2025 Taipei Railway Station Area Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

In 2024, the Christmas tree at Taipei Main Station became the tallest indoor Christmas tree in Taiwan at a height of 24 meters, attracting a large number of tourists and citizens to come and watch. The Christmas tree is 24 meters tall and decorated with 30,000 LED lights, creating a brilliant festive atmosphere. This Christmas tree was jointly created by the Taiwan Railways Corporation and Breeze Taipei Station. The design incorporates the cute characters of LINE FRIENDS. The bottom of the tree is designed to symbolize the Taiwan Railways locomotive, showing a journey of gratitude and the start of dreams. Moreover, the theme of this year's Christmas tree is "Everyone's Search for Light", and there is a wish wall for disadvantaged children, encouraging the public to participate in fulfilling children's Christmas wishes, which is of special significance. 📍Address: Taipei Main Station, 1st floor lobby Exhibition period: From now until January 7, 2025. #ChristmasDestinations2024

I enjoyed a tiramisu and iced coffee at "Three Quarters Dessert". The desserts and drinks here give people a very delicate feeling. Tiramisu has a light and dense texture with distinct layers. Every bite has a rich coffee aroma and slightly sweet cream. The taste is not greasy and is just right. The paired ice-drip coffee showcases its unique flavor. The coffee extracted at low temperature has a mellow sour aroma when you first drink it, followed by a delicate bitterness that complements the sweetness of tiramisu. The overall atmosphere is very comfortable, without overly gorgeous decorations, which makes people focus on the enjoyment of their taste buds. This experience made me feel that dessert is not just food, but more like a moment in life that is worth savoring. Every bite makes you feel the care put into the ingredients and production, simple yet satisfying. This is a good place for one to sit quietly, savor the food and enjoy a moment of tranquility. #100 Ways to Travel

#100 Ways to Travel #Exotic Cafe #Vietnamese Coffee Vietnam’s super famous Gong Coffee is now open in Taiwan! Flagship Taipei Main Station, you can drink without flying to Vietnam, a retro cafe in Vietnam War style, the overall color scheme and design have a nostalgic atmosphere full of ingenuity, and the queues started as soon as it opened in September 😅 🌟The signature "Coconut Coffee Smoothie" is a must-order for first visit. The coffee is full of aroma, rich and strong taste. The best blend of coconut coffee is here. In fact, I have never tasted this in Vietnam. I am quite surprised by the taste💕 🌟I heard that most of the staff are Vietnamese. I actually like the design of the store more. There are two floors of seats in the three-story green building. The green decoration is originally serious but also cute. It feels like you are in Vietnam in a second. Although you must drink coconut coffee smoothie, I tried coconut mung bean smoothie and it was amazing. Ants who like sweet tastes can't miss it🥰 📍 No. 16, Section 1, Kaifeng Street, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City

🚞"Taipei Main Station" I deeply feel its unique charm. Entering the station hall, I was attracted by the black and white floor, which is not only beautiful but also represents the cultural diversity of Taiwan. I was also amazed by the magnificent design inside the station, which combines modernism and classicism. It looks like a palace on the outside, and has modern facilities on the inside, making people feel comfortable. ☺️ In addition to its beautiful design, Taipei Main Station also provides a variety of transportation options, making it convenient for people from different regions to reach this place. The transportation hub of High Speed ​​Rail 🚄, Taiwan Railways 🚉 and MRT 🚇 allows me to transfer to different modes of transportation very conveniently. In addition, there are many shops and restaurants around the station, so I can enjoy food and shopping while waiting. 🍜🍤What surprised me most was that Taipei Main Station is also connected to Taipei Underground Mall and department stores. There are all kinds of shops and food here, allowing me to go shopping and buy souvenirs in the underground mall. This makes me feel that Taipei Main Station is not only a transportation hub, but also a place with rich and colorful living functions. 🛍️🛒 Taipei Main Station is a very amazing place. I am impressed by its beautiful design and rich living functions. I believe that this station will become one of Taiwan’s representative buildings and the pride of Taiwan. 👍🏻

There are many restaurants in the Eslite underground mall at Taipei Main Station. Eating hot pot is the best when the weather is cold😆. This small pot has a very retro decoration and the flavors of the hot pot are also very diverse. The key point is that there is no service charge, only a 20 yuan cleaning fee. There are also white rice, various sauces and drinks for you to take, and dessert is rice tea flavored soft serve ice cream. You can also experience the old-fashioned marbles by filling out the customer opinion survey. I think it is a hot pot restaurant that combines food and fun. When you come to Taipei Main Station and don’t know what to eat, you can come and try it~ This branch may be less conspicuous. I think it has the shortest queue time among all branches. If you don’t like queuing and want to try something new, you can come and try it🤭 #localtravel #familytravel

Taiwan High Speed ​​Rail, which opened in 2007, connects Taipei and Kaohsiung over the 345km distance in about an hour and a half, and is the first case of Japan exporting Shinkansen rolling stock technology. Developed based on the Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen 700 series, the exterior and interior are very similar to the Shinkansen, although some of the systems are different. #TaiwanTrip #Overseas #Taiwan #Railway #Shinkansen

There is an all-you-can-eat Thai hotpot restaurant called "Blue Elephant Court" located on B1 floor of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store in front of Taipei Train Station. I brought my Thai friends there because they had lemongrass hotpot. The taste is not so Thai, the taste has been improved, but the traditional Thai flavor is still shown. The reason for the recommendation is that there are many price options. You can order hot pot at different prices according to your preferences. Friends who don’t eat beef can enjoy it at a low price. Even 1 person can cook...👍 #Taipei Food #Thai Hot Pot #Taipei Station #All You Can Eat Hot Pot #CP Value

Bokju Sejo Hocho Bing A really good value snack! I didn't expect much since it was only 55 NT$2,200, but it was very hot and the outside was crispy and the bread tasted like protein~ There was a lot of meat inside. It had a strong peppery flavor so it felt spicy No. 13, Section 1, Chongqing S Rd, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, Taiwan 100

The Japanese-style minimalist Ueshima Coffee, with warm and nostalgic decoration and comfortable and spacious space, is a good place to have afternoon tea😘😘☕☕❤❤ . I love their raw caramel coffee the most. Friends who love the ecstasy milky aroma will definitely become regular customers like me. The Milk coffee blended with the golden ratio has a rich and high-grade milky aroma⁷ dancing on the tip of your tongue, which is unforgettable😘😘💕💕 . The signature brown sugar coffee is also charming and smooth. Friends who don’t like milky flavor can try this one. Both are highly recommended, and both are recommended to be drunk hot. . #coffee #afternoontearecommendations #coffeeshoprecommendations #familytravel #TaipeiFood #TaipeiFoodMap

Arriving at Taipei Main Station to catch a train, I was suddenly attracted by a burst of fragrance. It turned out to be the cinnamon rolls from Juanjuanrensheng. Each person is limited to four. I bought one original flavor and one toffee flavor. They were quite big. The filling and bread were both good. It was just a little expensive. It’s ok to eat it once in a while☺️👌🏻 #localtourism #foodie

Customers come to Taipei and go directly to the second floor of Taipei Main Station for dinner. It is very convenient. As soon as the elevator goes upstairs, we decide to eat tofu. There are many items to order. I personally like their stone pot bibimbap (beef). It is full of fragrance. The side dishes can be refilled. The fried chicken is also very delicious~ #Local Tour #foodie

Business is always good. Dim sum never disappoints me. The cute shaped buns always make me eat them on the spot and also order some to take away. Dim Sum has a new bun shape~ Black pepper hedgehog barbecued pork bun is so cute that people don’t want to eat it😍😍😍 Black truffle shrimp is highly recommended🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 I don’t know if it’s because it’s raining but every dish tastes so good today

A mysterious hot pot restaurant hidden on the second floor of a residential building. The selling point of this restaurant is its self-service bar, which has milk tea coffee machine, almond tea, Ovaltine, grapefruit tea, sugar-free green tea, Coke Sprite machine, brown sugar ice cream, ice cream, small biscuit area, prince noodles, Taiwanese dry noodles, and white rice. The sauces are also diverse. In addition to the basic scallion, garlic, soy sauce and shacha, there is also XO scallop sauce on the side. The average price per person is over 200, which is very cost-effective. In addition to the broth, they will also add soup base and sauce for you. I recommend this very generous hotpot operator. #Taipei Main Station #Small Hot Pot #Hot Pot #Self-service Bar #Foodie #Pot

Island Star Dream One-day island tour here has *One-day island tour feat* Island tour star Provides: Energetic breakfast/delicious lunch and dinner/special snacks (all local specialties: we had Donghe steamed buns)/unlimited drinks/free beer during dinner (not leaving yet?) Entertainment car: provides DIY experience activities such as Indian painting, colorful painting... and others. Then there is the KTV car, which brings endless fun. The itinerary was so rich that I originally thought that most of the time would be boring, but this myth was completely broken. You can have fun and experience it well. Taitung Station will stop for about 10-20 minutes. You can go out of the station to buy some specialties outside Taitung Station (I bought a whole set of them). It's worth it to go and come back quickly. #Island Star #One-day island tour #TaitungGoodGuy #MarchGoodPlaces2025

🐷DIM DIM SUM 📍Taipei, Taiwan (directly connected to Taipei Station) This time I ordered - Custard cream bun 138 NTD - Char siu bun with black pepper 118 NTD - Truffle and shumai 148 NTD - Steamed rice with Chinese sausage 198 NTD ️📝 You must try this, Pig's custard cream bun. I was surprised at how delicious it was👀 The fluffy dough was filled with a moderately sweet custard cream✨️ More than that, I laughed at how innovative the way to eat it was🤣 You stick chopsticks in your nose and enjoy the cream🐷 Be careful not to get burned as it's too hot⚠️ The black pepper char siu bun is shaped like a hedgehog. This is also cute and delicious💕 Shumai with plump shrimp topped with truffles. The sauce was juicy and went perfectly with the delicious aroma of truffles☺️ I had no idea what steamed rice with Chinese sausage would be like, but it was like steamed rice. The XO sauce was effective and there were plenty of sliced ​​chili peppers, so it was spicy🔥 It was a good volume to share. The menu was also written in Japanese, which was nice🙏 There were many interesting menu items and it seems they have a store in Osaka too, so I'd like to go again💗 . . . . 📌No. 68, Sec. 5, Zhongxiao East Road, Taipei City ⏱10:00-22:00 . . . . #dimdimsum#taipei#taipeifood#taipeigourmet#taipeitourism#taiwantrip#taiwangourmet#taiwantourism#taiwanfood#taiwan#0yentripFebruary2025

Great experience cafe cong in taibei

The bento boxes at this bento shop in Taipei Main Station have a wide variety of dishes at affordable prices. They are neither expensive nor too cheap, but very fresh and delicious. There are many types of rice to choose from. There are tables and chairs for dining in the store. It is a good restaurant to take a break when you are tired. There are free drinks for guests to choose from when dining in the store. The boss and employees are very friendly and happy to take the initiative to greet guests and introduce various lunch box dishes. It is really great. The meals are very hygienic, delicious and healthy. I recommend it to you for reference, so that you who are hungry can have more dining options~ #台北站-地下街 😄😄😄~

#JanuaryTravelSupportEvent #Taiwan #FebruaryTravelSupportEvent Taipei Main Station ➡️ Kaohsiung I bought a one-way HSR Kaohsiung ticket for 52,000 won on Klook! It takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes from Taipei to Kaohsiung! I sat at Taipei Main Station while waiting for the train. There are many restaurants and cafes in the station, so it's nice to wait.

#Taipei Main Station-Eastern Plaza The fried chicken at Lion Fried Chicken is very delicious, with tender meat. There are many flavors of seasoning powder, which are placed on the counter next to the food pick-up area at the checkout counter. You can freely add according to your taste, but many flavors of seasoning powder in the seasoning powder cans are damp and hard, and you can't sprinkle the powder normally. Usually you have to knock the seasoning powder can a few times to successfully sprinkle the seasoning powder flavor you want to add. Seasoning powder is very important. The soul of changing the taste of food, these seasoning powders tend to be heavier, they will be a bit salty and spicy, you can choose the amount of powder according to your own taste, you can download the Eastern APP, you can accumulate points, the points can be converted into cash, sometimes there are activities in the Eastern underground plaza, you can also participate, there are often rich prizes that can be obtained for free, or you can get them if you meet the requirements of the activities, the content and prizes of each event are different, you can freely choose whether to participate. Lion Fried Chicken Shop～ 《Lion King Carrot Cake》 The cake body is very tender, and the rice noodle skin is very crispy, but the cake body, the turnip cake is made of fine flour batter, and there is no chewy turnip shreds. It is sprinkled with seasoning powder, and the seasoning powder is used to enhance the flavor. It is a heavy taste, but it is delicious. I add cheese powder and a little spicy and seaweed powder... If you have a lighter taste, it is not recommended to add too much seasoning powder, or you can choose seasoning powder with a lighter taste to add flavor, but the original Lion King Turnip Cake without seasoning powder is also delicious. If you don’t add seasoning powder, it’s also okay, and it’s also delicious~ 《Signature basil rice bowl》 The chicken breast strips are very tender, the coating is well seasoned, very delicious, very fragrant, and have the taste of fermented bean curd. I haven't eaten there for a while, I don't know if I remembered it wrongly, haha~ I really like eating soy milk chicken~ha~ English Black Tea The tea leaves of English black tea and Taiwan's traditional black tea have obviously different tastes. I also like to drink it, which has a more fragrant and light taste. Taiwan's traditional black tea tends to have a heavier and more fragrant taste. Taiwan's traditional black tea must be sweetened to highlight the authentic black tea taste of Taiwan's traditional black tea - strong, fragrant, mellow, thick, sweet - with a strong cane sugar aroma, which can enhance the unique flavor of the tea itself and create the unique taste of Taiwan's traditional black tea. The taste is obviously different from the bubble tea in the general hand-shaken beverage shop. Taiwan's traditional black tea is a more textured black tea flavor in Taiwan. British black tea is more fragrant and light, the most common black tea flavor in the UK that quenches thirst. I also like the unique fragrance of tea. I forgot whether British black tea and Earl Grey black tea have the same tea. I will go there to eat and drink later and ask more about it. It reminds me of my memories. Haha. The other dishes at Lion Bomber Fried Chicken are also very delicious. If I have a chance to visit in the future, I will try other delicious foods. Most of the time, I go there during meal time, so I mostly choose the bento type and add some other dishes to make a bento set, which is more convenient to eat. If I am not in a hurry, I will also buy drinks from other stores to go with the meal. The above little dining experience is for your reference, feel free to choose and buy~😸😸😸🤭🤭🤭~

When you walk into Coffee Mountain, you can feel its unique atmosphere at first sight, as if it is a hidden corner in the city, allowing people to let down their guard and immerse themselves in it quietly. I particularly like the music played in the store, which is a bit like a combination of jazz and light electronic music. It is not too noisy, but quiet enough to fill the space and make people feel relaxed. The coffee aroma is rich but not overbearing, just like the overall style of the store, low-key and intriguing. I ordered their recommended signature coffee, which had a subtle layered taste, mellow with a hint of sourness, and a long aftertaste. I picked up a book and sat here for a long time. The music in my ears and the coffee in front of me seemed to form a delicate balance, which made me slow down my pace unconsciously. This place is not as noisy as the popular internet celebrity coffee shops, it is more like a small world of your own. Coming here to relax occasionally may be the best gift in a busy life. #food #coffee #hipster

After entering the door, you can feel a warm atmosphere, not overly decorated, but relaxing. I chose the duck breast with sautéed mushroom sauce for brunch, but I didn’t expect the dish to have more layers than expected. The duck breast has a smoky aroma and is cooked to the perfect degree of doneness. It is paired with the rich flavor of the fried mushroom sauce. You can feel the blend of gravy and sauce in every bite. The small pancake next to it is the finishing touch. It is slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a light milky aroma. It is very good to eat alone, but when eaten with duck breast, the contrast between sweet and salty makes the taste more layered. This combination is not common, but surprisingly harmonious, making people slow down and enjoy the meal. #food #brunch #light meals

A cozy cafe inside Taipei Main Station. This place recreates the old Japanese cafe culture, giving off a retro vibe. It is quite popular among the locals, so it tends to be crowded. It is recommended to secure a seat before placing your order. 🔸️Ueshima Coffee Lounge UESHIMA COFFEE LOUNGE 上島珈琲店 站前店 📍b1, No. 49, Section 1, Zhongxiao West Road, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, Taiwan 100 ⏰️07:00 ~ 21:00 (Fri, Sat until 21:30) ✔️Located next to Exit M4, B1, K Zone Underground Mall, Taipei Main Station

The first time I tasted the Earl Grey Chicken White Soup from Chawu Ramen, it completely refreshed my impression of ramen soup. When you take a sip, the richness and warmth of the chicken soup hits you immediately, but the faint tea fragrance slowly dissipates in the aftertaste, making the soup not too thick, but adding a bit of freshness and layering. This combination is very special. You won’t feel sick of it even until the last sip, and you may even drink the whole bowl of soup unconsciously. The combination of tea aroma and chicken soup strikes a delicate balance, rich but not overpowering, refreshing without losing flavor. The fusion of noodles and soup is just right, allowing people to feel the delicate changes in flavor with every bite. "Chawu Ramen" is not just about filling your stomach, but also about using a bowl of tea-scented ramen to bring an experience that relaxes your taste buds. This kind of soup is worth savoring slowly and recalling. #ChristmasDestinations2024 #FoodTour #Hand-Pulled Noodle #gourmet food

This time, I flew to Taiwan from New Chitose Airport. There was a big Christmas tree decorated in the airport. When I arrived at Taipei Station, there were Christmas trees everywhere, both inside the station and on the streets. The tree at Taipei Station in particular is a seasonal sight in winter in Taipei. People passing by on the trains come and go, and some even sit down and relax. It's also a famous meeting spot. The Christmas tree set up at Taipei Station is said to be the tallest indoor tree in Taiwan. The tree is usually kept up after Christmas, and will be up until January 7th next year 📸 #Taipei #trip #Christmas #WinterTrip #Christmas #OverseasTrip
