Tour Options

8-hour tour
This extended tour includes the places visited in the 4-hour tour, but we'll continue the visit in the historic district of Dadaocheng, which has the largest number of traditional businesses in Taipei. Chinese medicine, spice stores, and clothing stores fill the streets.

Explore small contemporary culture hubs and avant-garde restaurants, and visit highlights such as the city's main temple, the bustling cloth market, and a renowned tea house.
Concluding our exploration, we'll immerse ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the Ximending shopping district—the epitome of Taipei's retail scene. Explore local products that transcend the ordinary, ensuring a memorable conclusion to our tour.
