Xinyi Shopping District (信义区)

Obviously, there's the usual (atlas) shopping center: Shin Kong Mitsukoshi (新光三越). A pretty common and grand shopping mall in Taiwan. It reminds me of Takashimaya (Ngee Ann City) from Singapore, where the higher floors from level 1 onward sells branded stuff and the basement sells food and other interesting stuff that are less expensive.

Too bad, we aren't there late enough to see the Japanese Exhibition... (日本商品展).

It's at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi (新光三越) where they celebrates Taiwan's 100 anniversary or was it their own anniversary? Whichever the case, it doesn't matter as there's really huge sales going on, with some of the counter cosmetic products selling at around 70% discount!! I almost bought the eye mask set they are selling if it comes in smaller packs at similar prices.

Address: No. 9, Sōngshòu Road , Sinyi District, Taipei City, Taiwan 110
新光三越信义店, 9号，松寿路，信义区，台北市，台湾110
You just need to  exit from the Taipei City Hall Station (市政府站) and you will be able to see this place.

Of course, along that stretch of road, there are other high class shopping area as well..

Inside one of those shopping malls, I saw this interesting looking seats of a restaurant / cafe I guess, where it has little sushi figuring, hanging on top of big human size cups where people gets to sit inside them.

And there's this antique type writer that I can't help taking photo of at the Eslite Shopping Mall.

And this is the Eslite Bookstore and Shopping Mall at the Xinyi Shopping District (信义区). This is just next to Shin Kong Mitsukoshi (新光三越) building.

There's a water feature in front of one of the shopping malls.

One interesting sight is that I saw a DBS building in this area!! So proud to be a Singaporean as our banks are located at one of their high class district area. :D
