Trip Overview

Taipei's best food isn't in Michelin restaurants but in dawn wet markets and late-night night markets. Over two days we dive into Nanmen Market for dried goods, slurp a bowl of beef noodles in Yongkang Street, learn to brew oolong in a century-old Dihua Street tea house, then feast our way through Ningxia and Shilin night markets. With a local foodie guide, you'll taste the city's warmth.
