Hi can i ask some qns about shopping district in Taipei:
西門町 is it like our bugis street? I check online opening hour until 11pm, true for shops and departmental stores selling cloths/accessories?
What about 五分埔? equivalent to where in SG
Lastly, what's the equivalent of Orchid road in Taipei?
Thanks.
Personally I find Singapore shopping industry quite different from Taipei, so it's hard to identify a Bugis or Orchard equivalent in Taipei. Our Orchard is whole stretch of high-end and middle shopping, I don't recall Taipei has something similar. 101, Mitsukoshi, Xinyi comes close but they are not a stretch. XMD is unique too, has a stretch of cinemas, steamboat restaurants, food pushcarts, small boutiques. You may want to consider 忠孝東路 too, there are quite a number of independent labels but they can be quite hard to find even if you use Google maps...
I notice the same in Kaohsiung too, don't have like our Orchard whole stretch of shopping.
