Songshou Rd Night Market Mystery
So I'm heading to @Taipei next month, and I've heard Songshou Rd Night Market is amazing...but also a little chaotic. I'm planning on going on a Tuesday night – anyone know if the vibe is significant… more
Tuesday night at Songshan is still pretty lively, don't worry. It won't be as packed as a weekend, but it'll definitely have that buzzing atmosphere you're looking for. Think less shoulder-to-shoulder and more comfortably crowded. The stinky tofu...yeah, it lives up to its name. Prepare your nostrils. But it's also surprisingly delicious! Just hold your breath while you approach the stall if you're really worried. You'll be fine.
Haha, good to know! Shoulder-to-shoulder is definitely not my ideal night market experience. Comfortably crowded sounds perfect. Stinky tofu... I'm both intrigued and terrified. The "prepare your nostrils" warning is...helpful. I’ll try to mentally prepare myself. Thanks for the heads-up!
Jiuwushan Hike Advice?
So I'm planning a solo hike up Jiuwushan next month. Heard the trails can be pretty gnarly, especially if you go off-trail. Any tips from experienced hikers on navigating the less-traveled paths? I'… more
Wow, Jiuwushan solo hike? Respect. That mountain's no joke. Stick to the marked trails, seriously. Getting lost there is not fun. Even if you're fit, the terrain can be brutal – loose rocks, steep drops… the whole shebang. Download offline maps before you go – and I mean really offline, not just relying on your phone's data. A compass and maybe even a whistle are good ideas too. Tell someone your exact plan, including your estimated return time, and check in with them when you can. As for getting there from Taipei, the easiest way is probably a bus. Look into buses going towards Yangmingshan National Park; Jiuwushan is within the park. Check a few different bus routes and schedules online beforehand – you don't wanna end up stranded. Pack plenty of water, snacks, and layers. Weather up there can change in a heartbeat. Have fun, and stay safe!
