Timeless Taiwan: Taipei Must-Do’s – History, Night Views & Birthday Seafood Market

Welcome to Vlog 3 of Timeless Taiwan – a city wander with landmarks, lights, and late-night bites.

In this episode, we explore Taipei’s historic heart and modern marvels, from the grandeur of Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall to the dizzying heights of Taipei 101. Between sunset strolls, steaming bowls of ramen, and perfectly crafted milk tea, this one’s for city lovers who travel with both a camera and an appetite.

🎥 What’s in this episode:
🏛 Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall – A full-frontal walk toward the iconic building, followed by a closer look inside at the grand statue and that intricate ceiling detail.
🌸 Garden moments – Plum blossoms, serene walkways, and that golden-hour glow filtering through the trees.
🌃 Taipei 101 at night – A lightning-fast elevator ride, glittering skyline views, and street scenes that don’t sleep.
📸 Neon photo stop – A quick pause behind the glowing Taipei 101 decor.
🍜 Ichiran Ramen – Our first Taiwan branch visit, served hot and perfectly seasoned.
✨ Breeze Mall night walk – Trees strung with festive lights and the cool January breeze guiding us back to the subway.
🥟 Xiao Long Bao in Ximending – From dough prep to steamer baskets to that perfect soup-filled bite.
🫖 Oolong Tea Project – My favorite milk tea in Taipei, hands down.
🦞 Aquatic Addiction – A seafood paradise where I tried (and failed) to narrow my birthday feast to under 1000 NTD.
💡 Pro tip: If you’re visiting Taipei in winter, bundle up for the night walks—you’ll want to linger longer when the city lights come on.
