About us

# Taipei New in Town | Travelers, Newcomers & Friends 🌏

New to Taipei? Traveling solo? Staying for a few weeks or a few months and want to meet people and build a social circle in Taipei?
You’re in the right place.

At Taipei Weekend Social, our friendly local hosts help you break the ice, introduce you to people, keep the energy going, and make it much easier to join the group — especially if you arrive alone.

🤝 You don’t have to figure out how to meet people by yourself. We’ll help you get into the group.

And the night often continues after the main event.
On Fridays, our local host will usually bring anyone who wants to keep going to one of Taipei’s busiest nightlife areas:

  • 🍻 MAJI Square in Yuanshan
  • 🎧 DJ bars and nightlife venues in Xinyi

The goal isn’t just to meet people for two hours.
We want you to make friends, make plans together, and actually enjoy Taipei with the people you meet here.

## 🗣️ Is This a Language Exchange?

Not really.
You’ll meet people from many different countries, and some international students and Mandarin learners join us, but the main purpose is making friends and building real social connections.

***

## 🙋 Coming Alone?

That’s completely normal here.
Many of our guests are new to Taipei or don’t have an established social circle yet.
Our hosts are there to help you meet people and feel comfortable joining the group.
