Welcome to the Taipei Hostel Home Page
The Taipei Hostel is one of the most famous and popular hostels in all of Taiwan. The Taipei Hostel first opened its doors
back in 1976. Back then, it was one of the first youth hostels in all of Taiwan. (This isn't surprising considering the island was
under martial law at the time. Tourism was practically non-existent).
Since then, the Taipei Hostel's worldwide
reputation has only grown as tens of thousands of visitors have passed through its doors.
One of the reasons the Taipei Hostel
has been so successful is because it is conveniently located in the heart of beautiful downtown Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. The Taipei Hostel is a
short walk away from many exciting landmarks scattered throughout the city.
The Chang Kai Shek memorial and park is a five minute walk away.
Asia World department store, the Taipei Main Train Station, Shandow Temple, as well as many nightmarkets and restaurants are
all within walking distance.
The staff and guests at the Taipei Hostel will be happy to help you get around the city and
around Taiwan in general.
Everyone knows that Taiwan is an economic powerhouse. It's GDP ranks it as the 14th largest
economy in world. Not bad, considering you can fly from one end of the island to the other in less than an hour. But what
isn't known is that there is a lot to do and see in Taiwan.
It is the goal of this website to help educate the world as to
all the amazing things that you can see and do in Taiwan and in Taipei as well.
