10 Reasons Why Taipei is the Best City
With
global icons like Dintaifung and Taipei 101, it’s pretty evident Taipei
is quite an excellent city. But have you ever wondered just how amazing
Taipei is? Here are 10 reasons why Taipei is the best city to be in.

2. The Shopping
With hubs like Ximending, Shilin Night Market, and Dongqu, Taipei is packed to the brim with boutiques and shops. With the sheer volume of stores, it’s hard for anybody to not find something they like. The best part? Everything is affordable! You’ll never have to empty your wallet for that tank top you’ve been coveting.
3. The Food
Taiwan has always been known for its xiao chi, with dishes like stinky tofu and mala hotpot spreading across the globe. What better place to find Taiwanese food than the cultural hub, and capital, of Taiwan? Like the shopping, food here is always cheap, yet delicious.

Taipei is known for having one of the world’s highest 7-11 density in any given area. Besides the typical slushie and hot dog fare you’d find at an American convenience store, Taiwan 7-11′s also sell things ranging from hot pot ingredients to telephone cards! They even offer services like photo development and bill payments. In fact, 7-11 in Taiwan even has its own Wikipedia page! Need more convincing? Here are seven reasons why we love 7-11.
