    Pet Store and aquarium
  • Tip Rating:
  • Great service and plenty of nice aquariums. We've just got us a nice aquarium yesterday. It's a salt-water tank. Very nice one. They set everything up for us without charging us.

    If you r not interested in buying any, it's fun to visit this little shop too. It's got a very unique architecture. Just look at the picture. Doesn't it make you feel like you r in the boat?!

    Great shopping mall. It's one of the most popular tourist spot. You can find almost everything and also from low price shops to high standard shops, they are all in the same mall. They also have a nice bookstore there. Most people loves shopping for books there. Among the foreigners, they have a great opinion on it.
    It's near another shopping centre, and within 5 mins walk, you can go see a movie if you want.

    Real Taipei Passion
  • Tip Rating:
  • This district has been a good shopping place since my mother 's generation. This first department store was estabilshed in the area.
    Here, you can buy many things from T-shirt to CD player. Many high school students come here for shopping from Monday to Sunday. If you are not satisfied with the price, you can simply bargain and get a competitive price. Also, there are many nice restaurants in this area from Korean to Friday's.
    Sometimes, if you are lucky enough, you can see some street performance.

    Japanese stuff and also some fashinable high schhol students' things.

    Taipei 101: Shop at the world tallest building
  • Tip Rating:
  • This shopping mall is located at the central of the Taipei city. Looking for some braded stuff? This is the right place to chose.

    I found that this is more suitable for lady windows shopping.

    This is not so expensive if your budget is to get some branded clothes. Perhaps, there are few items is really expensive compare with normal market value.

    Shilin Night Market
  • Tip Rating:
  • Shi Lin is best known for hosting Taipei's largest night market, the Shihlin Night Market. Once the sun goes down, residents and tourists throng to the area squeezing amongst street vendors and food stalls.

    The night market are divided into 2 sections. The area close to Temple is filled mainly with stalls for snack food, and the area around the movie theater has many small shops where you can buy all kinds of cheap products.

    Specialties of the Shihlin Night Market pancake ( red bean wrapped into a pancake), smelly tau Foo, teppanyaki, oyster omelettes and much more.

    Sport shoes and T-shirts would be the ideal iteams get from Shilin.

    OF COS, do not forget the Junk Foods!
