What to do and see in Taipei, Taiwan: The Best Traveler Resources
You can eat very well—and very cheaply—in Taipei. The restaurants may not look posh, but the quality of the food is superlative. And there’s a huge variety of restaurants—in addition to local Taiwanese specialties, you’ll find regional cuisines from all over China, as well as great Indian, Japanese and even Italian options. Just make sure to leave some room for snacks—street-vendor food here is addictive.

Beitou is famous for its hot springs, some of which are near the library. I have a friend who lives nearby, so I have been there often. My friend loves books, she was a history teacher, and the Beitou library has an excellent monograph (book) collection. You can also read newspapers and magazines. The library is nicely constructed. It's well worth a visit. It's popular with older patrons, who like reading the papers. Youngsters enjoy the children's section.

The Taipei International Convention Center (TICC) is well organised and easy to get to, the MRT Red line stop is nearby. Considering the large number of meals they serve when there is a big convention, the food is very good. I have attended several dinners there and I was impressed by the food and organisation.

If you go to the Taipei Zoo, please do this activity as it is right outside the zoo entrance. Visit the zoo first, then when you need some time to rest the feet, take the gondola to the top of the mountain. Very relaxing great view of the surrounding area. Very long ride for the price (at least 20 mins). Several stops along the way but suggest going to the top first as can be a wait to get back on from one of the stops. Easier to get back on going back down. Also, every third or fourth gondola has a glass floor to give you a little different view if you want. No extra charge, just get in the glass bottom line. Highly recommend.

I stayed for 6 hours and with a private room, I paid $83. I was in Room 20 which is the corner room on the right side as you walk in to the hallway past the 2 bathrooms. There are 2 lounges on the 4th floor, the other one that's close to the restaurants has no private room and it closes at 10PM. Go to the one that's further out next to China Airlines and it's 24 hours with private rooms. They provide toothbrush and tooth paste, towels and shampoo and shower gel. There's a small selection of 24 hour buffet. You can also order a limited number of hot meals such as beef noodle soup, small slices of chicken breast with rice.There are also a variety of drinks, bread fruits and dessert. Clean and reasonably quiet. I love the private room for privacy and if you want to just leave your bags and go shopping or simply to rest. They also have a wake up call where they will knock at your door! Without the private room, the cost is $66 for 6 hours for walk ins. . If you book on line, 6 hours without private room is $52, but you cannot book the private room on line. So if you have a long layover, go for the private room and you can book as walk in customer. Worth every penny!
