Shinjuku Plaza, Taipei
Shopping in Taipei is nearly synonymous with Shinjuku Plaza. The mall, located next to the Wan Nian Building, offers six floors of clothing, shoes and souvenirs.
Shinjuku Plaza is filled with stores that are run by independent sellers. Shoppers can find name-brand merchandise as well as one-of-a-kind styles. Prices aren't as attractive as some of the outdoor markets, but shoppers can be assured they are getting high-end products rather than convincing lookalikes.
Along with shopping, patrons of Shinjuku Plaza can visit a nail salon, hair salon or a tattoo parlor. The plaza has a cinema and a number of restaurants as well.
Located in the Ximending district, Shinjuku Plaza has a distinct Japanese influence. This can be seen in the design of the architecture and many of the eateries. The plaza opens at noon, which is a perfect time to sample some sushi, dim sum or sip on a trendy bubble tea.
