Crowded Night Market
Hi,
Planning to visit Kaoshiung, Tainan & Taichung with family members this December (about 10 days). Since we're on a budget, like to know if it's easy and cheap to travel on our own. What are the places we should not missed? We love nature...so scenery instead of shopping. What about the climate in december? Greatly appreciate your reply. Thanks to all!
i think there is not budget problem cause the south place always very cheaper than Taipei , if you like nature place u should visit KenDing under pingtung country.and visit night market in Tainan.by taking MRT in Kaoshiung to visit some famous places .
I visited those areas by myself nearly 40 yrs ago and it was fairly easy--because even when I got off track, people very kindly assisted me, and they knew no English and I knew no Chinese!! Probably now that there are more 'foreigners/tourists' coming thru, it has even gotten easier!
(Specifically, on a local bus I went beyond the stopping place I wanted and when I finally got off and showed someone the name of where I wanted, they took me over to the correct bus stop to go back and WAITED with me, then told the Bus Driver what I had done [and all the passengers laughed out loud at me!], but they insisted I NOT pay any more,and the Driver then instructed me where to disembark! Everyone was always so courteous and polite, even though it was very strange to them to see a young girl travelling alone.)
Within each city, travel is not a problem and is inexpensive. Will you be arriving and departing from Kaohsiung?? Or Taipei??

hi,
is it possible to share your itinerary with me? thanks in advance!
Many Taiwanese love betel nut chewing. They are not difficult to find in Taiwan. I've never tried it myself but ppl say that it's bitter but stimulating. You chew it and spit out red juices, and your mouth will be red as well.
The social problem associated with this habit is the "betel nut beauties", girls in sexy clothing selling the betel nuts.
Take the train from Taipei Main to Ruei-Fang station. And either catch the bus up to the mountain or take a taxi ( $150). We took the taxi coz it was just faster and more comfortable.
The night view is what this place is famous for but we didn't hang around so long. We went up to the mountain at around 11:00am and left the place at around 3:00 pm. Lucky us, cos that way we didn't hit the traffic.
Nearly every night, Taipei pulses until midnight with bright lights, tasty snacks, and crowds of people buying or browsing through night markets. The markets offer fun, bargains, and generally sell a variety of traditional products, casual clothes, fruit, and snacks. Most vendors speak only Chinese, so pen and paper are needed for bargaining. Night markets frequented by students generally have the best bargains on food, and clothes. These include Shihlin (north of the Grand Hotel) and Kungkuan (near National Taiwan University). Other major night markets are Huahsi Street (picture), and Tunghua Street near the World Trade Center.
Dim Tai Fung is world famous. They now have branches in Japan, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Los Angeles, and Taipei. This is the place to go for Shanghai soup dumplings. The skin is so thin and the soup...yummy... Soup dumpling with crab powder, hot and sour soup, the pork chop....and on and on...all good!!!
