Practical information : Treat yourself (& others) Taiwan
Timetable
Stores open in the late morning, usually from 11am, and close in the early evening (9:30pm on weekdays, 10pm at weekends). Most shops are open on Sundays. Superstores (7-Eleven, Family Mart, etc.) are open 24/7.
Budget & Tips
The cost of living in Taiwan is as high as in France, although some products are competitively priced compared with Europe (especially electronics and textiles).
Sales
Sales are organized all year round in Taiwan, but there are no set periods for them. Each business is free to sell its products whenever it wishes, although certain periods are more propitious, such as Black Friday in November.
What's very local
Taiwan is a shopper's paradise! From the capital's giant malls to its famous night markets, you can buy everything. Some areas specialize in electronic goods, others in textiles, and still others in local specialties. In the provinces, the choice is a little less vast, but this will be an opportunity to buy regional products such as Alishan tea.
Tourist traps
Because of China's proximity, it's not uncommon to find counterfeit products in Taiwan, on night markets or in small provincial towns. The price and quality of the product are good indicators of whether you're buying an original. Beware of traditional Chinese medicine products, some of which are made from endangered animals and are therefore banned in the rest of the world.
