and soft options. The tea bags provided were also thoughtfully presented. The wooden boxed Formosa tea (Alishan Oolong, Black Tea, and Jinxuan) was a delight to simply brew tea in. The bathroom was my absolute favorite! ❤️ It had a double sink and was made using French The Diptyque amenities are incredibly relaxing. The bathtub and shower are separate, and the tub is beautifully large. There are also lavender and bergamot bath salts for soaking. It's a true ritual! Experience true luxury accommodations. Mandarin Oriental is definitely on your must-stay list! ▸ Want to experience a free stay like me?

#TaiwanTravel No matter how many times I visit Taiwan, I have to take a photo with Taipei 101. If I don't go, it's like I haven't even been to Taiwan. My favorite spot for photos with Taipei 101 is Sisinan Village. It's easy to get to, not crowded, and perfect for chilling out. There are so many different angles to choose from, and I always find new ones. There are also cafes and shops to browse through. The old buildings and Taipei 101 are a perfect blend of old and new. The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet, and it's surrounded by trees. Whenever anyone asks about photo spots or attractions in Taipei, I always recommend Sisinan Village. Getting there: Get off at Taipei 101 Station and take Exit 2 or 3. #sisinanvillagemuseum #oldmilitaryvillage #oldmilitaryvillage #taipei101 #taipei101 #taiwantravel
