Ashley · Coleman

Hi! I’m Ashley Coleman, Taipei enthusiast and writer for Deep China Travel. I relocated to Taiwan five years ago to teach English, and fell in love with Taipei’s night‑market culture, mountain‑ringed cityscape, and welcoming vibe. With a background in Asian studies, I dig into the city’s mix of indigenous heritage, Japanese colonial remnants, and modern flair. I lead culinary adventures in Shilin and Raohe night markets, early‑morning hikes up Elephant Mountain, and tea‑farm trips to Maokong. My writing often weaves personal anecdotes—like warming up with peanut‑butter cubes at Raohe’s pepper bun stall in winter. I aim to help visitors soak in Taipei’s heartbeat: bustling streets, mountain vistas, and warm tea‑house stops. Let’s explore Taipei’s spirited soul and unique flavors together.
