Things to do in Shilin Night Market

We had a fantastic time with Chiu at the markets. She had wonderful recommendations and even got us access to smaller portions so we could try everything. Aside from the food, we were also given a rundown of the temple and recommendations for the rest of our trip in Taiwan. Would definitely recommend Chiu for anyone’s first time in Taiwan!

Open 24 hours. I bought a voucher on Klook, and the price was the same as in the store: a 60-minute full-body acupressure massage for $1088. It's a bit of a shame that you can't choose your therapist. If you want to select a specific therapist, I recommend calling ahead to make a reservation and paying on-site. There's a mechanical parking garage nearby, and you can park for free on B5, but it happened to be under maintenance that day. There are plenty of scooter parking spots on the road in front, so I recommend coming by bus or scooter. The environment looked nice, and the decor was to my liking, but I'm not sure if it was because it's in the basement, there was a slight smell of smoke 🚬. This time, I was randomly assigned female therapist #29, and my companion had female therapist #23. Overall, it was pretty good; they hit all the sore spots. After the session, they provided refreshments, and the herbal tea was delicious. The service attitude was excellent.

Xiaohei was a fantastic guide — super friendly and took many lovely photos for us! Really enjoyed the trip as it’s for smaller group, making the whole experience more relaxed and enjoyable. Would totally recommend 😊

Here’s a shorter, polished version you can use: --- We had an amazing tour of Yangmingshan National Park and the National Palace Museum. Everything was smooth, well-organized, and very enjoyable. A big thank you to our guide, Michael—he was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and hospitable. He went above and beyond by assisting my grandma during the hike, helping us order lunch, and even taking us to Qingtiangang Grassland as a bonus stop. We especially appreciated how he warmly called my grandma “Mama,” which made the experience feel extra personal. The museum tour was also excellent—I learned so much! Highly recommend this tour!

We had a great experience on this tour! Our guide was very friendly, efficient, and helpful. He also shared interesting history and recommended great food along the way. We really enjoyed the tour! Highly recommended! 😊

Very easy to book and use. Need to get a physical ticket at the ticket counter on the 1st floor. I went on a weekday to 89th and 101th floor. Unfortunately the weather became cloudy and rainy around the evening time so the view was not that great, however managed get few photos whenever the clouds dispersed. The tuned mass damper on 88th floor was interesting. In my opinion going to 101th floor is not worth it. It is quite small and made like a fern garden. Also the windows are of half length. 89th floor will have much better views with full length glass walls.

We had a very special and meaningful experience here 💍😚! The staff were all professional and friendly, helping us check and confirm each step to ensure we were doing it correctly and offering advice. There was no pressure, and we had plenty of time to create our pieces! Highly recommended!

This was a last minute booking. Booked it on the way to Beitou. Redeemed it within 15 mins with no issues. Staff were very accommodating and the 90 mins for the bath were more than enough. Complimentary snacks and cold drinks as well. There’s a hot and cold plunge within the private room. Just take note that there’s an additional 300 NTD fee for weekend visits.

Spring City Resort This time, we used a Klook package that included one meal and a two-hour hot spring private room for 3,500 NTD. Upon arrival at the hotel entrance, a valet attendant will assist with parking, as guests are not permitted to drive down to the parking area themselves. It's good to be prepared to tip when leaving, to avoid an awkward moment with your wallet. Dinner was a fixed Japanese set menu with no other options available. Overall, it was decent. After eating, you can take a stroll around the area before returning to the hot springs. The pace of the itinerary felt quite relaxing. While the private hot spring room showed some signs of age and an older decor style, the room itself was spacious, and the bathing area was also roomy. The soundproofing of the main door was average, but since we visited on a weekday and there weren't many people, it wasn't a significant issue. What was rather perplexing was that shortly after we entered the room, a staff member knocked on the door and said our time was up. We were completely bewildered, thinking, "We just got in; did time fly by, or is our life being fast-forwarded?" The staff member later confirmed the mistake, apologized, and left, but this little incident was certainly a bit odd. Overall, although Spring City Resort's facilities and decor show their age, the service was generally acceptable, and the environment had a pleasant resort atmosphere. For 3,500 NTD for one meal and a two-hour private hot spring room, the value for money is still pretty good, making it a suitable place for a relaxing hot spring experience.
