Ximending is popularly known as the "Harajuku " of Taipei, a shopping district with massive variety of food and clothing.
We chose to stay here in Ximending because it reminds me of Myeong-dong in South Korea. As usual, I meticulously search for an affordable, comfortable and stylish hotel in Ximending and I found this one, Via Hotel Ximen.
By the way, the hotel has 8.6 rating from Agoda so it's not bad, huh.
» Via Hotel Ximen «
Via Hotel Ximen is a chic boutique hotel located in Ximending district. It was built in 2012 so it's pretty new and clean. It's just a 3 - 5 minutes walk from Ximen MRT station, Exit 6.
