The local food has always interested me the most. Speaking of local food, you can't miss the night markets. Here are the four most popular night markets: Shida night market, Raohe street night market, Shilin night market and Danshui night market.
Daytime entertaiment in Taipei: Ximending shopping, wufenpu market, hot spring spa, Taipei 101, Maokong(it is like a cafe, has very good environment, you can have a cup a coffee and then read a book, just enjoy your peacful afternoon), etc. Night life: night markets, karaoke and night clubs. The night clubs there is totally different from the United States. In Taipei, night clubs open 7 days a week, and many clubs would open until morning.
Taipei is really a very interesting place to travel. People there are extremly nice. What amazes me the most is the shopping. The Taiwanese sales are the most professional in the world, except for the Japanese. When I was on the street, I did not plan to buy anything. I was just looking around with my friend. A young girl(the sales) came by, and told me many interesting stories about the products that I just touched. The sales was very friendly, speaking with a very nice tone, just like chatting with a friend. After a while, I felt so bad that I didn't buy anything from her. Then I bought something. This happened many times, I bought around 3 items each day even I knew that was the sale strategic of them, I still bought more than 10 items that I had never thought I would buy.
Taipei is a city that never sleeps. You can find so many things to do in this city. For example, there are several night markets in Taipei and it's easy to find out. You can take a taxi or take MRT(it's like a Bart). I prefer to take the MRT because it's cheaper and convenient. Inside the MRT, they provide English announcements for every stop so that you will not miss it. My boyfriend just came back from Taiwan. He told me he was hungry in the middle of the night then he went to night market to eat several small snacks with his friend. I told him we have the ''Denny's'' and it's open 24 for7 but it's not the same.
