Getting There

Getting to Ximending from the Chiang Kai Shek International Airport is easy using one of the express airport buses that serve nearly all areas of Taipei. The metro and buses are the best and cheapest ways to get around the city, but they can be confusing, so many people just take taxis to avoid the hassle. Taipei is the world capital of motorbikes and thousands of riders can be found revving their engines at every red light. Ximending is the first pedestrian district of Taipei, so getting around by foot is a wonderful way to absorb the atmosphere that overwhelms the senses.
