Dihua Street Commercial District

A fantastic experience! The owner was very friendly and provided excellent service. Highly recommended! 👍

Thanks to our reservation, we were able to get in right away. The location is easy to find if you search for "Hong Kong cafe". It's near Old Street, so you won't have any trouble finding a place to eat. It's a live orchestra style, where you sing by request and the band provides accompaniment. Lots of young people were participating, and some even sang Japanese songs. It was an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience for music lovers. We played the guitar and sang ourselves. There's also an electric piano, so you can play and sing at the same time. P.S. Japanese isn't spoken, but you can communicate with broken English.

I participated in the morning tour. I thought we would be going by bus, but it was a slightly larger, nicer taxi. The seats were very plush. Inside the car, the guide gave us explanations about Taiwan and greetings in Taiwanese. We were also given handmade maps and given recommendations for shops and viewpoints beforehand. I participated alone, but thanks to the guide's thoughtfulness, I was able to enjoy myself without any worries. When we arrived in Jiufen, we were given an explanation about the temple, and we all went to the famous A-Mei Tea House, where the guide asked us about our plans after the tour ended. I wanted to eat the taro ball soup at A-Gan Yi Taro Ball, so I went there. It was drizzling and foggy that day, so all I could see from the observation deck at A-Gan Yi Taro Ball was fog, but it was still fun. After that, I looked around the shops on Jishan Street. I thought Jishan Street would be an arcade, but although it has a roof, it's not a complete arcade. Jishan Street looks flat on the map, but there are many ups and downs, so it's best to wear comfortable shoes. The meeting point in Jiufen was at the temple where we got out of the car, which was very easy to find. On the way back, you'll be asked whether you want to get off at Taipei Main Station or Dihua Street. Don't worry, you can decide after consulting with your guide.

The guide was excellent. Even though I'm not fluent in English, I had no problems. There were quizzes and pineapple cake samples, which made it very enjoyable. The other customers were also very nice. Thank you for a wonderful time!
