TAIPEI, TAIWAN
Taipei City, Taiwan. A place I will never forget. Because this is the first time I travelled using my own money. And who would have thought that Taipei offers great food, great destination at such an affordable price. Plus, this city is not expensive at all.
This country is also perfect for those who are travelling out of the country for the first time. Some locals are easy to talk to and some will even help you if you need directions. Just don't be afraid to ask! (Some may communicate with a high tone, but that's totally normal)
"I think I left my heart in Taipei"
The life of this city starts at night. As a lot of people starts roaming around at 6pm, which gave us the idea that this is the perfect time to go out and check all of the good place (and street foods).
View from our AirBnb
If you want to visit Taipei, you can check out our AirBnb located near Tonghua Nigh Market. This is a perfect accommodation because it is just a few walks away from the Bus stop and Xinye Anhe MRT Station. And what's great about this is that it's just 15-20 minutes walk from Taipei 101, where a lot of stores are mostly located.
MRT
I love how clean their MRT station is, and their train pass is like a coin! Just select your destination in one of their machines, pay using cash or card and there you have it!
If you just wanted to roam around the city. You can rent a bike for as low as 10 NTD/30 mins. Just scan your card, get the bike, and return it in any UBike Parking as long as there are available parking space. I've also observed that a lot of taiwanese and even tourists use bike for transportation as it is cheap and it is the easiest form of transportation available.
'Not the actual UBike Picture'
Places we visited
We roamed around Shin ye Road, where a lot of fast food and stores are located.
On our second day, we visited Elephant Mountain which is also one of their tourist attractions.
For our third and last day, we booked a double decker bus tour from Klook. Here's the link: Taipei Double Decker Bus Tour
You can hop on and hop off your preferred destination, unlimited for 4 hours. We used this to visit Chiang Kai-Shek and Taipei 101. They also have a 24 hour unlimited hop on and hop off pass.
More of me!!!
And last but definitely not the least. The famous TAIPEI 101. Of course, we booked it ahead of time via Klook.
So for those who loves to see a 360 view of Taipei. You might consider visiting Taipei 101.
And that concludes our Taipei Trip. I hope that you'll visit this wonderful place real soon, as Taiwan have extended their Visa Free Privileges for Filipino Citizens till July 2020.
