Taipei City Office of Commerce

Quite distinct from Europe or the US, Taipei can be said to be the city that never sleeps, and she grows more beautiful by night! Here in Taipei, there's something going on 24 hours a day. And it's not just convenience stores that are open around the clock. KTVs, comic-rental reading rooms, Internet cafes, teashops and coffee houses, and movie theatres have all gotten into the act. Even some gyms and bookstores are open 24 hours, and many breakfast stores and doujiang [soybean milk] shops have followed suit.

Taipei by night is never boring! To enjoy the city's American style , why not try out the area around National Taiwan Normal University, Shuangcheng Street, Linsen North Road or Anhe Road? Or, for a taste of the foreign, check out Tianmu. Western liquor is on offer, of course, but you will also see Taiwanese-style open-air beer halls where you can enjoy a quick-fried delight while quaffing a beer or two. To dance the night away, or get an earful of some electronic sounds, the Xinyi and Dazhi areas feature plenty of discos which bring in noted bands or DJs to spin tunes.Why not try midnight-movie?The density of movie theaters in Ximending can satisfy your needs. Who loves to enjoy the peacefulness, you are welcome to visit Maokong to taste the tea, and chat with your friends! Wherever you go, you'll be impressed by the sheer vitality of Taipei's vibrant nightlife.
