⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Exploring Taipei, Taiwan : Taipei Main Station to Shilin Night Market (December 15, 2019)
As a native New Yorker traveling to Taiwan for the first time, I take the Taipei Metro from Taipei Main Station to the Shilin Night Market during my first day.
From Wikipedia:
Shilin (Shihlin) Night Market (Chinese: 士林夜市; pinyin: Shìlín Yèshì) is a night market in Shilin District, Taipei, Taiwan, and is often considered to be the largest and most famous night market in Taiwan.
The night market encompasses two distinct sections sharing a symbiotic relationship: a section formerly housed in the old Shilin Market building, containing mostly food vendors and small restaurants; and the surrounding businesses and shops selling other nonfood items. The food court holds 539 stalls, and the second floor serves as a parking lot for 400 cars.
In addition to the food court, side streets and alleys are lined with storefronts and roadside stands. Cinemas, video arcades, and karaoke bars are also prevalent in the area. Like most night markets in Taiwan, the local businesses and vendors begin opening around 16:00. As students begin returning home from school, crowds reach their peak between 20:00 and 23:00. Businesses continue operating well past midnight, closing around 01:00 or 02:00.
Tourist traffic has increased in recent years due to the opening of the Taipei Metro system. The night market is closest to Jiantan Station on Tamsui–Xinyi line (Tamsui/Red Line), and can be seen from the station platform.

Taipei, Taiwan Hotel Review: Shilin District - Hello Taipei Guesthouse
We recently traveled to Taipei, Taiwan for 2 days on a 16 day trip traveling Asia. Hello Taipei Guesthouse is the first hotel we stayed in on our trip. Unfortunately they didn't have wifi in this hotel and the rooms smelled quite musty. I honestly would not recommend this hotel. But we were in the Shilin district and only 30 seconds from the Shilin Night Market! So if you can find a better hotel in Shilin District in Taipei Taiwan it's a great location to be and it's close to the metro!

Taiwan Street Food and Attractions - BLOWTORCH Steak at Shilin Night Market! (Day 2)
We first visited Longshan Temple and then had amazing Taiwan street food at Shilin Night Market!
►Check out my Taipei Travel Guide for Food Lovers:
►Subscribe to my videos:
Day 2 of traveling in Taiwan was a big sightseeing day. We went to Longshan Temple, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial, at dumplings, and finished with the famous Shilin Night Market.
The first place we went was Longshan Temple, one of the most famous and most popular temples in the heart of Taipei, and it’s typically included as one of the main things to do in Taipei. Since we were staying in Ximending, an area not too far from Longshan Temple, we decided to walk there, but it’s also easily accessible by Taipei Metro. The temple was extremely busy and packed full of people. The busyness created a real buzz and interesting feeling at the temple. After spending about 30 minutes at Longshan Temple we moved on our next Taipei attraction.
Our next stop on this sightseeing day in Taipei was Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, one of the most famous landmarks in the entire city. Again, we easily got there by metro, and then we could just walk around on foot once we got there. On the same compound you’ll also find the National Theater and a number of beautiful buildings, but the main building, colored white and blue and that looks like a castle is Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. We happened to arrive right on the hour so we caught a bit of the changing of the guards ceremony, but it also takes places every hour if you go.
For lunch we walked over to a restaurant called Jin Ji Yuan (好公道金雞園), which is a local restaurant serving a variety of Taiwanese food, but especially known for their version of xiao long bao, which are Taiwanese soup dumplings. It only took about 10 minutes to walk to the restaurant from Chiang Kai-shek, and it was well worth the walk as we were all hungry. They were cooking all the food downstairs, and they led us upstairs to eat - where there was a full dining room. The menu was in both Chinese and English, but the menu checksheet to choose the dishes we wanted to order was all in Chinese, so we just did our best to choose the same ones. We order a couple steamed baskets of xiao long bao and a few side dishes including some of their famous fried chicken. Everything was delicious, and this was one of our first full meals of Taiwanese food.
After lunch we took a short rest back at our hotel for a few hours, and then made our way over to Shlin Night Market, often considered the biggest and the most legendary night market in Taiwan’s long list of amazing night markets. We arrived in the late afternoon, and already, there was a massive crowd there ready to go shopping and to eat snacks out of control. I was amazing at the amount of people and the amount of food available at the Shilin Night Market - and even though some people say it’s touristy, and that locals have given up on Shilin Night Market, I think it’s still quite popular with locals. While at Shilin Night Market I was able to eat some delicious Taiwanese street food, and I had a piece of stinky tofu (which I didn’t know was stinky tofu at the time of eating it). Shilin Night Market is a thrill to visit, one of the amazing things to do when you’re in Taipei.
That was it for Day 2 of this Taiwan travel and food guide vlog series. Thank you for watching!

TAIWAN/TAIPEI NIGHT MARKET TOUR/TAIPEI SHOPPING STREET/TAIPEI TOURIST PLACES/SHILIN NIGHT MARKET
While planning for my Taipei trip, the most suggested thing was to go to Night Market. Since i visited the capital city Taipei i definitely took advantage of my nights and visited the night markets. If you visit Taiwan then visiting the Taipei night markets should be your number one thing to do. There are night markets all over Taipei alone at least 30 markets but i narrowed it down to the top 2 famous night markets. These markets are famous for their cheap clothing and mouth watering street food. One can shop almost everything in these markets and can enjoy variety of foods from grilled, barbecue to delicious desserts. Reaching to these markets is very convenient as they are located next to public transport.
1 - Shilin Night market: Timing 3:30 PM to 1:00 AM
2 - Raohe Night market: Timing 4:00 PM to 12:00 AM
TIPS FOR VISITING NIGHT MARKET:
1 - Bring Cash
2 - Don't go too early
3 - Follow the crowd
4 - Come hungry
5 - Don't bargain
6 - USE THE REST ROOM PRIOR, AS MOST NIGHT MARKETS DON'T HAVE ANY REST ROOMS

Beitou Hot Springs Tour and HUGE Countryside Taiwanese Chinese Food Feast! (Day 7)
►Read more about visiting Beitou Hot Springs:
►Check out my Taipei Travel Guide for Food Lovers:
►Subscribe to my videos:
Day 7 in Taiwan, was one of our best days so far. Ying and I woke up at our new hotel, and we decided to go on a quick day trip to Beitou hot springs, a famous area in Taipei, where there’s a natural hot water spring, and home to quite a lot of history, attractions and relaxing hotels. It was very easy to get from central Taipei to Beitou by using public transportation on the train, and it took about 30 minutes to get from central Taipei to Xin Beitou station. From Xin Beitou station, we walked over to the hot springs area.
2:15 Beitou Public Library
The first place we arrived on our day trip to Beitou hot springs was the Beitou Public Library. The library is fully in use, but the reason it’s popular to visit and it’s kind of an attraction is because of its unique architecture and its eco friendly design. We didn’t spend more than a few minutes there, but just looked at it from the outside and then took a quick peek inside.
2:45 Beitou Hot Springs Museum
One of the main attractions at Beitou is the hot springs museum, originally the original Japanese bathhouse in Beitou. It’s not a huge museum, and the price is free, so it’s a good place to just check out for a few minutes before moving on.
3:29 Beitou Plum Garden
I thought it was just going to be a garden with plums, but it was actually the former home of a famous Chinese calligrapher. The house was another quick stop on our day trip, but worth the quick visit.
3:52 Beitou Hot Springs - Public Bath
The time finally came to visit the main attraction at Beitou, the hot springs. They have many higher end spas and hotels with private baths, but I went for the public Taiwanese style hot spring bath. They didn’t allow any photography inside, but it was pretty nice and I enjoyed soaking in the natural hot water for a few minutes before moving on with our day.
4:54 Thermal Valley
One of the most famous things to see in Beitou is the Thermal Valley, a big pool of water that’s boiling hot and is the source of the hot springs for Beitou. The water is really hot and there’s not swimming so it’s more of just a viewpoint and a place to take photos.
While there, we met up with Joe, Raymond, and his Father, by random chance. They were visiting from California and were spending the day at the Beitou hot springs and were en-route to have lunch and go to another hot spring and invited us to go along with them.
6:32 Epic Taiwanese Country Style Farm Lunch
Along with Joe, Raymond, and his Father, we drove through the mountains and after about 45 minutes we arrived at a small local style hot spring where we were going to have lunch. They did all the ordering and we were soon faced with what was one of the best Taiwanese food meals I had the entire trip to Taiwan. All the food was home style cooked, and tasted very country style, and everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the deer on the hot plate and the roast quail.
On Day 7 in Taiwan, we planned to just take a day trip to Beitou hot springs, but completely unplanned, it turned into one of the best days of our trip and one of the best meals as well.
Big thank you to Joe, Raymond, and his Father for inviting us!

Raohe Night Market in Taipei: MUST-EAT Taiwan Street Food - Pepper Pork Buns & Bone Soup!
Raohe Night Market is one of the best Taiwanese street food night markets in Taipei:
One of the best things to do when you visit Taipei is go around at night and visit the many night markets the city has to offer. While the biggest and grandest night market in Taipei is the famous Shilin Night Market, there are many others. One of the others that I really liked was Raohe Night Market, located on Raohe Street. The market was smaller and friendlier, and along the street they packed in some seriously delicious food. One evening during our visit to Taipei, we headed over to the market in the evening to explore, wander around, and eat some of the must eat things to try at the market. Here are the main things we tried.
Fuzhou Pepper Buns (pork pepper buns)
Without doubt, Fuzhou Pepper Buns (pork pepper buns) is the most famous street food to eat at the Raohe Night Markets - and it’s crazy busy at all times that it’s open. Located right at the entrance of the market, you won’t have any trouble finding it. They are so popular, they even have a line marked out so it may feel like you’re actually standing in line at immigration instead of waiting for food. I ordered the classic pepper pork bun, a circle of dough filled with a pepper marinated mixture of pork, filled with green onions, wrapped into a bun, and then cooked in a tandoor oven. The result was an incredibly delicious bun, topped with loads of sesame seeds. The pork inside was meaty and had a nice salty and slightly sweet flavor, with a good freshness from the green onions. But definitely the bread was the highlight with its crispy and gooey texture all in one. Although the Fuzhou Pepper Buns stall has a long line at all times, it really is worth the wait. It’s most definitely one of the must eat things at Raohe Street Night Market in Taipei.
Grilled Squid
Another one of my favorite Taiwanese street food snacks at night markets is grilled squid, which is typically available from multiple stands throughout any night market. Spotting a squid vendor, we moved in to order some. The squid was first boiled, then grilled, basted in some kind of dark looking teriyaki sauce, and then cut up into slices for eating. It was then topped in some pepper and chili powder. Squid is just an excellent street food night market snack. The squid was fresh and the texture was excellent.
Fried dumplings
Continuing on our tour of must eat food at Raohe Night Market, we continued with a cup of fried dumpling, which were freshly cooked, and golden brown on one side, and then gooey on the top and the middle and filled with a mixture of minced meat and green onions on the inside. The dumplings were then topped with sauce and chilies and served with a skewer for eating. Again, just like many of the dumplings in Taiwan, they were delicious.
Pork bone herbal soup
Another one of the most famous things to eat at Raohe Night Market is the herbal pork bone soup, and there area number of restaurants that sell the same thing, and all of them are extremely busy. We chose one, got a seat, and our bowls of pork bone soup came almost immediately and they were piping hot. There wasn’t a lot of meat on the bones, but the pork did taste pretty good, and especially when it was dipped in the sauce. The soup was also flavorful, mild in flavor, but with a good Chinese medicinal flavor to it.
After finishing the pork bone soup, I was feeling pretty happy and satisfied, and so we decided to call it a night at Raohe Night Market and head back to our hotel. I really enjoyed the mix of food and the overall friendly environment at Raohe Night Market, and I think it’s a great place to spend some time exploring when you’re in Taipei.
