Νέα Ταϊπέι Πολιτιστικές εμπειρίες

Ήταν μια πολύ ωραία και ευχάριστη εμπειρία. Ήταν μια ηλιόλουστη μέρα, πήγαμε εκεί με ένα τουριστικό λεωφορείο το οποίο μας οδήγησε μέχρι το κατάστημα, έπειτα μας δόθηκε το τετράχρωμο φαναράκι και ένα μαύρο στυλό καλλιγραφίας για να γράψουμε τις ευχές μας. Κάθε χρώμα αντιπροσωπεύει έναν διαφορετικό τομέα της ζωής, π.χ. υγεία και πλούτο κ.λπ. Γράψαμε στο φαναράκι μας μέσα στο κατάστημα πριν βγούμε έξω. Υπήρχαν μέλη του προσωπικού που χρησιμοποιούσαν τα τηλέφωνά μας για να μας τραβήξουν φωτογραφίες και βίντεο στις γραμμές του τρένου και μας έδειξαν πόζες για να βγάλουμε φωτογραφίες από τις διάφορες πλευρές του φαναριού.

Our Shifen sky lantern experience was unforgettable! We came with wishes written on our lantern and left with tons of happy memories (and a lot of photos 😄). The staff were super friendly, energetic, and patient—they made sure our lantern was ready, guided us through every step, and became our personal photographers for the moment. They didn’t just sell us a lantern; they helped create a beautiful memory that we’ll bring home from Taiwan. Thank you for making our Shifen visit extra special! 🎈✨

A great experience, fun and definitely recommended! Since we were the only ones speaking English we ended up having a completely private session of the DIY noodles making, it was very well explained and great fun!

Μου άρεσε πολύ η τοπική ατμόσφαιρα του μαγαζιού. Φορούσα όμορφα ρούχα και έπινα τσάι. Το προσωπικό ήταν πολύ ευγενικό και φιλικό, χαμογελαστό και εξυπηρετικό. Υπήρχαν χαριτωμένες γάτες, τα γλυκά ήταν πεντανόστιμα και μύριζαν τσάι, ενώ η γεύση του τσαγιού ήταν εξαιρετική. Ενώ δεν ένιωθα πολύ καλά, μόλις ήπια το τσάι, ένιωσα καλύτερα. Η ατμόσφαιρα του μαγαζιού ήταν ζεστή, καθαρή και ένιωθα άνετα. Σίγουρα θέλω να ξαναπάω. 💖🫶🏻🍵😍🥰

Μόλις μπαίνετε, παρέχονται ειδικές άνετες παντόφλες και νερό για τους επισκέπτες. Η αισθητικός θα παρουσιάσει εν συντομία τις θεραπείες, αλλά δεν θα πιέσει για πωλήσεις, και η στάση της είναι πολύ ευγενική και ήπια. Ήταν η πρώτη μου φορά εδώ για μια θεραπεία αφαίρεσης μαύρων στιγμάτων, και επειδή είχα καιρό να καθαρίσω τους πόρους μου, η διαδικασία ήταν επώδυνη, αλλά μετά τον καθαρισμό, το δέρμα μου έγινε πραγματικά πολύ καθαρό.

Yesterday, I visited Jiufen after a long time. The only difference this time was that I had booked a Qipao experience. I searched online and found "CHIPAO Jiufen Qipao Rental." Reservations are required in advance! On the day of the experience, the shop environment was small, simple, and clear. The owner, a kind lady, first let us choose our favorite Qipao styles. Let me just say... those who have trouble making decisions are in luck, haha! The owner gave us advice on the Qipaos and quickly and accurately picked out beautiful Qipaos from the rack based on her professional judgment! I still recommend that friends who want to try this do some research beforehand so you don't spend too much time choosing a Qipao. Although the rental period for this Qipao shop is very long (return by 7:00 PM at the latest!), you should spend your time taking beautiful photos! After choosing our outfits, the owner styled our hair into simple updos to match our Qipaos. The online description mentioned simple long hair updos. Although it said "simple," I personally think it was anything but simple. The owner meticulously styled beautiful updos, allowing all the girls to have wonderful memories in Jiufen. After styling our hair, the owner recommended small accessories nearby for us to wear. You can choose them yourself or politely ask the owner for suggestions. Of course, everyone can also bring their own before the experience day. Once the clothes were ready, it was time to choose suitable embroidered shoes. The shop provides black invisible socks, which you can keep! I recommend not choosing embroidered shoes that are too tight, as you'll be climbing some stairs in Jiufen Old Street, and tight shoes might make your feet uncomfortable. The owner also recommended some great photo spots for reference. As June begins, the weather is gradually getting hotter. The shop also provides small bags for the furry shawls, in case you get heatstroke, haha. The weather can be hot, but you must look beautiful! Before leaving the shop to go sightseeing, the shop offers temporary storage for your belongings. You can also switch to a small bag provided by the shop to match your Qipao. Since you haven't paid a storage fee to the shop, be sure to keep your valuables with you. Finally, thank you to the owner for giving us such wonderful memories and service, and thank you, Jiufen, for being so beautiful and amazing!

I highly recommend supporting Grandma’s Lantern! At 94 years old, she is still there with a smile, helping visitors and ensuring everyone has a great experience. The photos we took with her are our favorite souvenirs. It’s a small business with a huge heart—don’t skip this spot!

I had taken the silver clay ring making class at Nimou in 2024 during my last visit to Taiwan and enjoyed it so much I signed up to take it again this visit as well! I should mention I don't speak Chinese and the language barrier was not a problem! The instructors are very patient and knowledgeable. I reccommend arriving with some ideas, the instructors will explain the process of making the ring, they will help you execute your vision and you will leave the studio with a one of a kind piece of jewelry! The first photo is the ring I made in 2024 and the second photo is the one I made today!
