Though some distance from downtown, the Chungking-style beef noodles (重慶牛肉麵; Chóngqìng niúròu miàn) here are a worthwhile pilgrimage for committed foodies. Just as hearty and full-flavored are the stewed beef noodles (紅燒牛肉麵; hóngshāo niúròu miàn), while beef noodles in tomato soup (蕃茄牛肉麵; fānjiā niúròu miàn) are a tangy, non-spicy option. Expect to queue for a table. A taxi from the main train station (not the HSR) costs about NT$150.
