Travel snapshot – Ximending shopping district of Taipei

Friends asked me where to shop in Taipei and Ximending is always my answer. Located in Wanhua district of Western Taipei city, Ximending shopping district is perhaps the most popular spot for local Taiwanese as well as tourists looking for trendy fashions, Japanese culture, exquisite arts, entertainment and local foods. It is also one of the best spot for people watching when a lot of young local people love to do shopping in attractive outfits and style.

Similar to Harajuku or Shibuya of Japan, Ximending shopping district is also one of the best base area with countless accommodations available for your Taipei or Taiwan travel. Staying in Ximending as your travel hub in Taipei is ideal as you can shop until late night and then crawl home to rest! Just don’t forget to try the Ah Jung Mi Xuah, the famous flour rice noodle stalls, whenever you are in Ximending.

Hope you like it! There would be more photos of them coming in shortly. Keep watching this travel photo blog! – Travel Feeder
