💰 How far does your money go?
A bowl of beef noodle soup at a Taipei night market costs around £2.50. A specialty coffee is about £3.80, well under what you'd pay for a flat white near your desk in London. Craft beer runs £5 a glass, and a proper cocktail in a speakeasy bar is around £10, roughly what you'd pay standing at a bar in Shoreditch.
☀️ The Weather
Taipei stays mild through the trip window. November brings highs of 24°C and lows of 18°C, still shorts weather most afternoons. December cools to 18-20°C by day and 14-15°C by night. February is the coldest stretch, 11-17°C, jacket territory but nothing like a London winter. By March it's climbing again, 20°C by day and 14°C overnight.
🏨 Where to Stay
Three ways to base yourself in Taipei, all central.
Zuum Inn : 8.0/10 · From £35/night A six-minute walk from Taipei Main Station, built for travellers who want a clean bed and nothing else to pay for.
Hione Holiday Hotel : 8.2/10 · From £85/night A 3.5-star spot with space to breathe, popular with families who want comfort without the price tag of downtown.
Palais de Chine Hotel : 9.0/10 · From £210/night Steps from Taipei Main Station, with a Michelin three-star restaurant on site if you're treating yourself.
🎯 What to Do
Taipei moves fast by day and slows down after dark.
Elephant Mountain : A short, steep hike rewarded with the best skyline view of Taipei 101 in the city.
Longshan Temple and Dihua Street : Incense, century-old architecture and dried goods markets that show Taipei before the skyscrapers.
Raohe Night Market : Skewers, stinky tofu and pepper buns eaten standing up, shoulder to shoulder with locals.
Beitou Hot Springs : Natural thermal baths inside the city limits, something London commuters can't get on a lunch break.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Taipei is a base, not the whole trip.
Jiufen : A hillside town of lantern-lit teahouses, an hour by bus and the reason half your Instagram feed looks like Taiwan already.
Hualien and Taroko Gorge : Marble canyons and river trails, reached by a 2.5-hour train on the Taroko Express. Search flights
Kenting : Taiwan's beach town at the southern tip, surfing and snorkelling with none of the crowds you'd expect in Europe.
Green Island : Diving and hot springs off the east coast, a 15-minute flight or short ferry from Taitung. Search flights
