I'm thinking clothes and food lolz:) ooohhh about the shopping, do you have to bargain a lot or the price is just right?
Do you by any chance know a good spa and hair salon?
OK then DEFINETELY head to Shilin = your new best friend. So much food i nearly died...There are plenty of clothes shops around there and some totally awesome shoe shops.
Bargaining...i think you can with the actual street vendors themselves, but i'm not sure about in the shops. Each night market basically has make-shift stalls down the street, with shops open behind them. I don't speak much Mandarin though, so i didn't really bother haggling. Everything is pretty cheap anyways...
Spas etc i'm not sure, sorry...Probably head to Da-an District (around Dunhua Sth Rd and Ren Ai Rds). THey are the main shopping/everything streets, so you'll definately find something there!!
Hi
I agree!! Shi ling is great. Its huge but slightly pricer than Tong Hua Jie & (Wu Fen Bu - are the distributor if im not wrong..)
I prefer Tong hua Jie and Wu fen Bu
Beside Wu fen Bu is Rao He Jie.. Not bad for taiwan small snacks with small street shops.. but its quite small.. I went the other day to Wu fen Bu, Shop Within 3 shops only i spent ard 6000TWD (Scary) but Cheap, i bought alot of clothings, dresses..
Next is Tong Hua Jie, just opposite my hotel (Charming Hotel) $100 plus per night only and the room is magnificant! Near to Dr Chuang Clinic too You can take a cab, 100TWD or walk 15min.. My bf and i walk occasionally, Talk joke laugh and we reached!
Tong Hua jie, I shop almost everynight as its near my hotel and its cheapper, Just one street i can buy alot of things, Heels, T-Shirt, and definitely Lingeries!!! Qualitly, Design is good. In singapore, a unique lingerie costs ard 50-60SGD plus but there (even in ShiLing) is ony 20SGD plus and 40SGD plus for (Costume) ;p
But Wu fen bu shuts quite early.. around 10pm..
Opposite Dr Chuang Clinic has Sogo and lots of shopping mall, Like singapore Orchard road but i checked, their Branded stuffs like LV and MIUMiu pricing is higher.
Hope it helps..
I practically shop everyday till i have to buy the super huge "China Bag" to put my shopping stuffs.
Best to shop at shi Ling and tong hus jie is ard 11 - 12am as they normally close at 1 am plus, thus u can bargain more.
