Saunas are now less popular in Taiwan, so there are only a few in Taipei, similar to those in Macau and Mainland China.

There are very few massage women available (around 3–5), mostly over 30 years old.

Many parlors have a significant number of gay clients, with some visiting just to socialize; if that applies to you, it can be a good option.

Usually, people go just to shower and rest, or use it as a budget option during business trips.

Famous saunas include: Feilong Sauna, Prince City Sauna, Asia-Pacific Sauna.

Resting inside for 12 hours costs around NT$800–1,200, while massage services cost approximately NT$3,000.

These venues usually provide air-conditioned indoor spaces, drinks, and light snacks, ideal for small groups.
Some fishing clubs host competitions or events for added fun and interaction.

They provide a range of board games, card games, and light refreshments in a cozy and relaxed atmosphere.

🍵 阿公店 / Traditional “Grandpa-style” Bars (Momo Tea, MMT)

These are old-fashioned Taiwanese bars, operating on a public table system (with table-hopping hostesses), now quite rare.
Most are small establishments, frequented mainly by older patrons, functioning similarly to a KTV-style bar (drinking and singing).
Taiwanese women are generally 35+ years old; younger women are usually foreign, so it’s not recommended for young visitors (if you’re in Taiwan, you probably want local women).

Most are located around Wanhua’s Huaxi Street, near Longshan Temple, called “Momo Tea”.
Overall costs are not cheaper than Girls-KTV CLUB(Approximately NT$10,000–30,000 per person).

Hong Kong friends refer to it as “MMT,” but in Taiwan it is essentially a type of “Girls-KTV”
No specific venues are recommended; you can explore on your own.

🏠 一樓一鳳（套房、茶館） / “One Floor, One Phoenix” (Private Rooms, Tea Houses)

Taipei does not have “Louc Feng” (private room escort services), as it is illegal and can easily get you into trouble.
Very few people visit; only a handful of venues exist, mostly featuring foreign women.

Costs are similar to outcall services (details provided below).

(Flower districts, flower streets, show venues, GoGo Bars, bubble baths — none of these exist in Taiwan!)

🛎 外送服務（上門、外送茶、茶、escort、套房） / Outcall Services (Escort, Tea, Private Rooms)

Taipei does not have “Louc Feng,” so outcall services are slightly more common, but they are also illegal and less safe.
If you have a hotel ready, they will come to your hotel.

Fees are quite high, usually charged per hour.
Below NT$10,000, you mostly get foreign women or plus-size women, with limited choices and a high risk of scams; overall costs can be higher than GIRLS_KTV.

Typically, only foreign visitors unfamiliar with the local scene use these services.
Young Taiwanese women usually start at NT$10,000; high-quality services typically start at NT$20,000.
Taipei is about NT$1,000–3,000 more expensive than other areas.

80% of online listings are scams.
No specific venues are recommended; services usually take place in hotels (can be searched via WeChat).

👫 傳撥，飯局（伴遊、外圍妹） / Outcall & Dining Services (Companions, High-End Escorts)

Outcall companions are mostly selected at GIRLS_KTV (licensed Business clubs) for more options.

Alternatively, “Dining Companions” can be booked for a full day (high spending).

Companions exist in most countries, providing 12–24 hours of company, but reservations are required; otherwise, only lower-quality options remain.

Outcall (lower-tier / legally cleared) services send women to accompany clients for eating, drinking, entertainment, and singing.
In Taipei, there is no chauffeur; companions go on their own, so quality is hard to guarantee, photos are the only reference.

They can be sent to restaurants, nightclubs, bars, large parties, shopping, night markets, movies, or public venues.

Fees are similar to GIRLS_KTV, but quality varies greatly—most are low, very few are high-end, and luck plays a big role. Rates start around NT$2,000 per hour.

Similar to high-end escorts in Mainland China, usually offered as a flat rate starting from NT$100,000.

🎭 秀場 SHOW BAR（成人純秀場，只有表演） / Show Bar (Adult-Only Performances)

In 2024, Taipei opened its first show bar featuring male dancer shows, hot female dance performances, and ladyboy shows, with performances rotating regularly.

Taiwanese culture is relatively conservative; the shows focus on creating a lively atmosphere without excessive nudity.
Suitable for both men and women, friends can go together to enjoy the exciting vibe!
