Ubiquitous Night markets
by deeper_blue
A signature of Taiwan has to be the night markets, often bustling and full of colour noise and smells. They can often be cramped, dirty or chaotic but always interesting and have plenty of hot food and cheap goods on sale. There are usually some slot machines and games for children.

The best place for the weekend
by deeper_blue about Ximen district
Ximen has a huge number of clothing stores, eating opportunities and some mini gaming arcades to enjoy and browse through. It's usually very crowded with student types, but after 9-10pm it is very quiet, if you want to drink here you should go to the red house.
MTR System
by Kurtdhis
In quite a short time, Taipei, the capital city of Taiwan, is developping a network of 4 conventional mainly underground metro lines and 1 automated elevated light rail metro line to relieve the city from traffic congestion. Although previously shown as separate lines, the red, green and orange lines are now operated jointly. Green labelled trains from Tamshui run through to Hsintien, and orange labelled trains from Peitou run trough to Nanshih Chiao. The section between Peitou and Hsin Peitou is now operated as a branch by single EMU's from 7:00 to 21:00 because of noise problems. In the early mornings and in the evenings service is provided by a free shuttle bus. In 2000, different routes were also assigned numbers to improve orientation.
Tamshui Line - 23 km - 20 stations, partly underground, following former railway route (now northern branch of Line 1 and Line 2)
Hsintien Line - 10.5 km - 11 stations, underground, along Roosevelt and Peishin Roads (now Line 1 south).
Hsimen - C.K.S. Memorial Hall opened 31 Aug. 2000 (Line 6 now operating as a shuttle with one intermediate station, Hsiao Nanmen).
Chungho Line - 5.5 km - 4 stations, all underground, along Chungho and Yungho road, under the Hsintien River (now Line 2 south).
Blue Line (Pannan Line or Nankang-Panchiao-Tucheng Line) - 28 km- 24 stations, underground, along Chunghua and Chunghsiao Roads, Hoping West Rd. and Wenhua Rd., cross the river Hsintien in a tunnel (now Line 3).
