Hotel tiers
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Courtyard by Marriott Taipei
NangangApprox. 1.5 km; one MRT stop or a 15-20 min walk to the exhibition halls to venue
Attached to the Nangang station complex, so the Airport MRT plus a single transfer works without a taxi. Book as soon as your booth or badge is confirmed.
The Place Taipei
NangangApprox. 2 km; 10-15 min walk or a short taxi hop to the halls to venue
Practical base for exhibitors who need to be on the floor early; breakfast is usually included and the surrounding Nangang blocks have convenience stores and casual restaurants.
Home Hotel Taipei
XinyiApprox. 5 km; 15-20 min by MRT or taxi to the halls to venue
Good fallback when Nangang is full, with Taipei 101 dining and shopping within walking distance for evening meetings.
Grand Hyatt Taipei
XinyiApprox. 6 km; 15-20 min by taxi to the halls to venue
Where larger supplier teams and distributor delegations often stay; ask for a corporate rate tied to the exhibition dates when reserving.
Local transport
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
metro
Estimated costUSD 2.50-6 single metro/light-rail journey (contactless)
Best forTaipei Nangang Exhibition Center station to the exhibition halls (Wenhu Line, with Bannan Line also serving the station)
The station sits directly at the exhibition complex, so the last leg is a signed indoor walk rather than a street transfer. Use an EasyCard or contactless bank card at the gates.
airport train
Estimated costUSD 2.50-6 single metro/light-rail journey (contactless)
Best forTaiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) to Taipei Main Station on the Airport MRT
Roughly 35-40 minutes terminal to Taipei Main Station, where you change to the Wenhu or Bannan Line toward Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. Trains run frequently through the day.
taxi
Estimated costApprox. USD taxi/rideshare from TPE to venue (estimate; confirm before travel)
Best forTaiwan Taoyuan International (TPE) to Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC)
Best option with heavy equipment samples or late arrivals; the trip takes about 50-70 minutes outside rush hour and longer in the morning inbound peak.
taxi
Estimated costUSD 35–75 taxi or rideshare to the venue district
Best forXinyi or Songshan hotel to the Nangang exhibition halls
Short hops from Xinyi, Songshan and Dazhi hotels are cheap by taxi, which is why many exhibitors skip the MRT transfer with sample cases.
bus
Estimated costUSD 2.50-6 single metro/light-rail journey (contactless)
Best forCity bus routes serving the Nangang exhibition district
Slower and more local than the MRT, but useful for the short gap between Nangang Software Park hotels and the halls when it is raining.
bike share
Estimated costApprox. NT$10 for the first 30 minutes on YouBike 2.0, charged to the registered EasyCard (estimate; confirm current tariff)
Best forYouBike 2.0 docking stations around Nangang and Xinyi
Sensible for the 10-15 minute run between Nangang hotels and the halls when the weather is dry; needs a registered EasyCard or local app account.
parking
Estimated costApprox. NT$40-70 per hour with a daily cap that varies by hall operator (estimate; confirm posted rates on arrival)
Best forOn-site car parking at the Nangang exhibition complex
Show weeks fill the exhibition car parks early, so arrive before the mid-morning peak or park in the surrounding commercial buildings and walk across.
Weather
The 11-14 March 2027 show dates fall in Taipei's early-spring wet shoulder season: mild, humid days with highs mostly around 19-21 C and overnight lows near 14-15 C, and roughly 14 rain days across a typical March. Expect drizzle, low cloud and damp air rather than tropical downpours, and allow a few extra minutes walking between the MRT exits and the hall entrances because the connecting walkways are partly open air.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Everything on site is priced in New Taiwan Dollars (TWD), and Taiwan runs on 110 V with type A and B plugs, so European equipment and laptops need an adapter. Pick up a tourist SIM from the Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile or FarEasTone counters in the Taoyuan Airport arrivals hall on landing, since exhibitor-scanner apps, translation tools and ride-hailing all need data inside the halls. Free Wi-Fi is normally available in the exhibition complex, but mobile data is more reliable during busy show hours.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Currency and payments
The currency is the New Taiwan Dollar (TWD). Hotels and larger equipment exhibitors accept major credit cards, but ingredient stalls, sample purchases and night markets run on cash, so withdraw TWD at Taoyuan Airport or a Nangang ATM before the halls open.
Language on the floor
Traditional Chinese is the working language of most Taiwanese bakery chains and distributors; larger machinery and ingredient suppliers usually field English-speaking staff. A translation app is worth having for smaller booths and for reading ingredient specifications.
Tipping and dining
Tipping is not customary in Taipei; restaurants add a service charge where applicable, and taxi drivers expect the metered fare only. Nangang and neighbouring Songshan have casual noodle shops and the Raohe Night Market for evening meals after the show.
Business etiquette
Business cards are exchanged with both hands and a brief nod, and meetings tend to start with a few minutes of relationship-building before pricing. Scheduling buyer meetings in advance rather than walking up to busy booths during peak hours is the faster route to a serious conversation.
Practical guides
Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: TPE
Fly into Taiwan Taoyuan International (TPE) for the widest choice of long-haul connections, or Taipei Songshan (TSA) if your origin has a service, since Songshan is 20-30 minutes from the halls on the Wenhu Line. Mid-March is not a Taiwanese holiday peak, but show week pushes up Nangang hotel demand, so ticket and hotel together roughly 6-10 weeks out. Compare a TPE arrival with one MRT change against a pricier TSA arrival before booking.
Visa
Visa-exempt entry applies to passport holders from a list of eligible countries; others need a visitor visa for business purposes issued by Taiwan's Bureau of Consular Affairs or an eVisa where eligible. Check your nationality against the BOCA rules before booking.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Business visitors typically apply for a visitor visa for business purposes with invitation or company documentation from the Taiwanese organiser; eligible nationals can apply through the BOCA eVisa portal.
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Taiwan Taoyuan International (TPE). Allow road or rail time to Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC); on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC): Nangang: Courtyard by Marriott Taipei; Nangang: The Place Taipei; Xinyi: Home Hotel Taipei.
Ride-hail: Uber operates in Taipei, and local hailing apps such as LINE TAXI and the 55688 Taiwan Taxi app are widely used, so booking a car from a Nangang hotel to the halls is straightforward. Drivers generally accept the app fare without cash tips, and queues at the exhibition taxi rank are shorter mid-afternoon than immediately after the halls close.
Public transit: Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center station is served by the Wenhu Line and the Bannan Line, putting the bakery show one ride from Taipei Main Station and two from Xinyi. Load an EasyCard or a contactless bank card at the gates and budget roughly NT$20-35 per journey. The Airport MRT links Taoyuan Airport to Taipei Main Station, and Songshan Airport station on the Wenhu Line reaches the exhibition complex directly.
Parking: The Nangang exhibition complex has on-site car parking, typically charged by the hour (approx. NT$40-70 per hour, with hall-specific daily caps). Show weeks fill the exhibition car parks by mid-morning, so exhibitors with machinery deliveries should use the designated loading bays and move vehicles to surrounding commercial car parks once unloading is done.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: March 2027
Temperature: Approx. 14-21 C across the show days, with daytime highs near 19-21 C and overnight lows around 14-15 C
Seasonality: Early spring is one of Taipei's wetter stretches, with drizzle and short showers on roughly 14 days of a typical March. Humidity stays high between showers, and the damp feel persists into the evening.
Packing: Pack light layers you can add indoors for air-conditioned halls, a compact umbrella or packable rain shell for the walk from the MRT exit to the entrance, and shoes that can handle wet pavement plus long hours on concrete floors. A small bag for catalogues and ingredient samples saves a second trip to the halls.

When is the Taipei International Bakery Show (TIBS) 2027 and how long does it run?
The 2027 edition is scheduled for 11-14 March 2027, a four-day run from Thursday to Sunday in Taipei. Daily opening hours and the last-admission cut-off are published on the organiser site (tibs.org.tw/en/schedule) closer to the show, so check the schedule page before fixing your travel days.
Where in Taipei is the bakery show held?
TIBS is staged at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center (TaiNEX) in the Nangang district, the city's main purpose-built exhibition complex for large food and equipment shows. Confirm the hall number on tibs.org.tw before booking a hotel, because Hall 1 and Hall 2 sit at different MRT exits.
Is TIBS open to the public or trade buyers only?
Registration runs through the official organiser site, and Taiwanese bakery shows typically mix trade registration with public admission on some days. Check the 2027 registration categories on tibs.org.tw to see whether your badge type is trade-only or general admission, and bring passport or business-card ID matching the registration.
What product groups can buyers see on the TIBS floor?
Expect flour, premixes, improvers, fats, dairy, chocolate and fillings, frozen and par-baked dough, plus machinery such as spiral mixers, dividers, dough sheeters, deck and rack ovens, proofers, retarder-provers, refrigeration, display counters, packaging and shop-fitting equipment. Coffee, tea and beverage equipment is usually present because Taiwanese bakeries sell drinks alongside bread.
How do I get from Taiwan Taoyuan Airport (TPE) to the Nangang exhibition halls?
Take the Airport MRT from the terminal to Taipei Main Station (approx. NT$150-160, about 35-40 minutes), then transfer to the Wenhu or Bannan Line toward Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. A metered taxi from TPE directly to Nangang takes roughly 50-70 minutes in normal traffic and costs around NT$1,100-1,400; allow extra time during rush hour.
Can I fly into Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA) instead?
Yes, if your origin has a Songshan service. TSA sits about 20-30 minutes by taxi from Nangang, and the Wenhu Line MRT from Songshan Airport station runs toward Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center without a change, which makes it the most convenient arrival for the show.
Do I need a visa to attend TIBS in Taipei?
Visa-free entry of 90, 30 or 14 days applies to many passport holders, and Taiwan also runs an online Travel Authorization Certificate for several South and Southeast Asian nationalities. Rules are revised periodically, so verify your nationality against Taiwan's Bureau of Consular Affairs before booking, and carry a passport valid for at least six months.
What is the weather like in Taipei during the March show dates?
March is early spring in Taipei: mild and humid, with daytime temperatures usually around 15-21 C and roughly 14 rain days across the month. Rain tends to arrive as drizzle or short showers rather than all-day storms, so a compact umbrella and a light layer are more useful than heavy winter clothing.
Are live baking competitions and demos part of the show?
Past editions have run staged baking competitions and demonstration kitchens alongside the trade floor, and those are typically listed on the organiser schedule page rather than in the exhibitor directory. Check tibs.org.tw/en/schedule for the 2027 demo and competition timetable before planning your days on the floor.
What currency and payment methods should I bring to the show?
Everything on site is priced in New Taiwan Dollars (TWD). Hotels and larger equipment exhibitors take major credit cards, but small ingredient stalls, sample sales and night markets often prefer cash, so withdraw TWD at Taoyuan Airport or an ATM in Nangang before the halls open.
Glossary
1
TIBS
Taipei International Bakery Show, the baking and bakery-equipment trade fair staged in Taipei each March; the 2027 edition runs 11-14 March and brings ingredient suppliers, equipment makers, packaging vendors and shop-fitters onto one floor.
2
Bake-off
The retail practice of finishing part-baked or frozen dough on shop premises rather than baking from raw ingredients; a recurring equipment and frozen-dough theme across TIBS exhibits.
3
Par-baked
Dough that is partly baked, then chilled or frozen, so the retailer can complete the bake and sell warm bread with minimal skilled labour.
4
Lamination
Folding a butter or fat block into dough through repeated sheeting and folding to build the layers used in croissants, danishes and puff pastry; lamination lines and dough sheeters are core equipment categories at the show.
5
Pre-ferment (poolish, biga, levain)
A portion of flour, water and yeast or starter fermented ahead of the main mix to build flavour, extensibility and shelf life in artisan bread; ingredient suppliers at TIBS sell pre-ferment and sourdough systems built around this step.
6
Deck oven
A stone-hearth oven with independent top and bottom heat per deck, standard for artisan loaves and baguettes; deck ovens, rack ovens and convection ovens are a major machinery group on the TaiNEX floor.
7
Spiral mixer
A mixer with a rotating bowl and spiral arm that develops gluten gently, widely used for high-hydration and laminated doughs in Asian and European-style bakeries.
8
Proofing
The final fermentation of shaped dough before baking, carried out in proofing cabinets or rooms where temperature and humidity are controlled; proofing equipment and retarder-provers are standard TIBS exhibits.
9
Frozen dough technology
Blast-freezing shaped or unshaped dough so it can be shipped to in-store bakeries and baked later; a growing category for Taiwanese chains and convenience-store bakery programmes.
10
Clean label
Products formulated with short, recognisable ingredient lists and without artificial additives; a rising claim for premixes, improvers and fillings shown at the fair.
11
HACCP
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, the food-safety management system most Taiwanese bakery plants and central kitchens are expected to follow when buying ingredients and equipment.
12
TaiNEX
Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, the exhibition complex in Taipei's Nangang district served by the Wenhu and Bannan MRT lines; the practical reference point for hotels, taxis and the airport transfer to the show.
