Set up as a forum for cultural exchange between nations, the Spot Taipei Film House – showing six films per day and open from noon to midnight – is just 180 metres from the Regent Taipei, while the fascinating Ppaper Shop; selling fascinating home accessories from around the world, is a mere 200 metres. Still on foot, it’s worth exploring Di Hua Street market (1.7 km) for everything from Chinese medicine to Asian confectionery, and the Eslite Bookstore (Dun Nan branch), which hosts everything from public reading to musical events, is some 4.3km away.
