taipei, May 20 (NITN): Taiwan is an Indian shopaholics delight; fabulous night markets with bargains that are a steal, great food and a buzzing atmosphere from its night markets to the high-end shopping mall.
With a conversion rate that works in the Indian traveller’s favour (1 Taiwanese dollar equals about 2 INR) one will have plenty to choose from such as mobiles and accessories, designer clothing, flea market bargains, lifestyle products and electronics.
The weekend jade markets and computer lane in Taipei's Guanghua Commercial Plaza are also very popular with locals and tourists alike.
Luxury stores of well-known brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Mui Mui and Salvatore Ferragamo line up in a plush wonder along Dunhua South Road between Xinyi and Zhongxiao East roads and stock everything from branded clothes, to jewellery, shoes, bags and leather items.
This area is also popular thanks to its convenient location. The section between SOGO department store and Taipei Metro The Mall is a good bet for those who love glitz and glamour of high-end brand names.
The Xinyi Planning District is considered Taipei’s trendy commercial district and consists of dozens of fashionable malls, restaurants and hotels between Xinyi Road sections 4 and 5.
Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store's New Life Square and A4 branches, Novel Hall for Performing Arts, New York Mall, View Show Cinemas, Grand Hyatt Taipei Hotel, and Taipei 101 are just a few of the many places here where one can enjoy some retail therapy.
