It was quite a dampener to the anticipation when visiting here. Shops and more shops. Only consolation, probably comes from tasting the Ah Yhong Noodles. Probably a good place for bargain hunters.

It was fun but I didnt see anything new there. The shops are pretty much just like what one can find in cities all over Asia. Some foods are interesting, they are sold in carts. But strangely at one point they all ran away. So I assumed they were illegal and the police must have been there to inspect....

We stayed here and highly recommend this suburb as it is one stop to Taipei Main Station and a lot to experience as you wander around, lots of eateris and goodies to try here. We visited an old temple on Chengdu Rd tucked amongst shops that we found very interesting. Go and visit this for yourself. Xi Men is one... More

This place can fufil your dining and shopping desire. You could spend a whole day here if you want and there are few cinemas in this area as well. It's a must go!

Hi, I would like to share my shopping experience in Xi Meng Ting. It is an excellent shopping paradise and here is what I learnt from recent trip. My wife was shopping for handbags and there are many so call “Push Cart Stores” that are set up either along the pillars of the building or along the junctions of the... More

This reminds me of Causeway Bay, HongKong! It's like an upscale night market (evidenced by the many big company-sponsored billboards and signages), which clean WIDE streets for people to walk around, very well-lighted, and mid-range priced store chains. It is very different (BETTER!) from Shilin Night Market, especially in terms of fashion finds , crowd, and food. My husband enjoyed... More

Wide array of shops and at very good prices too. The clothes were very trendy and I bought 8 shirts in one shop at one go. Definitely cheaper than say, Singapore and Bangkok.
