A beautiful spot in Taipei! I went to The Top(屋頂上)!

There is actually a stylish restaurant bar a.k.a. in Taipei. My Taiwanese friend told me about this, so I went to The Top.

It is located halfway up Yangmingshan in Shilin District, and there are three ways to get there:

• By taxi
• By Uber
• By Bus and walk

I heard that there was a bus leaving from MRT Jiantan Station, so I got off, but I had no idea where the bus stop was or where the restaurant was, so I ended up taking a taxi.

So, if you want to take a taxi from the beginning, Meitoku Station might be the closest one.

Well, considering the cost of taxis in Japan, it might be better to take a taxi from within Taipei city .

By the way, I tried taking the bus on my way back, but the closest bus stop was near an university, which was quite a walk down the mountain (on an asphalt road), so I think a taxi or Uber would be the correct answer.

When I arrived in front of the store by taxi, there was already a line.

Even though it’s Taipei (albeit in the suburbs), it’s near the top of a mountain, so I remember it being so cool that it was a bit chilly to wear a T-shirt at night. (December)

I told the staff at the restaurant and got a receipt with my number, and while I was waiting in the slightly chilly weather wearing a T-shirt, my number was called and I was shown to my seat. I feel like it’s better to make a reservation, but I’m not sure if you can make reservations over the phone in English.

I think you should expect to have to wait for some time if you don’t make a reservation.

I walked to the seat I was guided to. . . There. . .

yeah?

nhh?

Whaaats!??

So in front of me is a pool with an infinity-like design that is lit up. A night view of Taipei city ahead. Taipei 101 can be seen in the distance.

A space where the tension rises appeared.

And I was shown to a very nice seat. There’s nothing blocking the view in front of the pool, so it’s a wonderful, extraordinary space!

That’s why I’m drinking alcohol and eating sweets. We enjoyed the time in front of the wonderful space and night view!

Sweets also look great!

However, it’s not a club, so there’s no place to dance, and there’s no loud music, so I think the concept is to enjoy your time while drinking in a stylish space. The atmosphere is club-like.

I think there was hot pot in the menu in the restaurant.

When I left the restaurant, there were many customers waiting in line.

A night view from a vantage point a short distance after leaving the store.

On the way home, there was a Starbucks (Kusayama branch) that was renovated from a former US military house.

It’s a little far from central Taipei, but the space is nice, so I thought it was worth a visit.

I don’t think you can use credit cards, so it’s better to bring some cash with you.
