SHOP IN BAN QIAO, TAIWAN

Ban Qiao has the 3rd highest population among all cities in Taiwan. It is the home of the National Taiwan University of Arts, and the National Banqiao High School, which is considered as the top high schools in New Taipei City. But we’re not here to talk about that, we’re here to talk about the life of the city at this era.

As I have mentioned in my previous blogs, the night is what keeps Taiwanese people alive. More shops are open, more food is being served, and more people wander around the streets. I actually prefer that practice because some things just looks so magical in the evening, the air is cooler, the colorful sparkly lights on the streets are more vivid, and everyone just seems so stress-free and excited to get off work.

You will eventually notice that most Taiwanese love cute, and cool stuff – well, they love to shop. They sell the tiniest item with the tiniest purpose you can think of, and if your fond of clothes, shoes, bags, make-ups and other things I've not said, well, Ban Qiao night market is one of the places to be.

There are tons of shops around the city, it will take you all night, or the night is not even enough.

It may seem scarce, but believe me, the shops go furthermore along this aisle.

There are high-end brands to local brands to choose from, fancy restaurants to street stalls to dine in. My suggestion is to visit Ban Qiao night market place twice, so you’ll be certain that you have not miss anything, unless you're a pro when it comes to shopping.

I don't mean to brag, but this was the city where we usually buy branded shoes, which is rare. Hahaha

And of course, always have fun!
