Taiwan night markets are a foodie’s haven with stalls after stalls of tasty snacks. It is best to go in the evening. Our favorite is the Raohe Night Market! David recommends the scallion pancake (zwah-bǐng), and Pam recommends the black pepper buns (Hújiāo bǐng).

As the name suggests, this building stands at 101 floors. It is currently the tallest building in Taiwan, and the observatory deck on the 89th floor will give you great views of Taipei. Tip: Hike up nearby Elephant Mountain for a quick workout with rewarding views of Taipei’s skyline (~30-40 mins)

Addiction Aquatic Development (上引水產), a gourmet marketplace in the Zhongshan District, is a seafood lover’s paradise: From hot pot to sushi to fish grilled or fried, the independently owned stalls of AAD offer seafood cooked with almost every method imaginable.
