Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kjrpaqui/ The capital of this small island has seen an increasing number of foreign tourists every year. It’s no longer an extremely budget destination, although it’s still considerably cheaper than Japan. Not to worry, though. If you’re a budget traveler thinking of visiting this awesome city, there are still plenty of cheap and free things to do in and around Taipei.

Here are 10 things to do in Taipei on a budget. Hike Elephant Mountain. Hiking Elephant Mountain is one of the top things to do on the weekend for free. Get to see a view of the Taipei skyline away from the bustling city below. Head to Xiangshan on the MRT then follow the signs. To get to a lookout point takes about twenty minutes from the bottom, and hiking the whole trail is a few hours. Stuff yourself at Shilin Night Market. This is not necessarily free but it can be if you just people watch all night but who can pass up the opportunity to try the food that is offered in this market. Beitou Hot Springs. Taipei is the perfect base to day trip from, and one of the day trips you shouldn’t miss is to the Beitou Hot Springs. The wonderful MRT will take you to Beitou at the end of the red line, and then you can walk out to the springs. Visit Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall. The Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall is a landmark of Taipei, erected to the former President of the Republic of China. It’s totally free to just wander around, and although it won’t take up the whole of your day it’s unmissable. It contrasts with the general business and dirt of the rest of Taipei and is large, white, and dramatic. This should be on everyone’s list of things to do in Taipei, free or not. Da’an Forest Park Especially in summer, Da’an forest park, which is in the center of the city, feels like a tropical oasis. In fact, it’s possible to completely forget that you’re in the middle of a city as the greenery will distract you. Taipei, in general, doesn’t have large green spaces, opting mainly for tiny parks on every corner filled with middle-aged women practicing dance routines, which makes this park something special. Hang Out at the 24 Hour Bookstore. The Eslite Dunnan store was the world’s first 24-hour bookstore, which is fitting for a city filled with hipsters and arty people. There’s a decent selection of English language books, and in the daytime, the other sections are also open, including a food court, a stationery store, and artisan stalls. Taipei Expo Park. Taipei Expo Park was originally built for the international flora exhibition and is now used for a variety of things like lantern sculpture festivals, open-air film screenings, art exhibitions, and anything else that needs a large and arty open air space. Also on the site of the Expo park are the Taipei Fine Arts Museum which is unmissable and constantly has creative exhibitions running, and the Taipei Story house which tells the history of Taiwan in a typically cute and adorable way. Jianguo Holiday Flower and Jade Market. Looking to pick up some jewels or Jade to take back with you? You’ll find them cheaper at the Jianguo Holiday Flower and Jade Market than anywhere else. Day Trip From Taipei to Houtong Cat Village. Cat lovers be warned. This is DEFINITELY going on your list of things to do in Taipei. Barely an hour out of Taipei, and cheap to get to on the train, Houtong Cat Village. Temples, Temples, Temples. Taiwan has over 15,000 temples, and counting. You’ll get used to the smell of incense on every street as you walk past these tiny temples on your way anywhere. The main religions of the temples are Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian, and you’ll notice the varying architecture depending on which is which. Taoist temples are loud, in terms of decoration and celebration, Buddhist temples are generally more reserved, and Confucian temples are walled #travel #travelguide #traveltips. #thingstodo #thingstodowithkids
