The East District of Taipei City was once the most prosperous commercial district, with crowds and brightly lit shops on the streets. Nowadays, many stores here have ceased operations or become promotional stores during exhibitions, and consumers have gradually moved to other commercial areas.
Whether it is a working day or a holiday, the traffic flow in Taipei East District has not decreased, and there are many cars and locomotives. Even if it is cloudy and rainy, you will see motorcycle riders in raincoats moving on here, especially workers who ride motorcycles to help deliver and deliver meals.

The interviewee, Ms. Chen, said, “The traffic flow in the eastern district of Taipei has always been high. This is where Taipei City Hall and HSR Nankang Station are located. Of course, the traffic flow will not be small.” “When residents or office workers in eastern Taipei have long-distance transportation needs. Most of them choose to take a taxi to HSR Nankang Station, so there are many taxis on the road.”
Another interviewee, Mr. Huang, believes that “Although retailers have been declining, there are SOGO Department Stores and Taipei 101 around Taipei East District. These are places that attract people and are one of the reasons why the traffic volume is still large.” “I often come to Taipei East District to go shopping, but the lack of parking spaces is a disadvantage.”
There is also the Huandong Expressway in the eastern district of Taipei, which is a fast road from Neihu, Nangang, Xizhi and other areas to and from the eastern district of Taipei City. It is also a shortcut for Taipei City to enter National Highway No. 3 and National Highway No. 5. The special feature of Taipei East District is that you will often see the towering landmarks of Taipei 101.
Although the number of retailers in Taipei’s eastern area is gradually decreasing and many well-known brands move to other popular shopping areas, it is still an important transportation hub, and the daily traffic volume is still enormous. If you travel to Taiwan and visit essential attractions such as the Taipei 101 Building and Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, you can choose to take the MRT, so you don’t have to worry about traffic flow parking spaces. Take the Bannan Line and get off at the Middle and Small Fuxing Station to visit Sogo Department Store. Take the Tamsui Xinyi Line and get off at Taipei 101 Station to see the landmarks of Taipei. Staying in the restaurant on the top floor will be an experience you will never forget.
