Taipei is a shopping extravaganza that caters to every budget. For those who are looking for an authentic Taipei shopping experience and like a bargain, the night markets are the places to head for. At Shilin (Jiantan MRT) you can find everything from clothes to traditional regional foods.
Stop for a bite to eat at one of the roadside food vendors, whose specialities include oyster omelettes. Looking for souvenirs? Explore a plethora of night markets, with artisanal goods competing for attention with stylish clothes and street food.
If it’s a more upmarket shopping experience you’re looking for then head towards the Taipei 101 Shopping centre and the Bellavita Shopping Mall. These stock the usual brand name goods.
