臺北是一座富有文化，歷史，與自然景色的城市。今年早些時候，海外網站《Buzzfeed》挑選此城市為世界上最適合獨自旅行的地方之一。臺北的都市魅力與台灣令人著迷的自然風光使《紐約時報》列入「2014年52個必遊景點」之列，而把此島嶼排名第十一名。由於國際媒體多次報道臺北風景的吸引力，因此該城市逐漸成為國際遊客的必去之處。去年臺北命名為「2016世界設計之都」，可見良好的設計跟城市的特色有緊密關係。今兩年來，許多具有創新設計的青年旅舍在大臺北一家一家開幕，為國際旅客端出誘人的新住宿選擇。
這一期將介紹五家這一類的青年旅舍。每一家有自己獨特的設計，而且每床的價格為六百到一千臺幣，為旅客提供完美設計與價廉的結合。精打細算的遊客一定會有一個輕鬆、品質佳與價格低的住宿選擇；在一個熱情的地方能同時認識來自各國的新朋友，也能體驗臺北。
The city of Taipei is a place of culture, history and rich natural scenery. Earlier this year the overseas website Buzz feed chose the city as one of the world's best places for solo travel, and the urban charms of Taipei, along with Taiwan's stunning natural scenery, stimulated The New York Times to choose the island as one of the "52 Places to Go in 2014," placing it 11th. With the international media repeatedly reporting on Taipei's scenic allure, the city is increasingly identified as a must-visit destination travelers. Last year designated as the World Design Capital 2016, good design is intricately linked with this city's character. In the last two years many youth hostels of innovative design have been unveiled around the metropolis, presenting the international traveler with attractive new accommodation choices.
In this issue we introduce five of these youth hostels. Each has its own novel design, and in each a bed goes for NT$600 to NT$1000, presenting travelers with the perfect combination of good design and budget once Budget-conscious travelers are assured a relaxed stay with both assured quality and budget-friendliness, at a friendly place where you'll meet new friends from around the globe while experiencing Taipei.
