Food to me is the hidden gems of Taiwan.

 

[Habrosus]

Street food and night markets are gems of Taiwan to me. Not hidden, though.

Where can I check out for food besides the night markets? Heard Yong Kang Street has quite a lot options too...

For night markets, Shihlin, Raohe, anywhere else worth checking out?

Yongkang street is a good choice. DTF lao dian is there. A lot of japs will go there. Got beef noodles, mango ice, etc.

I like ningxia nm. The oyster omelette there is the best imo. It is not big though.

about 20min walk from the train station ...

I found two ways to reach National Palace Museum but which one is convenient? I will be staying at TS Hotel at Ximending with my family. I hope the public bus is easy to get.

You found two ways but did not specify which two...

My advise, train to shilin station. Cross the road and take a bus to 故宮博物館。
Yes, it is easy to go. If bus is not your cuppa tea, hitch a cab and get there once you reach shilin station.

Shida downscaled after complaints from locals.
The few mentioned are more for locals, like hidden gem.

Sorry. I left the details out. Yes. One of the ways is taking R30 (Red) from Shilin Station. The other way is taking a B-something (Brown) from a Brown Line station. Argh... I need to go and search again.
