Taipei-gastronomy Culinary Delights & 24 hour Amenities F ood is the best representative of this cultural mixing and matching. There is a restaurant or food stand in every block serving the high dense population. As the island's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, its culinary culture has expanded beyond the traditional Chinese food, thus bringing greater complexity than ever. I n Taiwan, many people refuse to give up their nighttime prowling just because of daytime work demands. Many famous night markets in Taiwan are stacked with 24-hour retail outlets: convenient stores, ATMs, Internet cafes, food stands and restaurants, discount stores, book stores, bars and night clubs. This is the benefit of being in Taiwan- satisfaction anytime. If you are suffering from jetlag when you arrive here, come out and experience on first hand the vitality and exuberance of the locals at all hours of the day or night.
