The Sights and Sounds of Taipei Main Station

Taipei Main Station is located in Central Downtown Taipei and it’s one of the busiest transfer stations in Taipei. I really like the neighborhood around Taipei Main Station because it’s non-touristy and filled with real local Taiwanese people going about their daily lives.

The easiest way to get to downtown Taipei is to hop on the MRT and get off at Taipei Main Station.

The buildings in central Taipei are mostly small businesses stacked on top of each other.

The streets of Taipei are also plastered with large business signage with each storefront trying to grab your attention. It feels like Hong Kong without the bright neon lights.

The best place to buy groceries is not a large supermarket, but at an outdoor street market.

Street vendors also sell food, clothing, and accessories.

I found one shop that only sold umbrellas since it rains year-round in Taipei and an umbrella is a quintessential item.

Spas and massage parlors are also hidden in the nook and crannies of the streets of Taipei.

One of my favorite things to do is eat and street food during the daytime can be quite scarce, but not in central Taipei.

I had some amazing noodles from a plastic bag and a delicious fried pork bun.
