Many tourists can identify with \u897f\u9580\u753a (Xi Men Ding), but few know about \u6c38\u5eb7\u8857 (Yong Kang Street).<\/p>\n

Maybe Yong Kang Street will ring a bell when you mention \u9f0e\u6cf0\u8c50<\/a> (Ding Tai Feng), \u6c38\u5eb7\u725b\u8089\u9eb5<\/a> (Yong Kang Beef Noodle) or even \u5e08\u5927\u591c\u5e02<\/a> (near an University).<\/p>\n

Yong Kang Street<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this blog post, we covered some of the attractions on Day 8 of our Taiwan trip. Read our 10D9N Taiwan itinerary here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, we made plans to visit a few nearby attractions. It was nice to wake up at 10am, and we took our own sweet time to plan our itinerary. Our family’s style is to travel light and our itinerary is always flexible.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We will cover Xi Men Ding and Yong Kang in this post, next post will cover \u9952\u6cb3\u591c\u5e02 Raohe Night Market, \u4e94\u5206\u57d4 Wu Fen Pu wholesale market and \u8c61\u5c71 Elephant Hill.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We took the train towards Yong Kang Street, Nearest MRT is \u6771\u9580\u7ad9 Dong Men MRT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We would choose Yong Kang Street over Xi Men Ding any day. The crowd at Xi Men Ding can be overwhelming \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Maybe our family is less happening, but Xi Men Ding would appeal to youths and fashionistas. Fancy shops and eateries attract a hip crowd.<\/p>\n

Center Black Box demarcates Yong Kang Street and neighbouring streets. The famous Night Market is only 15min walk South.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At Yong Kang street, we can walk leisurely on the street, enjoy good food and hip cafes or shopping. There are famous desert stalls too. Just look out for the queues.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As I had mentioned, Yong Kang street has many cafes and restaurants rated above 3.5 stars! We are curious about the number of \u53f0\u5357 Tainan noodle stalls too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This Mango dessert is a local landmark at Yong Kang Street. The crowd never cease here, and you can chill, enjoy your Mango dessert and marvel at the street activities.<\/p>\n

Smoothie House<\/a> (\u5403\u51b0 experience rated 3.75\/5) (GPS 25.032531, 121.529808 )<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Like I say, CHILL \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brunch at\u00a0\u597d\u516c\u9053\u91d1\u96de\u5712<\/a>\u00a0 (GPS 25.030663, 121.529475 )<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Delicious local Taiwanese food,\u00a0 a bit like Dim Sum style. Famous for \u5c0f\u7b3c\u5305 Xiao Long Bao (sweet and succulent), we ordered another serving.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Price is very reasonable and value for money, we would rate \u91d1\u96de\u5712 (4\/5)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Leisurely walk, there are more pedestrians than vehicles.\u00a0 Seems like every corner at Yong Kang Street has something new to entice us.\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some bespoke shops, souvenir shopping \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After spending a good part of our morning at Yong Kang street, we hop from\u00a0\u6771\u9580 to\u00a0\u897f\u9580.\u00a0 \u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

Xi Men Ding MRT (GPS 25.042241, 121.508242 )<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u897f\u9580\u753a Xi Men Ding is a huge contrast to Yong Kang.<\/p>\n

Always buzzing, always crowded, and there are malls, cafes and shops 360 degree around (literally). \"\"<\/p>\n

Photo above, Taipei’s KTV hub “Party World”, and below, the iconic red house. There is something for everyone.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

When in Taiwan, follow the queue. And Fried Chicken will be one of the longest, no matter where you go. there are many weird restaurants in Xi Men Ding too (Toilet Restaurant<\/a> yucks haha)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
