24 Hour 7 Eleven Stores – Get Help Here!
7-Eleven stores are open 24 hours and are your best bet to run there in emergencies!
There are cameras in the store and outside.
If you’re in trouble, just stand in front of the camera and wave frantically for help.
I spoke to a few experienced women travelers, and their advice is: You Can Get Help—24 Hour 7 Eleven Stores.
It’s easier to locate a 7-Eleven than a police station in a new city or neighborhood.
Safety Aside, there are Other Conveniences for everyone at 7 Eleven!

# 2 Withdraw Money from an ATM
With your cash card, you may withdraw Taiwanese dollars from the ATMs in 7-Eleven.
The ATM service is in traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, and English.
So don’t worry about not being illiterate in Chinese. Just follow the instructions and key in the transaction.
For international withdrawals, bank wire fees will be charged.
# 3 Drink Coffee sometimes, I feel this should be # 1 <grins>
City Café makes a good cup of hot coffee that you will at least want to try once.
The other bottled chilled drinks call out to you, especially the many flavored milk drinks.
Have a cuppa and rest awhile as you plan your routes with the city maps.
# 4 Foods
7 Eleven microwave food is tasty.
There are lots to select from, and I have tried most during my trip.
We ate this when famished hence no good photos to show.
I recommend the ham and egg sandwiches (the bread is cottony soft!) Chinese and western noodles, lunchboxes, and even Onigiri (rice ball).
We see office workers buying this and heating it before carting their lunch and dinner boxes home to eat.
# 5 Fresh Fruits
In Taiwan, where a fruit tree is planted determines the size and flavor of the fruit.
7 Eleven is a great place to try different seasonal fresh fruits cut into slices.
You get to work with beautiful sweet melons instead of buying a whole large fruit.
One of the most incredible safety tips for women traveling alone is to head towards a 24 hour 7 Eleven for help.
# 6 Chilled Beverages, Frozen Fruit & Snacks
I get stumped every day when I face the chiller. There are just so many types of deliciously flavored pints of milk, yogurt, and fruit juices to choose from.
I just love everything.
# 7 My Beauty Diary
Affordable beauty and skincare products are available according to skin conditions.
If you’re worried, you can try a pack of beauty masks in your hotel room at night to hydrate your skin.
Beauty masks are one of the must-buys in Taiwan’s 7-Eleven.
# 8 UNI DESIGN Thermal Underwear and Umbrellas
The necessity of life and adjusting to the constantly changing weather in Taiwan is easy to manage.
You can get bamboo fiber thermal underwear, socks, shoes, and umbrellas.
There is cool clothing or even paper products if you run into rain.
# 9 Open Chan
One of the most popular characters from Taiwan, Open Chan, is a dog from outer space.
He is like a fairy godmother who loves making everyone’s dreams come true.
When he waves his wand and says the spell, “OPEN,” everything will be OPEN!
Don’t miss buying home an Open Chan memento.
# 10 Restroom
The restrooms in Taiwan are spotless. Some 7-Eleven offer Free restrooms on the link to the map here.
7-Eleven Sticker Booklets
You can get a sticker booklet at 7 Eleven and save your stickers for collectible items.
You can also redeem for deals at restaurants and stores (8 stickers are needed to redeem them).
Check with the cashier how much Taiwanese Dollars you need to spend to get a sticker.
When you complete ten labels on the booklet, you can get one of the current promotions at 7-Eleven.
