Insider Tips
- EasyCard works on metro, buses, YouBike rentals, and convenience stores
- Eat at Din Tai Fung's original Taipei branch — it really is better than the franchise outlets
- Visit Beitou hot springs as a half-day trip from the city centre
- Shilin Night Market is touristy; Raohe and Ningxia are better for actual local food
