10-day Trip to Taipei

Free to read

Ten days in Taipei with two kids, a deep love of food, and a determination to skip the tourist traps. This map is the real version of our trip: the night markets we kept coming back to (Raohe won), the beef noodle shop that's been a family favorite for a generation, the Yongkang Street block we walked so many times we lost count, and the Maokong tea houses worth the gondola ride. It's built from local friends' recommendations and a lot of walking, organized by neighborhood the way we actually moved through the city. Coffee shops, claw machines, oyster omelettes, a surprise afternoon at Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, and every spot that earned a second visit. If you're bringing little ones to Taipei or just want to eat your way through it like a local, start here.

Food Spots

The food map. Every spot here earned its place, vetted by local friends who actually know where to eat, not a search algorithm. This is the lu rou fan, the oyster omelettes, the beef noodles worth crossing town for, and the Yongkang Street crawl we did more than once. Night market favorites, neighborhood coffee shops, and the dishes we'd fly back for. No tourist traps, just the good stuff.
