"Lost amid the noisy Shilin Night Market, Ms. Mai (Hanoi) thought she might miss out on the local specialties. Everything changed when she met Hai - a Vietnamese tour guide with 7 years of experience in Taipei. After just one evening being led into a small shop at the end of an alley and tasting the 'second to none' grilled pork, she understood why you need a knowledgeable guide when traveling in Taiwan."
