Experience of the stay
Tango Inn Taipei JiHe is located about a 1-minute walk from Exit 2 of the MRT JianTan Station, making it extremely close. It’s so close that you can see the hotel from the platform, so traveling with a lot of luggage is very easy.
You can also access the popular tourist spot, Shilin Night Market, in about a 5-minute walk, which means you can enjoy Taiwanese cuisine late into the night and return safely afterward.
【Access from the Airport】
About 35 minutes by express train to Taipei Station from Taoyuan Airport MRT, and about 50 minutes by local train for 160 TWD one way. From Taipei to the airport MRT at JianTan Station, it’s about 20 TWD one way, so you can arrive in about an hour.
【Hotel Breakfast (Light Meal)】
All guests are provided with fruits and bread every morning, but since it’s first-come-first-served, if you arrive late, they may be gone.
There is a lounge space available for common use, and coffee is available anytime.
This time, I booked a room with a balcony, and the toilet provided a nice washlet.
The bathroom only has a shower.
The washbasin can barely fit two people side by side.
There is a drum washing machine on the balcony, along with detergent, which was very considerate.
Space wasn’t an issue, and the washing machine on the balcony was very convenient.
This hotel is highly recommended for those whose main focus is sightseeing or gourmet experiences.
Experiences during the trip
A 10-minute walk from the hotel, or just one station by train, is the iconic Shilin Night Market, the largest night market in Taipei. It was bustling as always, with stalls lined up closely together like a festival, which was fun.
The next day, I went to the famous "Tian Dong 86 Beef Noodle Shop" that Kimutaku praised. I tried the "Signature Beef Noodle" and "Spicy Beef Noodle". This is a different experience from eating beef noodles at a stall; both the meat, noodles, and soup were delicious. This place is definitely worth trying!
After I filled my stomach, I headed to the National Palace Museum of Taiwan, one of the four major museums in the world. The museum was immense, filled with treasures. The famous "Taiwanese Cabbage" and "Meat-shaped Stone" were on display in Room 302, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the meat-shaped stone. There were so many highlights that the entrance fee of 350 TWD (about 1717 JPY) felt exceptionally low, especially recommended for sightseeing in the summer or during the rain!
Later, I visited "Shilin Xin Fa Ting", known for its excellent value and fluffy shaved ice, where I got mango and matcha flavors. The ice was incredibly fluffy and delicious. The matcha flavor was frozen matcha, so it didn’t dilute and was extremely tasty.
Then, for my last dinner in Taiwan, I went to a famous pork trotter restaurant called "Lao Pai Zhang Pig Trotter Rice", which always has a line. It was incredibly tender and delicious, and despite the appearance, it wasn’t overly rich, so I finished it quickly. Wow, that was tasty! In summary, it was a day full of eating, and I’m worried about gaining weight!
