Taipei—a city that blends tradition and fashion—provides a unique blend of urban chic, whether enjoying a morning breakfast at a time-honored establishment, basking in the sunset by the river, or enjoying the cultural and creative markets at night—everything offers a unique whirlwind of life amidst the bustling city. This Taipei itinerary explores must-try breakfast spots, romantic sunset piers, hipster hangouts, and the trendy Ximending district, giving you a glimpse into the authentic Taipei lifestyle in just one day! Taipei Highlights My itinerary began with a bustling breakfast at Fuhang Soy Milk, followed by afternoon photography and exhibitions at the Huashan Cultural and Creative Park. At dusk, I enjoyed a beer and watched the sunset at the Dadaocheng Container Market, and finally, a touch of youthful energy in Ximending. On a sunny day in Taipei, I enjoyed a meal at a restaurant with my significant other, with modern buildings and tree shadows outside the window and hot meat snacks and bread on the table. Every moment was a moment of lasting happiness. Recommended Attractions 1. Fuhang Soy Milk Address: 2F, No. 108, Section 1, Zhongxiao East Road, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City Hours: 5:30 AM - 12:30 PM Signature Dishes: Pancakes with Fried Dough Sticks, Shredded Radish Pancakes, Sweet Soy Milk, Salty Soy Milk, Caramel Cookies Tip: Arrive by 7 AM. Although there's a long line, this classic Taiwanese breakfast is a favorite among tourists and locals alike. Don't hesitate to follow the line. The soy milk is smooth yet not overly sweet, the fried dough sticks are crispy, and the caramel cookies are a must-try. 2. Huashan 1914 Cultural and Creative Park Address: No. 1, Section 1, Bade Road, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City Hours: Open all day, year-round This is a must-see for Taipei's hipsters, featuring exhibitions, handmade crafts, designer goods, and delicious food. Enjoy taking photos while browsing, and there are often cultural markets and performances on weekends. 3. Dadaocheng Wharf & Container Market Dadaocheng Wharf Address: Datong District, Taipei City Dock Container Market Address: No. 5 Water Gate, Minsheng West Road, Datong District, Taipei City Hours: The container market is open Monday to Friday from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM. This area is especially beautiful in the evenings. Stroll along the riverbank and watch the sun slowly sink into the Tamsui River. On weekends, the wharf transforms into a food market, with container shops selling a variety of snacks and beer, creating a truly holiday-like atmosphere. Couples can sit by the river, enjoy a cold beer, and savor a delicious meal as the sky gradually darkens, embracing the romance of Taipei. 4. Ximending Address: No. 127, Hanzhong Street, Wanhua District, Taipei City Opening Hours: 5:00 PM - 10:00 PM (most small shops and night market stalls open in the evening) This area represents Taipei's youthful and trendy scene, showcasing Japanese and Korean fashion, cosmetics, and international snacks. If you're tired of shopping, grab a streetside beef noodle stall or Korean fried chicken. It's a great place to experience the crowds and nightlife in the evening. Practical Tips 1. Fuhang Soy Milk is incredibly crowded in the morning, so it's recommended to leave early; the lines move quickly, so don't be intimidated by the crowds. 2. Dadaocheng Wharf is at its most beautiful during sunset, so arrive before dusk for stunning photos. The Container Market offers a wide selection of snacks, and beer and fried food are a popular combination. 3. Huashan Cultural and Creative Park is recommended for a half-day weekend visit. The exhibitions and market are diverse, making it a must-see for those interested in cultural and creative industries. 4. Ximending Main Street is bustling at night, making it a great stop after visiting the pier.
