Taipei--April 10, 2014
A free day to enjoy the city of Taipei on our own. Being so close to the Taipei Station, it was convenient for us to go anywhere we wanted.
Taipei Station--the main station for all the trains, high speed trains, and metro.
Huge department store across from the Taipei Station.
Elevator entrance in front of the department store that takes people down to the Taipei Station underground mall.
Metro
Taipei 101 metro station
Taipei 101--Entrance to the food court from the metro exit.
Taipei 101, 2nd tallest building in the world.
Modern and sleek with many high-end stores.
Lunch at the famous Din Tai Fung
open-kitchen
Must have the pork dumplings
braised beef noodle
pork dumplings with crab meat
Every dumpling was weighed and folds counted.
After lunch, we stopped by a stand and bought some macarons as gifts.

Ximendin used to be a popular part of the city when we were young. It is still bustling, but mainly patronized by the younger generation.
