New Taipei Nightlife Index
The heart of New Taipei, beating day and night
is the undisputed core of New Taipei nightlife — old Fuzhong and the new Xinban district, two nights in one. Fuzhong is old Banqiao's night — rechao, izakayas, late-night desserts; walk to the Xinban district and department-store rooftop bars and business KTVs run a different, more urban night. The most transit-friendly nightlife hub in all of New Taipei.
