Can’t miss this lively night market! I would recommend coming from 630 to 7pm onwards to see the market in full swing. Ximending sells your typical street food carts, along with many restaurants and small shops selling souvenirs. I prefer this to Raohe market.

Very popular area best visited from around 6pm. I assumed some streets become pedestrian only. Hundreds of shops around the area to suit all budgets. Everything is modern looking with all the neon lights to go with it. The night I visited it was very busy but I suspect it's busy every night. Certainly worth grabbing a bite to eat and having a walk around.

This is Asia.  You know the drill, bright lights, shops, food, entertainment, neon billboards and loads of people.  Great atmosphere with buskers playing music and all sorts of things going on. There are High Street names like H&M to traditional shops, food stalls and more. So much going on. A mix of everything!

Ximending is the Kingdom of Youth. The area is known as "West Gate." It's a favorite area for young people to hang out, especially students. There are lots of cheap eateries, and transport on the MRT is convenient. Ximending adjoins the Wanhua district, one of the oldest areas of Taipei. You can wander around for hours, there's lots to see and do.

Great place to stroll and shop. Taiwanese souvenirs and global fashion brands beckon. Lots of things to do. Needed a half day itinerary at least. Taiwanese classics made popular , such as the milk tea , fried chicken and hand pulled noodles are not to be missed . Only drawback was that it was a struggle to finding public restrooms.

The best place to base in when visiting Taipei. There's lots to see and do, not forgetting the never ending supply of delicious food. So much shopping to do and so many souvenir shops around as well. It's always very happening at the Ximen MRT Station area. Very convenient to get to everywhere via MRT or bus.

You can find the famous rainbow road. It's a busy area filled with a variety of food stalls and shops that sell items from clothing, souvenirs etc. Buskers and street performers are around the area too.

Ximending is a must see in Taipei. There are numerous stores, restaurants and cafe. General price is reasonable to slightly higher as it is also a tourist attraction. There are so many things to see, eat and indulge.

My hotel being located in Ximending, I visited it several times when I was in Taipei. It has shops, restaurants, stores selling souvenirs made in Taiwan, etc. Located near it is the Ximending Metro Station ( Green Line). In the evening, they have the Night Market for cheap local cuisines here. More crowd here in the evening than during the day.

Xinyi has the luxury brands and Ximending has the non luxury ones. You see Nike, Uniqlo etc. here, many local brands, and not-great restaurants. In fact, the food options here are very limited and bad 5/10
