Hi gian, you may also take the airport bus to get to taipei. Route information is a/v in the airport website. If you are opting for a cab, dont worry as I think they can understand WU-FEN-PU which is the direct pronouncation to its Chinese words. National Palace Museum is not too far from wufenpu if ur taking the cab. Don’t worry and enjoy ur trip!

Hi there! i’ll be stopping by in Taiwan for about ten hours on my way home to Canada so I thought maybe I’d explore a bit of the city while I’m there. I have a few questions, I hope you don’t mind!

I’ll be by myself and I don’t speak Taiwanese so I’m a bit worried about getting around. Like, from the airport I know that I would have to take a taxi before I can get to any of the trains right? And I don’t know if communicating with the taxi operators will be a problem. I really want to visit WuFenPu market (that’s how I found your blog–I was googling about it) but haven’t the faintest idea how to get there from the airport. Any suggestions? And will communicating with the merchants be a problem if I don’t speak Taiwanese? Also, is WuFenPu to far from National palace Museum? Because I wanted to visit there, too, but I’m not too sure if I’ll have enough time… I hope I’m not asking too many questions! And great blog, btw, the pictures will be very helpful. Thanks!

Alamak, I chanced upon your fantastic blog only after I returned from Taipei this week.
Your photos are very well taken and your essays are well written.

We went to Taroko National Park in Hualian, then spent some time in Taipei free & easy.
We did 4 day trips each to the north, south, east & west of Taipei Main Station, and yes, Wufenpu Wholesale Centre should be visited together with the Raohe Street Night Market as they are both in the east & near to each other.

What we did in Taipei was :-

One day to the east – San Yat-Sen Memorial – Taipei 101 Mall & Observatory – Wufenpu Wholesale Market – Raohe Street Night Market (in the order of opening times)

One day to the west – Ximending shopping – Longshan Temple – Huaxi Street (Snake Alley) Night Market

One day to the north – Beitou – Xinbeitou & Hot Springs/Library – Danshui’s Fisherman Wharf – Lover’s Bridge – Danshui (Tamshui) Old Street Night Market

One day to the south – Xindian – Bifen – Wulai – Waterfalls – Shilin Night Market
(Shilin is actually slightly north, but we finished Wulai early & I had to buy my Asics sports shoes & my sweetheart just loves night markets … every night.)

and YES, your lovely blog brings back sweet memories to the places we had visited & the food we had eaten … the stand up mee suah / noodles at Ximenting, Shilin’s big sausages & fried oysters, the beef mee, Danshui’s fish ball soup & bak pow; bubble teas, and Ah Ma’s sour plum drink!

Keep up your good work!
