Taiwan Travel Vlog 🇹🇼 Taipei Shopping 台北购物, Hidden Gems in Chifeng Street 赤峰街 (Taiwan 2023)

On this week’s Taiwan Travel Vlog, we explore one of the best places to go shopping in Taipei (台北购物). We take a break from popular shopping districts like Ximending to visit the lesser-known backstreets and alleyways of Chifeng (赤峰街), where some of the most hip and creative local businesses, cafes and vintage shops can be found in Taiwan. Bustling with youthful energy (especially on the weekends), you never know what one-of-a-kind treasures and Taiwanese souvenirs you might find.
Aside from visiting some of the best vintage shops in Taiwan, we also explore a weekend night market and make sure to grab some delicious Taiwanese street food.

[@solb303]

Do you know of any markets that sell like just second hand stuff that the people of Taiwan actually buy themselves? That cheap cheap stuff

[@RalphSam]

Check out Fuhe Flea Market on the weekend. We actually just shot an upcoming vlog there. Cheap secondhand market. Very very local vibes.

[@aliciafabian6349]

Where is the best district to book the hotel?

[@RalphSam]

The Xinyi and Daan districts are both centrally located and close to night markets and other tourist attractions, so there's always something to do. 😊

[@jenniferlim3808]

Is it still cold in Taipei in March? I am heading therr 2024...temperatures say about 22-26c but everyone seems to be wearing a jacket or smtg in your video😅
