After two days in Taipei with a lot of walking, I was really tired and in dire need of a massage. Compared to Thailand or Vietnam the massage is a little bit more expensive, but still quite a bit cheaper than in Japan or Europe.
There are many massage places around Shilin Night Market, and we felt it might be cheaper to go somewhere less touristy for a massage. In the end, we realized the price was basically the same even somewhere else. So feel free to take up any of the offers for a nice foot or body massage and just relax for a little while.
I only had one massage but it definitely was the best massage in Taipei I could have had. I don’t think I have ever had a foot massage as strong. It really hurt quite a lot, but afterward I felt very very light.
The masseur really knew where to press, he also explained how everything in my body is connected and what points on my feet represented what parts of my body.
Cost: 30 minutes 400 NTD, 60 minutes 800 NTD
