26 reasons to love Taipei

The most laid-back capital of Asia!

1. In 24-hour shops, such as "Femely Mart", "Seven Eleven", you can find everything.

Taipei is a city with one of the highest concentrations of around the clock stores per capita in the world. Where else can you pay for training, food, print tickets for the concert and send express mail at 4:30 in the morning?

2. This is how the streets of the city look before each election:

The threat of democracy and advertising.

3. In Taipei are the most unusual cafes.

Residents of the city are concerned that the modern children of Taipei do not dream of conquering the world - they just want to open a cafe with their friends. Coffee bars are also considered to be bars in Taipei.

4. Islayt Dunnan is the only 24-hour bookshop in the world.

Watching people at the Islayn Dunnan bookstore on Saturday night is a good way to sober up. He was recognized as the best bookshop in Asia in 2004.

5. Round the clock karaoke 7 days a week - also a sport.

12-story building for karaoke? Yes, this is reality. The club "Cashbox Pakvorld" leads a lively business on non-business days.

6. Shrimp fishing is also available around the clock and daily.

Perhaps the strangest gastronomic sport ever existed. It's time to wear jeans shorts and stock up on 6 bottles of delicious Taiwanese beer.

7. You will never know and 50% of the products that are sold in the local market.

8. Beef soup with noodles is a separate conversation in Taipei.

Every year, Taipei hosts a festival of beef noodle soup. So if you do not like beef soup with noodles, we do not have anything to talk to you about.

9. Yonghe has the best breakfast.

Sweet soy milk and fried Chinese donuts - what could be better?

10. There's an excellent bar called "That Fucking Place".

"And you zachechinilis in" This Devil's Place "on the map in VC?"

11. In Taipei, there is a restaurant with a toilet theme.

Please invite your friends to try, excuse me for expression, feces. "Modern Toilet", the so-called institution itself, offers in its menu tempting dishes, such as "children's diarrhea" (in fact, just green curry), and the dishes are served in mini toilets.

12. You can also visit restaurants with a prison theme, Barbie dolls, a hospital.

Treat Taipei as a not-so-ordinary city.

13. Yongkang Street is a great place to enjoy Asian retro chic.

Antique shops. And also "Jimes Kitchen", perhaps, is the best Taiwanese restaurant in the city.

14. Gong Xiao (Zhongxiao) contains all the modern art that you need.

15. Taipei is a Chinese pop / indie music capital.

From C-pop (Chinese pop music) megastars to symphonic metal performers, hip-hop, post-rock, Taipei exports the best Mandopop music (Chinese popular music) in the world. You can also listen to bands like Neutral Milk Hotel on surprisingly small venues (The Wall and Legacy).

16. There are always festivals of design and music.

17. Club scenes are also in no way inferior to festivals.

Each year, there are all new nightlife, but Luxy is the most legendary place.

18. In Taipei, the whole street is dedicated to wedding photographers

Never see anything like this in any city! Taipei is a city with a fad.

19. The Yangmingshan National Park can be reached by bus.

Sometimes, you can afford to set aside a day and go camping in the park.

20. Ximending is cosplayers and big fans of their business.

Put on your gothic costume!

21. If you make students angry, you will hear them.

Imperfect democracy is still a democracy.

22. Guanghua is for the most part the flea market of Tatooine in search of electronics.

23. Night shops. Everywhere.

Imagine hundreds of street food carts and shops huddled in 10 city blocks. It's sad, but the government is closing them.

24. Beite has beautiful hot thermal springs.

The northern suburbs help us to preserve our youth.

25. Are you tired of the rainy north? You can get to Kenting beach in four hours ...

... on a high-speed train with animated themes

26. FOOD

Food is fine. Everyone who cares is leading their food blog in Taipei. "Guide the hungry girl in Taipei" - a great start. Even Anthony Burden (the American chef) agrees with this.
