#asiabudgetchallenge We had a fun day at Taipei Zoo despite the rainy weather during our visit. Getting there is easy—just take the Taipei Metro (MRT) to Taipei Zoo Station on the Wenhu Line (Brown Line). From the station, it’s only a short walk to the zoo entrance. The zoo is open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and tickets can be purchased on-site or online. Since the zoo covers a large area with numerous themed exhibits, it’s best to arrive early to make the most of your visit. A must-see highlight is the Giant Panda House, home to the zoo’s beloved stars Yuan Zai and Tuan Tuan—definitely not to be missed! 💲 Rough Budget: Around NT$60 (~US$2) per adult 🌟 My #1 Travel Tip: Wear comfy shoes and bring an umbrella or raincoat, as you’ll be walking a lot and much of the zoo is outdoors—even in light rain, the animals and scenery are still worth it! 📌 Taipei Zoo 臺北市立動物園 📍 No. 30號, Section 2, Xinguang Rd, Wenshan District, Taipei City, Taiwan 116

#July2025 Dream Plaza, built by Uni-President Group, has grandly opened, featuring Asia's dream-class Starbucks and Taiwan's first brick-and-mortar Books.com.tw. It's been a few days since its opening, and the crowds are still strong. Starbucks requires a number for entry, while Books.com.tw. You can take an escalator and ascend slowly. Although it was a bit crowded, it was still possible to enter. I really appreciate seeing a physical bookstore. It's crowded, yet quiet, and the atmosphere is wonderful. It's a fun place to shop for home furnishings. The pop-up display of adorable Nitori dolls attracted many adults and children!

Capella should be the hotel that Taipei tourists and gourmets will be excited to explore in 2025. I chose the recent popular birthday date restaurant Flame 28, which features 28-day dry-aged top-grade steaks and fresh delicacies from the ocean. It is specially designed for you who have unique tastes. The incense of flames and embers, the high ceiling and the low-key luxury atmosphere are very popular. 😘 🥩The table distance is wide and the space is high. It is very relaxing as soon as you walk in. The low-key and soft lighting + a few crystal chandeliers above add a sense of ritual to the meal. 💕The summer menu we had this time, with tea-scented Alishan Oolong Tea Bread, paired with nut white cheese cream, and appetizer fruit corn tower, is just the right start ≡Menu≡ •French Cuvee Oysters |Shenshan Aiyu, thumb lemon, seaweed oil •Hand-cut beef tartare|Aiwen mango, charcoal fried dough sticks, tomato vinaigrette •Charcoal grilled small roll soup|Small roll noodles, white tofu, XO sauce •Smoked pig ears|Handmade noodles, kale, pickled cabbage sauce 🥩The main courses include "wood-grilled American black wagyu fillet", "dry-aged American New Yorker", "dry-aged Yunlin fine pork tenderloin", "seasonal fresh fish", and I undoubtedly chose the marbled New Yorker, ft. ox tongue, white jade bitter melon, and um malan sauce, which is excellent😋 💯 It is a restaurant that gourmets who are straight to the heart will like. The open kitchen has always been my favorite design. I love the rich small roll soup with smooth white tofu. At the end, the thoughtful and special birthday cake🎂, a wonderful time, I recommend it and want to come again🥰 📍 1F, No. 139, Dunhua North Road, Songshan District, Taipei City #finedining #steak restaurant #date restaurant #birthday restaurant

#100usdchallenge I found Taiwan super safe for woman travel, especially I did solo trip here across the western coast. My itinerary starts from Taipei, I asked a local for a free lift who i met at the MRT when looking for ways and they were super nice, i shared about my journey and they offered to have me with them un their car when they visited their children in Kaohsiung. In taiwan, im just free-styling go here and there, . Biking is cheap and flexible, i recommend everyone to consider this means of travel when in Taiwan. I travel around each city on a bike. To reach different city i found local bus is cheaper than train. Total of my travel was 5 days and the budget i paid was 80$ in total

#TravelTalk 🏕Nishi Honganji Square in Taipei is a place full of history and Japanese charm. Located in the bustling Ximending district, it offers surprisingly peacefulness. It used to be the home of the largest Shin temple in Taiwan during the Japanese occupation. Although most of the temple was destroyed by fire, some beautifully restored parts remain, such as the bell tower, which stands prominently on a high hill, and the Rinbansho building, which used to be the residence of the head priest, which is now renovated into a teahouse or art gallery, allowing visitors to experience the atmosphere of ancient Japanese culture in the heart of Taipei. ⛺️This square is therefore a great place to relax, take photos, and learn about history, whether you are a fan of old architecture or someone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the shopping district to find some peace. Conveniently located near Ximen MRT Station, Nishi Honganji Square is another interesting destination for tourists who want to experience another side of Taipei with both historical beauty and a relaxing atmosphere. 📍No. 174號, Section 1, Zhonghua Rd, Wanhua District, 📍Taipei City, Taiwan 108 ⏰24 hours #IndyTrip #thailand #travel #onedaytrip #missnature #centralteam #waitingforthedaytodepart #familytrip #goodatmosphere #placestovisit #thaitravelthailand #travelthailand #travelontheway #cafereview #beautifulcafetotell #cafelife #mustvisitcafe #cafetakepictures #Tripgiveawayfreeaccommodation #Tripgiveawaydiscount #getdiscountwithoutluck

I love to shop for old objects and small ornaments. I used to go to Chifeng Street to hunt for treasures. But this time when I came to Dihua Street, I was completely amazed by the Modern Mode Cafe opened by artist Zhong Yao. The space is low-key and hidden in the alley, but when you walk in, it feels like walking into a small selection store on the streets of Paris. Several retro European sofas, wooden dining tables, and industrial iron chairs are placed just right, warm and unique. This is not just a cafe, but also a selection store. All furniture is old pieces collected by the boss himself from all over the world. The front half of the space is converted into an ornament display area with old tables. It is full of antique necklaces, earrings, ornaments and European-style utensils. You can buy them and take them home. You can own what you like. It is not just a look but a part of life. I highly recommend it to people who like retro style, treasure hunting, and the old soul. This place has more European warmth and selection aesthetics than Chifeng Street. You will really fall in love with it after a visit. 🔌 Useful information Store name｜Modern Mode Cafe Address｜No. 197, Section 1, Dihua Street, Datong District, Taipei City Time｜11:00 to 19:00 daily #Selected store #Must-visit Dihua Street #Retro Taipei attractions #Artists' cafes #Chifeng Street extension #Taipei cafe recommendations #Selected items paradise #Retro accessories #Old items collection #Dadaocheng private attractions #Lifestyle selection #Café control #July good places 2025

The first time I knew this restaurant was from stocks. It is famous for its cost-effectiveness and more items. Now in Japan, the average price of 390 yen is still very high, and the price in Taipei is 100 Taiwan dollars. It can be dazzling without looking at it~ Especially near Taipei 101 Center💕 🍢The items are a little less than those in Japan. As soon as you walk in, it is full of young people. Indeed, what everyone wants is a place to eat and chat and gather in a relaxed manner. There are several wine items that can be bought one get one free. If $100 is used, there will be two large chicken leg skewers, which are wide and thick, and a large bowl of chicken white soup and meat porridge is full of ingredients. I think it can be given 10 likes👍👍👍 🍢Don’t mess around with food lovers. I still think this is a very relaxed place to eat and gather. The consumption is downgraded, but the environment is clean and comfortable, and the location is convenient. There is nothing to pick🥰 📍Att4fun Third Floor (formerly Kanpai Yakiniku) #Izakaya #Cost-effective #After-get off work food #AfterworkDrink #A good place to relax after get off work

If you're traveling from Taipei to Jiufen by public transportation, there are two options. You can either take a bus directly to Jiufen, or Take the train to Ruifang Station and transfer to a bus to Jiufen. (Note: The bus stop is not near Taipei Station.) This article explains how to board the bus from Ruifang Station and the train timetable for the return trip to Taipei Station. *Please see the separate post for how to get from Taipei Station to Ruifang Station. Please see the post [From Taiwan Station to Shifen] m(_ _)m ◉ There's no bus timetable listed, but I didn't include it because bus timetables are practically nonexistent. The electronic signboards show real-time arrival times for each bus at the bus stop, so please refer to that. When I took a bus from Taipei to Jiufen, Jiufen is a mountain road, and the bus drivers are not as friendly as in Japan, so I felt unwell. Once sightseeing is no longer an option, I've decided to go to Jiufen by train and bus. 😅 Even if you wait for a bus on the way back and then take one heading towards Taipei, traffic around Taipei gets congested in the evenings. Taking the bus to Ruifang Station and then taking the train is less stressful, so I personally recommend it. However, it's still crowded, and if your train schedule doesn't work out when you arrive at Ruifang Station, you'll have to wait there too, so I recommend allowing yourself plenty of time and mental space. All things considered, it's best to allow yourself at least three hours. If you're waiting a little too long for the next train at Ruifang Station, I recommend waiting for it and enjoying some delicious Taiwanese food at Ruifang Food Street, which is open until 9 PM, before heading home. (I've written about Ruifang Food Street in another post, "Going to Jiufen? Check It Out!" m(_ _)m Even if you want to avoid the crowds, I personally think it's a waste to head home without waiting for sunset in Jiufen. I hope you enjoy a relaxing cup of tea in Jiufen, wait for the sun to set, and enjoy the lantern-lit scenery before heading home in a good mood. Because it's so beautiful! 🥹✨ I hope this helps you have a happy trip. #TaiwanTrip #Taipei #Jiufen #SelfTravel #BudgetTravel #JiufenOldStreet #MyTravelPlan #RecommendedTravelPlan

Taipei Charming City Hotel, located near Xinyi Anhe MRT Station, is the cheapest hotel in Taipei on weekends and holidays that I searched on the booking website. It cost about NT$3,000 to stay for one night on Saturday. Although the building's appearance is relatively old, I had a good impression of the Charming City Hotel in Taichung, so I decided to stay in Taipei! As expected, I was not disappointed as soon as I entered the lobby. The hotel provided a row of free small snacks, canned drinks, and coffee machine hot drinks for travelers to take for free. I haven't stayed in a hotel that provides such a rich variety of snacks for a long time. Although it is not a very exquisite food, it can make travelers feel very happy! The decoration of the room is indeed old-fashioned, but it is very clean. The room also provides mineral water. The bed is very large and comfortable. It is very relaxing to lie on the big bed and watch the big TV. I like its yellow soft light, which makes people relax unconsciously. Taipei's Xiangcheng Hotel doesn't have a large bathtub or provide slippers, but the flaws outweigh the merits, and it is still a hotel with a high CP value in my mind🏨! #Taipei #TaipeiAccommodation #TaipeiXiangchengHotel #CPValue #JulyGoodPlace2025

📍Muko Brunch (Taipei) I visited this popular brunch shop yesterday and the overall experience was amazing. For the main course, I chose the "Potato Dice Beef", which has freshly fried crispy homemade potato flakes on the bottom, topped with smooth Hollandaise sauce and perfectly poached eggs, and served with juicy dice beef. The taste is rich and layered, making people unable to stop eating one bite after another. ☕️Cappuccino is also worth mentioning. The milk foam is dense and delicate, with a hint of hazelnut fragrance, and the flavor is very balanced. The entire cafe is bright and comfortable, with large floor-to-ceiling windows and natural light, making it an ideal place to chat and relax with friends. 💡**The biggest highlight? There is no service charge here! **For friends who are used to being charged 10% in Taiwanese cafes, this is really a plus. ✅ Exquisite and filling meals ✅ Spacious and comfortable environment ✅ No service charge, super high CP value! 📸Recommendation Index: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 (5/5) Whether you are a brunch lover or a coffee lover, Muko Brunch is definitely worth a visit! #MukoBrunch #Taipei Food Recommendation #Must-visit for brunch lovers #Cafe Recommendation #No-Service-Fee Cafe #Potato Dice Cow #Homemade Hash Browns #Quality Coffee Everyday #Taipei Cafe #Food Photography Holy Land #Unlimited Time Cafe #Fragrant Coffee #Taipei Brunch #Poached Egg Lover #Cafe Relaxation Everyday #Cappuccino Lover #Good Place for Friends to Meet Up #Healing Meals

Coppii Lumii Living Coffee Ranran Life (Economic and Trade Store)｜Daily Quality Coffee in Neihu, Taipei ☕️🍰 Today I spent the whole afternoon at the Coppii Lumii Living Coffee Economic and Trade Store, and was completely impressed by the sense of space and details of this store. The high-ceilinged floors, large floor-to-ceiling windows that let in natural light, and wooden decorations with green plants make people relax instantly. It is very suitable for work, reading or chatting with friends. 🥐 Must-order recommendation: Signature Cinnamon Bridge Snail Roll + Hot Cappuccino The cinnamon roll is layered like a bridge, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The rich cinnamon aroma blends perfectly with the frosting, and is paired with lightly toasted fresh cream on the side. Every bite is healing. Hot Cappuccino is also one of the highlights-the milk foam is dense and delicate, the coffee is fragrant but not bitter, and the entrance has soft layers. It is the kind of handmade coffee that you know is carefully made as soon as you drink it. 🍽 There are also various desserts, puddings and quiches in the refrigerator, so you don’t have to worry about stepping on thunder if you want to try new flavors. The overall space not only has a strong sense of design, but also has a distance between the seats, which is not crowded and has a sense of privacy. This is really not just a cafe, but more like a quiet corner in the city. 💵 High CP value, no additional service charge, and the average price of a single item is just over 100~ 💬 I didn’t expect that there is such a chill place in Taiwan, which makes people reluctant to leave! 📍 Neihu District, Taipei City｜Coppii Lumii Living Coffee (Ran Ran Life Economic and Trade Store) #CoppiiLumii #Ran Ran Life #Taipei Cafe #Café Recommendation #Neihu Cafe #Coffee Control #Coffee Daily #Cinnamon Roll #Café Check-in #Taiwan Cafe #chill Afternoon Tea #CafeVibes #TaiwanCafe #Daily Ritual Sense #Quality Life #Coffee Traveler #Taipei Dessert #CoffeeTime
