🗓️I'll share my travel itinerary!⤵️
🏠Accommodation I stayed at
-Hotel Papa Whale
95,000 won per person for 3 nights
➡️A cost-effective hotel in Ximending
There were convenience stores, cafes, and restaurants nearby
✅Day 1
-I couldn't do anything because it was a night flight😂
Instead, the airfare was cheap
00:00 Check in to accommodation
Come out and raid the convenience store!
🏪Taiwanese convenience store snack recommendation
-Cup ramen: 'Manhan Daechan' is a must!
➡️Try the orange one! It's the most famous. I ate the purple one,
and even though I eat pretty much everything, the smell was too strong...(Sabasa)
-Milk tea, papaya milk, and other milk-based drinks
-Taiwanese beer (green)
✅Day2
▫️09:00 Simple appetizer(?)
-85 degrees salt coffee
(Must try this...my favorite in Taiwan. I don't know why this isn't available in Korea)
-7-Eleven Hong Luizen
▫️10:30 Din Tai Fung (a famous xiao long bao restaurant)
-It opens at 11 but you have to wait! I recommend going early
(It seems to be more popular these days...)
-I ate xiao long bao and fried ribs and egg fried rice!
▫️13:00~20:30 Yesji Bus Tour🚌
Yesji Tour (Yeliu Geopark, Shifen Waterfall, Jiufen)
➡️Yesjinji, Yesbokji, Yesheji are available
There are many reviews that Yesji is enough!
Since independent travel is really hard,
I definitely recommend applying for this tour
*Yesji Bus Tour price is around 10,000 won
✔️The place I booked provided Fengli Su and bubble tea!
✔️Yeliu-The sandstorm can be severe, and the sand sticks to your body because it's humid ㅠ There was a place selling mango shaved ice
✔️Shifen Waterfall-Must fly a sky lantern and eat fried chicken wings!!!
✔️Jiufen-There are so many people that it's called hell fun...I was dying because it rained ㅠ
▫️21:00 Ningxia Night Market or Shilin Night Market
I went to Ningxia Night Market, which is close to my accommodation.
Shilin Night Market is about 50 minutes by subway from Ximending.
The difference between the two is that Ningxia only has food,
and Shilin has food, miscellaneous goods, accessories, and even souvenirs! If you want to shop, Shilin!
But you can also shop at Carrefour
✔️Recommended food
Cube steak, Prince Cheese Potato, Jipai,
Fried Stir-fried Tofu, Yibao (Taiwanese Hamburger), Chive Bread, etc.
▫️22:00 Coco Bubble Tea
Bubble tea that was more delicious than Tiger Sugar!
▫️22:30 Carrefour
A shopping complex that operates until midnight
A shopping complex with pharmacies, home appliances, detergents, and other daily necessities
and snacks, ramen, fruits, and even restaurants! Instead of going to Ningxia Night Market, I did my shopping here~
✅Day3
▫️08:00 Wake up
▫️10:30 Salted coffee at 85 degrees (drank it againㅋ)
▫️11:00 Sammi Restaurant
- There's a wait, so I recommend going early
- King salmon sushi is a must!, chicken skewers, scallop skewers were crazy, and raw squid sushi was also delicious...💞
▫️12:00 Tiger Sugar
Taiwan's famous bubble tea (now available in Korea)
▫️13:30 Hongmaoqing & Jinli University
✔️Ximending➡️Danshui Station (about 1 hour by MRT)
▫️17:00 Yongkang Street
✔️Danshui➡️Dongmen Station (about 1 hour and 30 minutes by MRT)
Mango shaved ice at Swoosh Bingsu Eat (Famous)
Go anywhere and eat Uyukmyeon
From Yongkang Street to Ximending (30 minutes)
I was tired so I went shopping and went to my accommodation...!
I originally planned to go to 'Yongsan Temple', so take note!🙆♀️
✅Day4
I had an afternoon flight, so I ate breakfast and went to the airport!
▫️11:00 Tim Ho Wan (near Taipei Main Station)
It's really delicious, but it's in Seoul
▫️13:00 Arrived at the airport and had Starbucks~!☕
*There may be some differences because it was a trip I took in 2019
