Taiwan|Detailed guide for a solo female traveler's four-day, three-night trip to Taipei‼️
🔎Next, I will talk about my solo trip to Taipei daily itinerary and food details:
Day1: Taoyuan Airport-Taipei Main Station-Ximending
✔️After getting off Taoyuan Airport, I took a bus directly to Taipei Main Station (40 minutes, 150 Taiwan dollars). You can choose to stay near Taipei Main Station. I stayed in Ximending, one stop away from Taipei Main Station, and I ate and drank a lot in Ximending at night! Recommended food:
1. A Zong Rice Noodles🍜: The most popular one, the taste is great!
2. Small pepper squid soup: You must order braised pork rice!
3. Tiantianli: Their radish cake and oyster omelet are delicious!
Day2: National Taiwan University-Women's Bookstore-Shilin Night Market
✔️National Taiwan University is really big and beautiful, with quaint buildings, tall and long coconut boulevards and blooming greenery all over the campus, boys and girls riding bicycles chatting and laughing, it is really a campus idol drama! The Women's Bookstore is a few minutes' walk from NTU. It is a female-themed bookstore where girls can be whoever they want to be! I stayed there for an afternoon, quietly talking to Beauvoir and Woolf on a rainy afternoon in Taipei. I went to Shilin Night Market in the evening. The night market is similar to Ximending. You can buy whatever you want without any problems!
Day3: Tamsui High School-Tamsui Old Street-Tiaoshi Station
✔️ I went to Jay Chou's alma mater in the morning, but the high school is currently unable to enter. You can also check in at the Aletheia University next door, which is also very beautiful. Opposite the school is Fisherman's Wharf, the pine forest on the campus and the sea in the distance, the shoulders leaning against each other and the orange sunset. The students in the school are really happy! It takes a few minutes to walk to Tamsui Old Street. There are really many delicious foods here! ! ! After eating, you can take [962/963] from Tamsui Station to Tiaoshi Station (about an hour away). Behind Tiaoshi Station is the endless blue Pacific Ocean, which is worth a visit.
Day4: Museum-Shifen Station-Jiufen Station-Chifeng Street
✔️The museum is relatively close to Taipei Station, so you can go there to feel the depth of history. Shifen Station is to take the bus at Taipei Station and transfer at Ruifang. The journey takes about an hour (the ticket price is 68 Taiwan dollars). This is where Shen Jiayi released sky lanterns in those years. The price of sky lanterns is the same. You can choose the first or the last one, so that the background of the photo is cleaner. Then you can walk along the station to Shifen Waterfall, which is spectacular and cool. Then you can take a bus from Shifen Station to Jiufen or take the forest train back to Taipei. Jiufen is recommended to go at night, which has a Spirited Away feeling. Chifeng Street is a literary and artistic street district, and you can go to Citywalk for a while.
❤️Taipei is a place where the bustling urban feeling and the strong atmosphere of fireworks coexist. Here you can feel the simple and warm kindness of sincere Taipei people to strangers every day. They will greet you gently and take good care of you. At that time, I feel that I have become gentle because I am treated gently by the whole world. They will call you sister sweetly, just like family. This is the infinite charm of Taiwan

Taipei Dongmen Station Delicious Tiramisu Nostalgic Cafe.
| Taipei. Dongmen |
'Exaggerated Antique Cafe' is a cafe I stumbled upon on the map. What caught my eye was the blue wooden window frame surrounding the entrance of an old military dependents' village house. Inside, the cafe is filled with nostalgic furniture and old items collected by the owner, stacked in every corner (you'll keep saying 'so cute~ so cool~ so nostalgic~). On weekday afternoons, there aren't many people, and the energetic and straightforward owner warmly greets you.
I chose the lemon-flavored signature tiramisu, #CoffeeLemonTiramisu, which has an ice cream-like texture. The slight bitterness of the coffee paired with the sugar crystals and lemon slices on top is truly delicious!! The pudding has a simple and rustic appearance, with a smooth texture, though it might be a bit too sweet if I had to nitpick!! Finally, pairing it with a latte featuring the owner's cute hand-drawn designs, you can quietly enjoy a nostalgic afternoon~ it's quite nice.
🔰 Coffee Lemon Tiramisu / $150
🔰 Iced Latte / $180
🔰 Adult's Pudding / (forgot the price)
Note that there are some areas in the cafe where photography is not allowed, as per the owner's only rule, which includes the Buddha table and the menu (but the menu is really cute too)~ please respect this.

Taipei 101 Observatory: Stunning Skyline Views
The Taipei 101 Observatory offers a breathtaking skyline view experience. Standing on the observation deck feels like being above the clouds, with the entire cityscape of Taipei unfolding before your eyes. The towering buildings, bustling traffic, and distant mountains and bays create a magnificent panorama. The rapid ascent of the elevator provides an unprecedented thrill and excitement. The wind damper on the observation deck is a perfect blend of technology and art, showcasing human ingenuity and creativity. This visit deeply impressed me with the splendor and beauty of Taipei.
Taipei Travel Dongmen Station Hipster Style Afternoon Tea Shop Wool and Flowers.
The popular Yongkang shop 'Wool and Flowers' has a cute and cozy interior, which somehow gives me the illusion of being at Shida University.
The desserts don't quite suit my taste—the pudding texture is really smooth, but the caramel part is a bit too sweet for me, which is a bit of a pity. The caramel crisp latte was just a craving.
If you want to chat for an afternoon, it's highly recommended, but if you want to eat to your heart's content, there are more options around Dongmen.
Caramel Crisp Latte / $170
Wool and Flowers Special (Lemon Americano) / $160
Brown Sugar Milk / $160
Pudding / $120

Tea time at super nice Starbuck in Taipei Xi Meng Ding.
#afternoonteatime #100waysoftravel #taiwantrip
Every time when I go Taipei I’ll visit this Starbucks at Han Zhong (漢中門市), located in Ximending – one of the busiest areas in Taipei. It was the first “Old Building Starbucks” store in Taiwan.
This building features a strong local feeling. The canton tile exterior design and wooden indoor decorations have created a pristine atmosphere for this Starbucks.
I guarantee that you will be stunned by the spaciousness created by the strut structure from the rooftop to the bottom. It’s just so beautiful!
Lan Fang Noodle House
Liaoning Street Delicacies
Nanjing Fuxing
A Must-Eat in Taipei
Located at the Liaoning Street Night Market and near Nanjing Fuxing Station, Lan Fang Noodle House has a long history at this prime location.
Specializing in numbing and spicy flavors, their signature dishes include Lan Fang Sichuan Pepper Noodles and Sour & Spicy Rice Noodles. The spicy taste stimulates your taste buds and keeps you coming back for more.
Their dumplings and side dishes are also delicious, each a classic in its own right. Feel free to order whatever you like! 👍
A Taste of Taipei 004 | Authentic Korean Bistro Run by a Korean Oppa · Halu Good Days
After a busy week, a small weekend is the perfect time to have a drink and chat. A Korean bistro is an ideal choice for this. Located in Lane 216 of the Eastern District, Halu Good Days is an authentic restaurant run by a Korean oppa. It is usually very busy and sometimes requires waiting in line, making it a great place for gatherings with friends.
Marinated raw crab is a key dish that tests the difficulty of Korean cuisine. Freshness and lack of fishiness are crucial. The creamy texture with each bite makes you want to spin around ❤️
The sea snail and mussel hangover soup is also exceptional. Just drinking the soup is enough to amaze you, not to mention the abundance of ingredients inside. I highly recommend it 👍
Klang Boy Malaysian Cuisine
Gongguan Delicacies
Exotic Cuisine
Located near National Taiwan University in Gongguan, Klang Boy Malaysian Restaurant is an authentic Malaysian eatery. Although the storefront appears small, there are plenty of seats inside.
Ordering is done by selecting the dish codes, and there is a wide variety of options available. From Bak Kut Teh and Kway Teow to curry and Hainanese chicken rice, the menu is extensive, and the portions are generous. For instance, the toast comes with four slices, which is great! 👍

Foreign friends visiting Taipei must try the 'Dadaocheng Braised Pork Rice'
When foreign friends visit Taipei, they often love to explore several unique attractions. Dadaocheng and Dihua Street are usually must-visit spots. Among them, they especially love to go for this bowl of braised pork rice. It's already quite famous in Wanhua. Although I'm not a braised pork rice enthusiast, I can call it one of the representatives among many classic snacks!
🌟 The braised pork here is mostly fatty meat. I don't eat fatty meat, but my friends love its rich yet not greasy taste. They also love pairing it with spicy pickled vegetables, which surprisingly taste quite good! I always remind them to add a half-cooked fried egg. Mixing the egg yolk with the rice is the classic way to enjoy it 😋. For those who can handle the heat, adding the chili sauce on the side makes for a perfect combination!
🌟 For those who love intestines, you can order the old braised large intestines. Other options like braised cabbage, bamboo shoots, pork knuckles, and braised pork belly can turn a snack shop into a feast. Don't forget to order the radish rib soup for a satisfying meal!
💯 If you have the chance to bring foreign friends to Dadaocheng, a food tour here is a must. The combination of large chunks of fatty and lean braised pork with rich soup and half-cooked egg rice is delightful. The taste and environment are great, and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended 👍
📍 No. 17, Lane 220, Chang'an West Road, Datong District, Taipei City
Foreign friends visiting Taipei must try 'Ding Hao Zi Lin' Dumpling House.
When friends from abroad visit Taipei, they often love several of the city's unique attractions. The Eastern District is usually a must-visit itinerary. Besides shopping, I always recommend them to dine at this place, which I consider my post-work kitchen. With a variety of dishes, Zi Lin Dumpling House never gets old, no matter how many times you visit. 😋
🌟 The main dishes include steamed and fried dumplings, soup noodles, mixed noodles, and pancakes. If you're dining with a group, it's a good idea to order a variety and share. The middle section offers side dishes, mostly common cold dishes that are hard to go wrong with. They also have hot and sour soup and beef egg soup to pair with your meal. In the summer, the barley and mung bean soup is cheap, delicious, and refreshing!
🌟 For first-time visitors, I recommend trying two things: the 'potstickers,' which have a crispy skin and juicy filling, making them a popular choice; and the steamed dumplings, with options like 'fresh meat dumplings' and 'vegetable dumplings.' 🥟 The dumpling skin is chewy, and the filling is rich and flavorful. They taste even better with the accompanying sauce, and you'll find yourself eating one after another. 👍
💯 This place is popular among tourists from Japan and Hong Kong. Luckily, the location expanded, so you can get a seat quickly even if there's a line. If you get a chance to visit again, I highly recommend the spicy dry beef noodles (better than the soup version) and the beef roll pancake, which are my go-to dishes! Delicious.
📍 B1, No. 97, Section 4, Zhongxiao East Road, Da'an District, Taipei City (Ding Hao Shopping Mall)
Recommended Taipei Attraction: Dadaocheng Wharf Plaza, Enjoy a Tranquil Time.
🧳🧳🧳🧳
Recommended Taipei Attraction: Dadaocheng Wharf Plaza😍😍😍
It's very close to Dihua Street, just a short walk away.👍👍👍👍
The sunset in the evening is beautiful, and you can also rent a boat to cruise the river. It's really great.👍👍👍👍
There are food vendors around, the atmosphere is very nice, and the location is very convenient.😁😁😁😁
It's suitable for walking and cycling along the riverside, enjoying a tranquil time.🚴🚴🚶🚶🚶🌈🌈🌈
Hiking to the Highest Peak of Taipei, Qixing Mountain
Although this is summer, but the weather at Qixing Mountain, located on Yangmingshan, is still good for hiking. To me, it is really worth all of my exhuastion! At the 1,120-meter height, the scenery is absolutely incredible.
Not only wonderful 360-degree see-scape, flowers, and wild animals, but also able to see the steam even though it is located on an extinct volcano.
I recommend you to start from Xiaoyoukeng, main peak, east peak and lastly Lengshuikeng. Then, you can visit another beautiful spot, Qingtiangang. (You can see my previous post~)
P.S. I don't recommend you to start at Lengshuikeng like me. It took more energy.

Supranormal Bakery Cafe: Brunch and Egg Tarts are Amazing!
Went for brunch, unexpectedly got in line for the egg tarts!
What I ordered: Spicy Shrimp and Soft Egg Croissant 🦐🥚🥐
Super! Impressive!
It looks like a taste you can recall from memory
One bite 😍 How can it be so delicious 😚
Southeast Asian flavor, refreshing, appetizing, not greasy, very memorable
Paired with a crispy croissant! Wow 🤩
I'll order it again next time!
Early in the morning, Supranormal was packed with people lining up for the egg tarts!
We stumbled upon it and couldn't resist joining the line!
The egg tarts are similar to Hong Kong's Bakehouse (HKD12 each)
The outer layer is very crispy but the filling is slightly too sweet
(It gets a bit cloying, but another bite of the crust balances it out)
Worth trying once, but I still prefer Bakehouse!
If you can't go to Hong Kong, you can buy one here to satisfy your craving
(After all, NTD90 each is really expensive)
🤫 I originally wanted to take it home
But decided to give it a fair competition with Bakehouse.
Hong Kong still wins by a bit
Bakehouse:
Bite-sized, crispy outside, not too sweet filling, can eat two at once
(Only problem is the calories), seems there's no purchase limit!!
Supranormal:
Big and satisfying, crispy outside, slightly too sweet filling, guilt-inducing, limited to six per person

Taipei's Best Value Hot Pot: 'Zhu Jian Happiness Hot Pot'
As prices continue to rise, finding a hot pot place that offers quality meat, vegetables, and a variety of side dishes at a good value is essential. I've visited this semi-buffet style restaurant (excluding main dishes) multiple times, especially on weekends when I want to enjoy unlimited vegetables, coffee, and ice cream for a leisurely afternoon. Zhu Jian is definitely the top choice for budget-conscious hot pot lovers. 👍
🌟 The semi-buffet offers a wide selection of vegetables and hot pot ingredients, and with a minimum price of 400 per person, the variety and quality are impressive. The restaurant is dedicated to providing fresh ingredients, and even the frozen hot pot items feel like they are of higher quality. I highly recommend the meat, from affordable options to wagyu beef and seafood platters, all offering great value. There are also many additional soup base options to choose from, making it worth multiple visits. 💕
💯 There's also a membership reward program where you earn points with each visit that can be redeemed for different dishes like beef, chicken, pork, or seafood. This means you can get an extra plate of meat each time you visit, ensuring a satisfying meal. Chatting over drinks makes for a sumptuous dining experience. 😋
📍 2F, No. 120, Section 4, Zhongxiao East Road, Da'an District, Taipei (Zhongxiao Branch 2), with many other branches in Taipei.

2. De Zeng Doujiang Shop - Hot tofu, xiaolongbao

Having a full breakfast gives you the energy to travel 😉
Beitou Half Day Trip 🇹🇼✨
#chinatrip
We spent half a day exploring Beitou district while travelling to Taipei and this is such a quiet and serene destination to visit! It is just a 30minutes train ride from Taipei Main Station via red line, which is an easily accessible and reachable destination. We then took another train ride to Xinbeitou station which is nearer to all of the touristy spots. Famous for its natural wonder of hot springs, the Beitou district is full of hot springs resorts, public baths and even museum dedicated for hot springs culture, such a unique place to visit. Would recommend to spend a night at their hot spring resort, especially during winter. Some of the popular destination that we visit include the Beitou Park, Beitou hot spring museum, Thermal Valley and the beautiful Beitou library. The district is filled with lush greeneries and is really calm and slow paced! Lovely place to visit!

Overall, the quality is good, with some special meats being very delicious. The average consumption per person is about one thousand Taiwan dollars.
