Taipei Pineapple Cake, Qing Costume, and Shilin Night Market

  • Meet your Taipei tour guide at a pre-decided location and proceed for your tour.

  • Try your hand at baking zesty pineapple cakes. Follow the steps the master teaches you as you knead the dough to make crispy pastry and stuff it with pineapple filling from Tainan Guanmiao.

  • Wear a traditional Qing dynasty wedding costume. Take a look at the patterns on the wedding clothes and shoes, and understand their significance. Brides in ancient times prayed for good luck, longevity, and fertility by embroidering objects and animals with positive meanings onto their wedding dresses.

  • Make your way to Shilin Night Market, one of Taiwan's largest and most popular night markets. The alleyways of the market form a maze filled with food and merchandise. Here, you can find must-try Taiwanese foods such as fried chicken steak, tempura, bubble tea, oyster omelette, fried buns, and the notorious stinky tofu.
