It is only a 30-minute train ride from Taipei railroad station. If you like pottery and ceramics, you can easily spend a few hours there. Only some stores take credit cards though, so ask in advance. I would suggest to go around once and make mental notes of what you like or not and try to compare prices (they are about the same). I personally do not like things that a mass-produced (i.e. things that you see in many stores). Rather, I found things that are unique and only available in one or two stores. But that's just me. If I could carry more, i would have bought a lot more stuff. Very happy there.

A half-day trip to Sanxia is worth considering I'd you are interested in untouched placed within a busy city. You will see rows of old brick buildings, friendly people and immerse in happy atmosphere. From the bus stop to the old street, stop by the rows of stalls along the street to have enjoyable conversations with the stall holders, taste their food made from traditional recipes. The old street is of T-shape, explore them and you will end at the glorious temple where you can find good eateries serving unpretentious delicious food.
