If you’re on a tight budget but still want something to take home from your trip, you should skip the glitzy department stores and malls in favour of street shopping in Taipei. These atmospheric markets and shopping streets sell everything from second hand goods and gadgets to unusual fashion apparel, food, and flowers. Haggling and bargaining are part of the fun, and the best way to recharge, is by making a pit-stop and grabbing a quick bite at one of the stalls selling local delicacies.
