This is an amazing driving kids friendly park! One day admission is 200ntd for kids 6 years and under, which I found it very cheap! Single ride ticket isn't expensive too, usually can go in group of 4 with extra 2-3 dollars (us dollars =30ntd) We spend too much time in the mall, when we find out the attractions, the kids (2 and 4 years old) were so excited. Kids can drive by themselves! Real driving not just on tracks. Driver license will be issued based on scores (whether you follow traffic rules,points get added or deducted) Highly recommended for kids all ages!

On our 1st day after arriving from Honolulu(after a Tokyo night layover), we took a taxi ride from the Novotel Taoyuan Airport Hotel to this multi-story shopping mall. Arriving an hour earlier than they open, we walked around the neighborhood and visited a Hi-Life convenience store and had a Chinese Baked Bao. Upon opening at 11am, we entered the Metro Walk Mall and spent 4 hours walking from the basement floor, taking the escalators and elevators up the various floors to see hundreds of shops selling LG appliances, Nike and Timberland clothing, Apple products, H&M merchandise, jewelry, shoes, clothing, Lego, toy shops, and a multitude of dining choices and different foods and pastries. On the top of the mall is the Skywalk and includes a cinema with many movies to view.

Fantastic views of the entire city of Taipei and surrounding region including mountains from the indoor observation deck (360 degree panorama, interactive screen displays to highlight key buildings and landmarks, showing views at different times of day and night), along with a more limited outside observation deck (which gives you the opportunity to look up to see the spire at the top of the tower). Also able to view the ‘damper’, a giant metal sphere designed and tuned to counter-balance exterior forces on the skyscraper such as typhoon winds and earthquakes. Really impressive!
8. Raohe Street Night Market

Jao Ho Street has become a secondary road and the business has also declined. Therefore, the government set up a night market in 1987. It is the second tourist night market in Taipei.

Start at the main gate opposite exit 5 from Songshan MRT station and trawl your way past stall upon stall selling delicious and interesting street food. A big part of the great experience is watching the hawkers in action – they are like performance artists, in a way, unfolding their skill before a live audience! Our picks: the pepper pork buns are well worth the wait, although arriving before 6:30pm will save you many minutes in the queue that was snaking by 8:30pm; grilled squid; any of the tea stalls; pan-fried mini-buns; handmade nougat. The crowd was thronging but never overwhelming – it was always possible to find a place to stand and eat and not be in the way of passersby, then rejoin the moving crowd once we were ready.
9. Chiufen (Jiufen Old Street)

Jiufen is a foodies paradise. Taste the amazing variety on offer. Onigiri, konpeito, taro balls, tea eggs, pineapple cakes, stinky tofu, king mushrooms, red bean cakes, amazing teas, peanut ice-cream roll, Japanese foods, Taiwanese cuisine—the list is endless. The smell of good cooking permeates the narrow lanes, drawing in unsuspecting visitors, as it did Chihiro’s parents in the movie Spirited Away. Come also to pay homage to Miyazaki’s anime Spirited Away. The parallels between town and movie are many: A Mei Teahouse, which is the inspiration for the bathhouse in the movie. The streets and staircases in the movie, so similar to the architecture of Jiufen. Food in all its wondrous variety. House of Ghost Masks. Remember the three bodiless heads in Yubaba’s living room? Gold. Jiufen was a gold mining. In the movie gold nuggets abound: payment, enticement, everywhere. Tunnels. Remember the opening scene where the family walks through a tunnel? There are many tunnels from the old mining days, most closed to the public. The main street strung with red lanterns. Tips Weekdays will be quieter. 2. Carry an umbrella. Unexpected showers happen. 3. You will enjoy recognizing the parallels between Spirited Away and the town if you watch the movie beforehand.
