Things to do in Taiwan

For relevant information about Taiwan, the editor will tell you that there are many things to try in Taiwan. Now the editor will tell you some relevant information about Taiwan, you can learn about it. Now let's go and see.

Eating Beef Noodles in Taipei

We couldn’t finish all the delicacies in Taipei for three days and three nights, and we only tasted a little~ But beef noodles! Beef noodles! When you arrive in Taipei, you can’t avoid eating beef noodles~Beef noodles represent the essence of Taipei’s food~

Experience: There are too many famous noodle restaurants, such as Yongkang Street, Lin Dongfang, Niu Dian, etc. But let me tell you, in fact, the small shops on the street corners and downstairs that are frequented by neighbors and motorcyclists are amazing enough, and even more memorable than some famous noodle shops~~

We went downstairs The next airbnb host recommended "Fu Hong Beef Noodles".

That was the best beef noodle we have ever eaten in Taipei~ The noodles are absolutely watered by hand, eliminating the need for machine pressing and hot sauce.

Garlic! Ah~~~~I didn’t expect to be able to eat garlic in Taipei!

Go to Eslite Bookstore to buy books and cultural and creative products

Eslite, out of ten places to visit in Taiwan, I have to mention them; but believe me, you won’t want to miss this place. . Thick wooden floors, a quiet atmosphere, the fragrance of coffee permeates the air, and the fragrance of books and ink lingers around; there are all kinds of books, from literary classics, comic magazines to political guides. You know, it is really difficult not to read two books. gas!

Experience: The prices of cultural and creative products here are on the high side, but there are many high-quality products. I suggest you visit them~

Go to Ximending and visit the “World of Rainbow Flags”

“Rainbow Flag” is the name I came up with myself. Everyone knows that Ximending is a fashionable district in Taipei, but the area around the Red House in Ximending is also a famous gay gathering place in Taipei. Various bars and shops will give you a full "rainbow" atmosphere~

I ventured into a "gay grocery store" with a dazzling array of products. I couldn't take my eyes away and was dragged out of the store by my friends. cough. Not recommended for those under 18 years old~

Go to Tainan to drink beef soup and ride a motorcycle

Tainan is definitely my favorite city in Taiwan, no one. Quiet, quiet, quiet; clean, clean, clean; but most importantly! The food here is so good~delicious~spicy~~~~~

There is a stall downstairs where I live, and the breakfast makes me cry! Fried dough sticks, dried tofu, mandarin fish porridge, oh~~boss, have another bowl~!

I specially went to drink beef soup and sesame oil pork liver soup. I originally wanted to kneel down on the spot~~~

The fresh-cut fruits, sliced ??tomatoes, cantaloupe, and Sakyamuni Buddha on the roadside stalls. After eating, I felt that my internal organs had been purified. . There are trees and there are trees~~

What’s more, the streets of Tainan are full of nostalgia. Rent a scooter (well, it's actually a battery scooter, you also need a driver's license to rent a scooter~), drive with the locals on the streets surrounded by ancient buildings, wait at the red light intersection, and smile at each other~

These two are not our cars. If you don’t have a motorcycle license approved by Taiwan, you can only rent electric bikes~these two are motorcycles ridden by locals.

Go to watch the moon on the top of Qingjing Farm

I remember the night we arrived at Qingjing Farm, we finished cooking, returned to where we lived, held our bellies in our hands, and sat in the BB yard On the swing, I watched the clouds in the sky cover the moon and slowly disperse. The outline of the mountain is vaguely visible, and the sky is close at hand and within reach, shrouded in clouds and mist.

That scene brought a long-lost peace and contentment to my heart~

I really want to live there like this~

Eat

( The following are listed in no particular order)

Beef Noodles

Night Market

Seafood

Street Queue Food

Thai Bento

Market Food

The above six major food-related categories are the six things I eat every time I go to Taiwan after I have been to Taiwan six times.

Needless to say, people in Taiwan can be said to have implemented the beef noodle culture into their bones, so that you can always see beef noodle shops or beef noodle stalls of various tastes and grades in the streets and alleys. Although the quality varies, so do the prices.

But my experience is that as long as you are not too careless, the beef noodles you make can at least be imported. Therefore, a bowl of beef noodles is a must-have when going to Taiwan. It’s just a question of whether the taste suits you (of course, if you don’t eat beef noodles, that’s another matter). The beef noodles at the Sanxitang restaurant on the top floor of the famous National Palace Museum are at least in line with public tastes. They are not as expensive as the dishes at domestic tourist attractions.

The scallion pancakes outside the Raohe Night Market were made by me in northern Taiwan. The best food I've had in the area.

This is just a scene of not many people in Miaokou Night Market.

There are night markets all over the world, but the night markets in Taiwan are still worth a try, but I suggest you try not to go to Shilin night market. Also, you can try other night markets. Personally, I prefer the Raohe, Ningxia, and South Airport night markets in Taipei, the Yizhong Night Market in Taichung, the Huayuan and Dadong Night Markets in Tainan, the Miaokou Night Market in Keelung, the Luodong Night Market in Luodong, and the Dongmen Night Market in Yilan.

Seafood, the geographical environment similar to Japan has created seafood in Taiwan. It is really worth trying, especially the thick slices of sashimi. Another place to eat seafood is near the fishing port, it is fresh and relatively cheap.

The most popular delicacies in Sanxia are golden croissants and ice, especially when the weather is hot. Buy some bread and eat it cold. So delicious!

You will only encounter street food with queues when you do your homework in advance or wandering on the street, but remember that it is No. 1 in the Food Code of Taiwan, and it must be delicious when there are many people queuing up. From my experience, most of the food stores with this kind of queue are either too big or just small stalls, but after eating, you will have endless aftertaste.

Taiwan - NT$80 iron lunch box, extra large fried pork ribs.

Taiwan’s iron lunch box is cheap and affordable. Is this reason enough? Especially in Taiwan, if you need to take a train from here to there, one train is enough.

You can only choose the takeaway from the queue at Longzhongchuan Market.

Market food, this category is similar to queue food, except that most of this food is hidden in the market (usually on the second floor of the market) and needs to be discovered by yourself (because even if you queue up You can't see the outside either), such as Taipei Dongmen Market, Keelung Zhongchuan Market, etc. The food here belongs to the local taste of Taiwan and is not optimized for tourists' taste like the food in those big stores, so if you

experience the local area

stay in a homestay

It can be said that BB is another business card of Taiwan. Compared with regular standardized hotels, BB is full of human touch and feels different, blabla. In short, there are many. Feel it for yourself. Highly recommend staying at BB, especially if you plan to go outside Taipei and Kaohsiung. In some cases, BB may be the only option.

Experience the train culture in Taiwan and take a train.

This is my personal hobby. I am a pseudo-train fan, so when I went to Taiwan for the second time, I took the opportunity to experience all the train models in Taiwan and collected all the tickets for each train.

The representative of railway literature and art is Yilan Station and a few meters square next to it.

Experience the train branch lines in Taiwan. Although it may be crowded, each railway has its own unique culture.

This old Tamsui Agai shop on the uphill road would have been our first time chatting with a local aunt in Tamsui Little White House. Who would have thought that this alley would hide a local delicacy? This is far from the old street.

This old lady selling grass seed cakes comes from Yilan every day to sell her handmade grass seed cakes. After we bought it, we chatted with the staff of several nearby Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Halls. They said grandma doesn't come often.

Deep into the lives of locals: The queues and market dishes in the front dining area can actually be regarded as part of locals’ lives.

In addition, I suggest that you try your best to talk to local people in any situation where you can meet local people, such as shopping, checking out, or resting on a bench in a street park. Seize the time and opportunity, and you may gain more. .

Paragliding: The terrain of Taiwan determines that this is a very good paragliding experience. I personally recommend that as long as the weather is suitable and the itinerary permits, adding paragliding to your list in Taiwan is a very good experience.

Hot springs: There are many types of hot springs in Taiwan, so hot springs in Taiwan really need to be highlighted on the list. I think I should experience the sulfur springs around Taipei, the sodium bicarbonate springs in Jiaoxi, Yilan, the mud springs in Guanziling, and the seawater hot springs in Green Island.

Cold Spring: The most famous cold spring is in Suao, which is a good experience.

Visit temples: The temples or religious culture in Taiwan create a scene where various religions exist and are harmonious. Apart from the architecture, the culture behind these temples is also worth seeing. What's more, some temples are more efficacious, such as for marriage. So if you have related needs, you might as well give it a try.

There are so many medals in a shop at Jingtong Station.

Commemorative medals: The commemorative medal culture in Taiwan is also a highlight. Basically it can be divided into two categories, one is provided by public attractions, and the other is provided by some stores themselves. In comparison, I prefer the second type, which has more types and styles and is updated quickly. Unlike public tourist attractions that do not change their seals for decades (seems to be an exaggeration), in some places you need to ask the merchants before they will come up with the prepared seals.

Snorkeling: You must go snorkeling when going to Green Island and Blue Rain Island. This is not just about cultivating Ding Qiang

Wandering aimlessly

The greatest joy of traveling is actually not walking step by step, but going around in circles and encountering surprises at any time. At present, this list has been implemented very well, including: Taipei, Keelung, Toucheng, Suao, Nannanao, Luodong, Jiaoxi, Luye, Lanyu, etc. For example, Keelung's delicious pork ribs rice in Zhonghai Market is just a matter of wandering around aimlessly, along

the streets marked with the hospital outpatient center. What do you think will be inside?

Can you have a delicious meal on this street with this money?

Full weight dolphin bone soup ramen, real ingredients.

It is also a real seafood soup.

The above two bowls are NT$115, what more do you want.

So if your itinerary has not been decided yet, then I suggest you take half a day to visit the current In cities, avoid famous tourist attractions with large crowds and go to some residential areas or any place far away from tourist attractions. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
