[2025 Taipei Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Shi-men Ting (Updated Mar)

#solotrip I finally took a solo trip to Taiwan, and one of my highlights was visiting Pop Mart. If you’re a fan of designer toys, collectibles, or just cute and unique art, you’ll love this place as much as I did. Pop Mart feels like stepping into a magical world. The bright lights, colorful displays, and carefully curated figures are all so eye-catching. I spent so much time just walking around, admiring the beautiful setups – it felt like a mini art exhibition. One thing I loved was the way each display was decorated with such detail. They had everything from blind box exclusives to mega-sized figurines. I even got to see some of my favorite characters up close, like Molly and Panda. The whole experience felt so immersive, almost like a dream for any collector. If you’re planning a solo trip to Taiwan, visiting Pop Mart is a must – whether you’re a fan of toys or just want to see something different and fun. You’ll leave with a smile (and maybe a cute little blind box figure to bring home!).

#solotrip During my solo trip to Taiwan, I visited Pop Mart – a paradise for designer toys and art lovers! The shop felt like stepping into a magical world of collectibles, bright displays, and beautifully arranged figures. From the start, the decor caught my attention – warm lighting, cute character walls, and colorful shelves filled with mystery boxes and figurines. Popular characters like Molly, Dimoo, and Skullpanda were everywhere, each with unique designs and themes. The astronaut display wall was my personal favorite! What I loved most was the variety – rows of mystery boxes, keychains, and creative stationery to bring home as souvenirs. I even spotted limited-edition toys on display that made the visit extra exciting. If you’re a fan of collectible toys or just want something unique to bring back, Pop Mart is a must-visit spot in Taiwan. It’s worth the experience!

#solotrip Last week, I went on my first solo trip to Taiwan, and one of my favorite stops was Pop Mart. As someone who loves cute figurines and blind box toys, this place felt like a dream come true. The moment I saw the store from the outside, I was already excited! The bright yellow windows and colorful signs made it stand out. Inside, the store was even better – shelves and displays full of adorable collectibles. Every corner had something fun to explore, from tiny figures to themed decorations. I also loved how the store design made the whole experience feel magical. There were huge statues of the figurines and creative setups everywhere. I spent hours just looking around and picking out my favorite blind boxes to bring home. The joy of opening them to see what you get is unbeatable! If you’re a fan of Pop Mart or just cute things in general, this place is a must-visit when you’re in Taiwan. It’s not just shopping; it’s like stepping into a world of art and fun.

#Overseas travel 1. Samhyeongmae Mango Bingsu Address: No. 23, Hanzhong St, Wanhua District, Taipei City, Taiwan 108 Key point: Mango Bingsu restaurant Rating: 4.0 The bingsu we chose was the Snow Flower Mango Bingsu! I heard that people usually eat milk-based bingsu, but we just chose the Snow Flower Mango Bingsu. They said it was for 2~3 people, so we ordered one for the three of us, and it was enough. Maybe because it was breakfast, we had some leftovers. And the price was 180, which is about 7,000~8,000 won in Korean prices! 2. Haengbokdang Address: No. 168, Xintian Road, Xinxing Kaohsiung Taiwan Key point: Bubble tea restaurant Rating: 4.0 We went to Haengbokdang to have bubble tea. What I ate was the basic black sugar bubble tea! I was thinking about getting the rose black sugar, but I was afraid that I would fail, so I ordered the regular black sugar bubble tea that I always buy in Korea. I think I waited for about 20 minutes because there were a lot of people!

#timetotravel Shi-Men Ting (also known as Ximending) is the hippy district in Taipei where all the youngsters gather. As can be seen in the rainbow street 🌈, it no doubt is Taipei’s largest LGBT district. You can also find one of the oldest architecture, Red House (红楼). The streets are filled with countless of clothing shops, photobooths, claw machines, restaurants, and most certainly street food. On paper, Shi-Men Ting is a daytime + nighttime pedestrian shopping district in Taipei. However, most shops are not open until noon, so I would recommend visiting at night. But do note Shi-Men Ting can get really crowded with visitors at night. List of restaurants I tried: - “An Zong Mee Sua” for noodles - “Tian Tian Li” for oyster pancake (however I got sick eating this so would not recommend) - “王福芋圓” for taro ball dessert - “Ya Rou Bian 鸭肉扁” for 1/4 duck and duck noodles #境外遊 #taipei #taiwan #food #streetfood

If I had to choose a place that I wanted to go to every day, it would be Ximending Night Market, which has both food and shopping shops that Taiwanese teenagers like to go to. No matter which zone you walk to, you will see only good-looking teenagers, the type of Taiwanese boy in the series. You can say that the weather is nice and easy on the eyes. Wherever you look, it's like being in a series. Everyone dresses really well. #Taiwan #TaiwanTravel #TaiwanTravel #TaiwanPostLockdown #Ximending

2023.02 #TaipeiTravel_My11th #TaiwanTravel If you go to Exit 6, the starting point of the #Ximending (#西門町) tour, you can see the #RainbowCrosswalk, which has become a representative #TaipeiTravelSpot. I didn't know it existed before, but it became a hot place at some point, and I thought I had to go there if I ever came back to Taipei, and I finally came. When I looked from afar, there were no people or any obstacles, so I thought I could take good pictures, but when I got closer, taxis suddenly occupied the road, and people suddenly appeared to take certification shots. After waiting for a few minutes, I was finally able to take a complete picture of the TAIPEI rainbow crosswalk without any interference. #TaiwanTravel #taipei #taipeitravel #taiwan #taiwantravel #台北 #台北旅游 #台灣旅游 #worldtravel

2023.02 #TaipeiTravel_My 11th #TaiwanTravel!! #Taipei I started my free travel and went to Ximending Street. First, I decided to have breakfast and went to #Ahjongmyeonseon #阿宗麵線, which I had eaten at least once when I came to Taipei. As expected, there were quite a few people waiting, but thanks to the experts' quick hands, there was almost no delay, and thanks to that, I was able to receive #Gopchang noodles very quickly. I also asked for a lot of cilantro. After that, I naturally went to the sauce container and added sauce in the ratio of [chili:garlic:vinegar = 2:2:1] and the meal was ready!! After that, I found a suitable seat and started tasting the Gopchang noodles. Although it had been a few years, the depth of the rich bonito-based broth was still there, and the Gopchang without any unpleasant smell was chewy and soft. I started to sweat as if I had taken proper care of my body. #TaiwanTravel #taipei #taipeitravel #taiwan #taiwantravel #台北 #台北旅游 #台灣旅游 #worldtravel #taipeifood

📍 Location: We chose to eat at the Ximending branch. We went in the afternoon and didn't have to wait in line. However, if you go during mealtime, I recommend making a reservation online in advance so you don't have to wait for hours. This restaurant is a buffet with a Thai menu. You can scan and order food via QR code, which is very convenient. You can choose 2 soup bases. We chose collagen soup and mala soup to try. The food came out quite quickly. It was served in a jiffy. They use a robot to serve. It's very advanced. You can order A5 beef, tiger prawns, and tofu skin. Actually, there should be abalone, but it wasn't available on the day we went. 😭 What I really liked was that there was unlimited beer and other alcohol. Or if you want soft drinks, there are cans for you to grab yourself. The sauce bar is very large. There are so many to choose from that you won't know what to mix. I mixed them randomly but they were delicious. There is also a variety of sukiyaki sauce. In case Thais are addicted to Thai-style sukiyaki. 😂 The last highlight is the ice cream bar. You can choose from both Häagen-Dazs and Movenpick. There are almost 30 flavors. It's worth it. ❤️ The price per person is about a thousand baht. #TravelTaiwan

The Taipei Ximen Red House is a historic building located in Wanhua District, Taipei City, Taiwan. It was built in 1908 and was originally a market. With the development of the market and the changes of the times, it has gradually transformed into a gathering place for cultural and creative industries, with many small shops and studios inside, selling various original products and artworks. The architectural style of Ximen Red House combines Chinese and Western elements. It has typical southern Fujian architectural style, as well as Western designs such as arches and iron windows, which is very distinctive. There are many different exhibitions and activities inside the Red Building, such as art exhibitions, handmade markets, concerts, etc. Each month has a different theme, attracting many people to visit and shop. If you want to experience the culture and art of Taipei City, Ximen Red House is a place worth visiting. #TaiwanAttractions #EasterDestinations

Ximending is the first choice for many people to get together. However, you don’t have to choose a restaurant when you go out to eat with friends. Snacks are also a great choice. Today, I recommend this monster’s favorite braised pork rice shop, which is located in Ximending. It is Tiantianli Food Court, which is known as one of the three braised pork rice shops in Taipei. There are other snacks and meals in the store that are loved by many people. I didn’t expect that such a small store is so popular. There is also a great secret way to eat braised pork rice. You must come and try it! Tiantianli Food Court is located on Hanzhong Street in Ximending. There is a row of squid soup nearby and the famous Haoda Chicken Steak is on the same street. There are also some clothing and accessories stores around, which is also within the downtown area of ​​Ximen.

When I visited again, the prices have changed. The usual price of 599 is no longer seen, and the lowest price starts from 799. For children, those over 140 cm are considered adults, but now the age limit is 12. After the price increase, I feel it is not so cost-effective. Of course, the dining environment is still comfortable and clean, and there are large pieces of beef ribs and short ribs, but it feels like there are fewer choices. The buffet bar has not changed, and the red and white wine, beer, sour, vegetarian food, curry, Movenpick and Haagen Daze are very abundant. 2F, No. 36, Hanzhong Street, Wanhua District, Taipei City 108 #localtour #barbecue #eatallyoucan

After eating salty food, I wanted to eat sweet food but I couldn’t find a tofu pudding shop. Fortunately, there are ice cream shops that sell sweet soups. Maybe the Ximen store is newly opened? ! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

There is a super old shop on the right side of the Emei parking lot exit at Ximen. It sells mutton and squid soup, braised pork rice and other side dishes. Every time I pass by, I buy a bowl of braised pork rice and mutton soup. They taste great. It’s delicious, and the braised pork is very fat and not too salty. It’s just right😚 #New Year’s Good Place #Local Travel #Food

#newyearadventure #xingfutang #bubbletea #drinks #taiwan #taipei #ximen #foodie #mustry #musteat Xingfutang is one of the many popular bubble tea store brands that has been well established and franchise world wide. But when you are here, you should at least give this original Xingfutang a try. The boba here is so soft and chewy and it seems like it melts in your mouth. That explains the long queue! Also, you will able to see how the staff process the bubble tea, cook it and into your cup! They too have a set meal that comes with fried chicken where its sold everywhere. Well, in my own opinion, the chicken was just alright, nothing too fantastic. But for sure the bubble tea is a MUST go for! Please don't miss this out! Ask for the burnt brown sugar ones, you will be able to have some of the brown sugar crisp found in your drink too.
