    If you are looking for a bookstore which has more collection of the English books in the market. Then you probably have to stop by Pageone. Most foreigners go there to shop for books. They sometimes have sales on the popular books too.

    English books.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • The underground of Taipei Station, there is a shopping mall with variety of goods. It is rather cheaper than XiMenTing but yet it is the lastest fashion.

    There are many different shops from clothing, music, books, food and even the MRT souvenir.
