Ambassador Theatres 國賓影城@淡水禮萊廣場 Review

Surprisingly, there are 2 movie theatres in Tamsui. One at New Square Mall and another here at Tan Shui Lilai Plaza. From the outside, you wouldn’t expect to find a small mall here. But inside Tan Shui Lilai Plaza, you can find Ambassador Theatres along with a few restaurants, a Luisa Coffee and a 7-Eleven.

Value 3/5
Ticket prices will cost you NT$290 for adults, NT$260 for students and NT$240 for the matinee. The prices are pretty similar, if not a little higher than you would expect to pay in central Taipei for a movie.

4/5

Churro 3/5 NT$80
Since it’s not too common to find churros, it was churro time for me. Unfortunately it was overcooked and a little hard to eat. I was expecting crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It was more like just crispy.

It was a lot of churro and not the cleanest thing to eat in a dark theatre.

Service 5/5
As we were going to buy the standard ticket for NT$290, the cashier recommended we just buy the combo package that included a drink with out ticket for the same price of NT$290. That was really nice of them to make sure we got the best deal they had available.

Quality 5/5
The seats are very clean and feel like their brand new. Every 2 seats are coupled together so you’ll have an additional armrest along the outside of the seat. The armrests are pretty thick and well padded. As for a movie theatre, the experience was great.

I came here to watch Donnie Yen in Fat Dragon. The movie itself was entertaining and had a lot of great fight scenes. They made each kick and punch seem to have a very intense impact in Donnie’s “fat mode.” If you like a good martial arts movie, Fat Dragon is worth a watch!

Money In Taiwan

Tax Is Included In The Price

All displayed prices in Taiwan are the actual price. Tax is already included and for large purchases, tourists visiting Taiwan can get a 5% Taiwan VAT refund at the airport Tax Refund counter. Some shops offer this service too, but they will require your passport.

Taiwan Is Cash Only (For Most Small Shops)

The primary payment method for all transactions in Taiwan is cash. It’s very rare for small shops to take anything other than cash. It’s more common to see places accept the Taipei Metro Card as payment rather a credit card.

Supermarkets and convenience stores in Taiwan (7-Eleven, Family Mart) do not accept credit cards (at least not American credit cards). You can only make purchases by cash or by using your pre-loaded funds on your EasyCard.

Using Credit Cards in Taiwan

If you want to use your credit card in Taiwan, make sure to check if a restaurant in Taiwan accepts credit card in advance. When a place does accept credit card, it will typically be Visa or Mastercard. It’s extremely rare for a place to accept Discover and American Express.UberEats, HonestBee, Deliveroo and FoodPanda are Taipei Food Delivery Services where you can order food directly to your airbnb or hotel using a credit card.

Exchanging Money in Taiwan

You can exchange money at the airport or any bank in Taiwan. The rates vary from bank to bank and it can be a hassle to get a good rate. For additional information, check out my Exchanging Money In Taiwan Guide.
