Travel to Taipei

Taipei offers a unique blend of tradition and progress that feels both familiar and inspiring to Filipino visitors. Once a quiet settlement, it has grown into a modern urban hub while holding on to its deep cultural roots. Sleek high-rises rise beside forested hills, and the city’s night markets—alive with the scent of street food and the glow of red lanterns—sit just around the corner from stylish shopping malls and efficient public transport. It’s a place where centuries-old temples stand beside buzzing tech offices, and quiet parks offer a break from the fast-paced rhythm of the city. For many Filipinos, Taipei is more than just a travel destination—it’s a glimpse of how a city can move forward without losing its soul.

[Accommodation Recommendation] 👉🏻 #TaipeiWanderingHotel 

I have two main points for pop-up accommodation selection ✍🏻
1️⃣Convenience of location 2️⃣Hotel facilities

————————————————————————

🗓️【Itinerary】

Take an early flight on Saturday and arrive at Ximending at noon
First, walk 10 minutes from the hotel
👉🏻"Mingming Noodle House"
Of course you have to eat beef noodles when you come to Taipei❤️
(The pickled cabbage here is very delicious and appetizing and is unlimited🤤)
👉🏻"Dezheng"
After a full stomach, you must have a glass of waste water😌
Must drink~~~~✨Cheese milk cap pecan oolong✨
(My taste is sweet, but this half-sugar is sweet enough
People who don't like sweet should pay attention to the sweetness)

After eating and drinking, I recommend everyone to go
🌟Chifeng Street🌟
This place is full of youthful atmosphere
There are markets and many check-in spots, which is very suitable for Citywalk
And there are many special restaurants hidden in the alleys
Go to the coffee shop in the afternoon Come to an izakaya at night🤟🏻
👉🏻 "Sprinkle. White. Sweet"
The internet celebrity shop in recent years is in this area
Its taste is different from traditional mochi, you might as well try it
And there are different flavors to choose from
I recommend the peanut flavor, which is more fragrant~
On the contrary, the black sesame flavor is slightly less fragrant

Day 2 🔆
If you love Taiwanese breakfast, I recommend
👉🏻"Rui Lin Mei Er Mei"
The hotel is a 5-minute walk away
✨Taiwanese egg pancake✨ Radish cake✨ Soy milk✨
Just thinking about it makes me drool😋Must try~

Old brand~People who love it will still eat it after many years🫢
👉🏻"Feng Da Coffee"
Coffee shop in Ximending After trying many restaurants, I still recommend "Feng Da"~ This restaurant is loved by locals and tourists ❤️ The strong and fragrant coffee☕️ After drinking a cup of Hui Shen Coffee, you can be full of energy to go shopping in Xinyi District😏😏 This time I also encountered the opening of the "KODAK" pop-up store If you like street style or text T-shirt style, you may want to go shopping in Taipei in the near future😏👍🏻👉🏻 Dadaocheng Braised Pork Rice (Taipei Station) On the weekend pop-up trip to Taipei, I will end with the most delicious braised pork rice I have ever eaten😌😋💓 Every dish in the picture is a must-recommendation for me! No one else😌

A popular restaurant in the Ximen area! Introducing "Steamed Dumplings" where you can eat juicy and chewy boiled dumplings!

⭐️Review
A steamed dumpling restaurant that serves freshly steamed dumplings after ordering. There are two types of dumplings: regular dough and yellow dough with turmeric. It takes about 8 minutes for the dumplings to be steamed. There is a bench in front of the restaurant, so you can sit and wait.

I took the freshly steamed dumplings back to the hotel and ate them, and the meaty pork without any binders was elastic, juicy and very delicious! The dough is also chewy and satisfying. It will fill you up, but they also provide chopsticks and sauce, so it is also suitable for eating on the go👍

If you like boiled dumplings, please go and try them🫶

📍Address: No. 55, Sec. 2, Hankou Street, Wanhua District, Taipei City 108

Qingtiangang is located in Yangmingshan National Park. You can drive by yourself or take bus No. 15 from Jiantan MRT Station.
Qingtiangang Prairie is a vast grassland and the core attraction of Qingtiangang. There are grazing buffaloes on the grassland. The Qingtiangang circular trail is about 2.3 kilometers long and takes about 50 minutes to walk. The trail is flat and not too strenuous. The trail will separate the grazing buffaloes from tourists.
The weather is very important when you come to Qingtiangang. In autumn and winter, it is easy to be foggy at high altitudes. Before departure, you can search for real-time images and decide whether to go, so as not to be disappointed.

The Shaoshuai Zen Garden is located in Beitou. You can take a bus or taxi from the Xinbeitou MRT Station to the mountain. The Shaoshuai Zen Garden was originally the residence of Zhang Xueliang during his confinement. The architectural style incorporates strong Japanese elements and is infused with Zen design concepts to create a quiet and elegant atmosphere. Zhang Xueliang spent a period of confinement here. Later, this place was transformed into a cultural attraction, allowing today's tourists to walk into history and feel the traces left by that time. The entrance ticket of 200 yuan can be used as a consumption, but we don't need to pay for the ticket if we make an appointment for the hot spring house. After entering the gate, you have to walk up a flight of stairs to enter, and along the way it feels like you are in a Japanese garden.
The hot spring house is very large. In addition to a large bath, there are also reclining chairs and dressing tables. The spring of Shuangxi Hot Spring House is white sulfur spring, which is a slightly acidic pH spring with a milky white color. It has a slightly sulfur smell and is not pungent. It is commonly known as milk soup or beauty soup.

📍Address: No. 34, Youya Road, Beitou District, Taipei City 112

Shilin Chiang Kai-shek Residence is located in Taipei, Taiwan. It is served as the official home of Chiang Kai-shek who was the great leader of the Republic of China and his wife named Soong Mei-ling also live there.

In 1996, the residence was partially opened to the public, allowing visitors to explore its historical significance and cultural heritage.
