About Us

Why 543? In Taiwanese, 543 means “random stuff.” The website initially started out as a team blog covering a wide range of topics on all things Taiwanese. Taipei543.com has now evolved into an online resource dedicated to English-speakers in Taiwan, and especially in Taipei. Our mission is to improve the quality of peoples’ experiences in Taiwan, and we aim to fulfill this by:

- Featuring the best in food, travel, nightlife, and arts & entertainment in Taipei
- Providing a directory of the best restaurants, shops & more and a calendar of fun local events
- Intertwining both local and international communities in Taiwan
