taipei, May 20 (NITN): Taiwan is an Indian shopaholics delight; fabulous night markets with bargains that are a steal, great food and a buzzing atmosphere from its night markets to the high-end shopping mall.

The weekend jade markets and computer lane in Taipei's Guanghua Commercial Plaza are also very popular with locals and tourists alike.  
 
Luxury stores of well-known brands such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Mui Mui and Salvatore Ferragamo line up in a plush wonder along Dunhua South Road between Xinyi and Zhongxiao East roads and stock everything from branded clothes, to jewellery, shoes, bags and leather items. 
 
This area is also popular thanks to its convenient location. The section between SOGO department store and Taipei Metro The Mall is a good bet for those who love glitz and glamour of high-end brand names.
