Miramar










Miramar

Miramar, a famous sightseeing spot in Taipei, is the place I want to introduce. The most special thing of this department store is the Ferris Wheel. It is the first department store which has the Ferris wheel (it can also be called sky wheel) in Taiwan. Not only this, Miramar also has everything what others department stores have, such as cinema, food court, coffee shops, restaurants, and of course, the sales department.
Miramar is a well-known spot because of its Ferris wheel. It is such a romantic place that many couples like to have a date there, especially at night. The Ferris wheel will be more beautiful at night than in the day because of the light. But of course, you can have different feeling when you go to the Ferris wheel in the day. If you want, you can try both!
But be aware that there will be a lot of people when you come to Miramar during the weekend, and of course, you will have to stand in a long line just for taking the Ferris wheel. To keep off this matter, I suggest you to come to Miramar on weekdays, so that you can truly enjoy yourselves!
Just near by the Ferris wheel, there is the carousel. This is really different from the other department stores! The carousel here not offers facilities not only for children, but also for couples who want to experience romantic atmosphere or just want to recapture the mood when they were still unmarried.
And I am going to recommend some good restaurants around here to you. For example, Five-Dime (Chinese called五角船板), a very special restaurant just near by the Miramar. It has a distinctive appearance, particular the design. And the food here is also really good!
On the other hand, if you want to have a big meal in the Miramar, I suggest that you can go to Vicky’s Steak House(Chinese called美琪牛排館). The food there is exquisite, and the greatest thing is that you can enjoy the beautiful view of Ferris wheel while having the meal.
If you think Miramar only has Ferris wheel and nice restaurants, you are completely wrong! To be a department store, just as others, Miramar has a lot of fantastic shops, shop for sport like NIKE, ADIDAS…; store for woman such as CHICA, V_K…; counters of Cosmetics as ESTEE LAUDER, L'OCCITANE, ANNA SUI and so on …can also be found in Miramar! The thing it sold from clothing to kitchenware; it has almost everything you want!
The shop I’d like to recommend is agnes' b. I love the design of this brand, especially the BIJOUX and FEMME. Next time when coming to Miramar, you must visit this shop!
And if you want to see the movie, it would not be impossible in Miramar. There is an excellent cinema; it’s not only the normal one but also IMAX theater. Go and experience the fascination of IMAX theater, then you will feel like the story of movie just happen in front of you!
If you have children, do not worry, just bring them here. Children can enjoy themselves in Tom’s World (湯姆熊). It is a place prepared for children. And Miramar also has lots of shops that only for children: dressing, toys, hair salon and anything that you can image.
The way to get here is convenient. Though the MRT station here is not finish yet, you can take the free shuttle bus to Miramar at MRT Jiantan station. Or you can take bus 72, 247, 287, 222, 286, 208, 33, R2, 267…to the stop “Miramar” to get here!
Enjoy your trip!
