Taipei Main Station

"Taipei Main Station is a central hub to everything in Taipei, from; malls, MRT, Airport Express, to the most valuable and secret part 💎 --- the basement. BASEMENT SHOPPING: 😯 Taipei Main Station basement floors are filled with otaku dreams, like the Nakano Broadway/Akihabara of Taiwan. Anime merch, arcades, gachapon, purikura, video games, ghibli merch, electronics, and more! 🐦 On the weekends, there are even local & independent vendors selling new and used anime merch at tables for a great deal. 🥘 Also, on the weekends you will see a large amount of people from SE Asia enjoying Indonesian and Filipino food stalls."

"Known as the biggest transportation hub in Taiwan, Taipei Main Station is where the MRT, HSR, and TRA all connect, making it easy to get around the whole island. If you plan on taking lots of day trips out of the city, then staying in this area would save you a lot of time!"
