Bade's Budget KTV and the Guangfeng Strip: Three Ways to Sing at NT$300, 600 and 1,000

QUICK ANSWER:Bade has exactly two self-service KTVs: Bade Pingjia KTV at 869-1 Xinxing Rd and Shiwai Singing at 362 Guangfu Rd, roughly NT$100–200 per person per hour, posted prices rule. NT$300 sings only, NT$600 adds skewers and beer, NT$1,000 opens at a bistro and closes with massage — all within a ten-minute drive of Guangfeng SquarePlus. Call ahead on Friday and Saturday nights.

Bade’s singing problem isn’t a lack of rooms. It’s that most people don’t know Bade has rooms.

Cashbox and Holiday sit by Taoyuan Station, so Bade locals assume a fifteen-minute drive is the price of a private room. It isn’t. Bade has two self-service KTVs of its own, a notch cheaper than the chains, both inside a ten-minute drive of Guangfeng SquarePlus. This piece lays out three plans by budget — NT$300, 600 and 1,000 — pick one and follow it.

First, what the two places actually are

The Bade KTV list is two names, both self-service, none of the chain-style room-fee arithmetic.

八德平價KTV (Bade Pingjia KTV) is at 869-1 Xinxing Rd, rated 4.2 with eighty-odd reviews, rooms billed by time, outside food allowed, parking solved on the kerb out front. 世外歌唱 (Shiwai Singing) is at 362 Guangfu Rd, sixty-odd reviews, closer to Guangfeng — straight down Guangfu Rd, no turns.

Both run at a going rate of roughly NT$100–200 per person per hour: lowest on weekday afternoons, highest on Friday and Saturday nights, drinks extra. Posted prices rule; a phone call before you leave beats anything online.

Hostess-style KTV isn’t in this article. Bade doesn’t have any.

NT$300: sing, don’t eat

At three hundred there’s one plan: straight into the room, two hours of singing, drinks from the convenience store.

On a weekday night at Bade Pingjia KTV, two people spend under NT$200 each for two hours. Students, or anyone who got off work and wants to shout without spending — this tier fits.

Don’t run the NT$300 plan on a Saturday night. When the rooms are full the clock is watched tightly; at the hour mark you’re deciding whether to extend, and the pressure works against you.

NT$600: singing with skewers

Three hundred more and the evening is complete.

Eat first. 慕酌-八德人氣串燒 (Muzhuo skewers) at 818 Jieshou Rd Sec. 1 is rated five stars with thirty-odd reviews; two people order eight to ten skewers and a beer for about NT$300 a head and leave full. Not in the mood for skewers, 星空啤酒屋 (Xingkong Beer House) at 149 Rongxing S. Rd is the stir-fry-and-beer route, five hundred-odd reviews, big portions, plenty of tables, easier for a group to get seated.

Then down Guangfu Rd, where 世外歌唱 takes the second half — in at nine, out at eleven, just right.

One reminder: this tier involves alcohol. Bade has no MRT, buses thin out after ten, so the cab or designated-driver money goes into the six hundred up front.

NT$1,000: open at a bistro, close with massage

At this tier the singing goes in the middle, with a leg added on either side.

Open at The Healer 餐酒館 (The Healer bistro) at 299 Guangfu Rd, two hundred-odd reviews and a perfect score, cocktails and late food both on the menu; or 野斯複合式運動餐酒館 (Yesi sports bistro) at 658 Jieshou Rd Sec. 1, a hundred-odd reviews at 4.8, with match broadcasts — watch a quarter, then go sing. NT$400 to 600 a head, two drinks at most.

Singing in the middle, either room.

Massage to close. From the Bade massage list, the ones nearest Guangfeng: 一足松健康會館 (Yizusong Health Club) at 880 Jieshou Rd Sec. 1, 3F, and 馥妍流香氛舒活館(桃園八德館) SPA (Fuyanliu Aroma Spa) at No. 942, both walkable; 妙手經絡按摩(八德店) (Miaoshou Meridian Massage, Bade) at 25 Fuguo St is rated 4.9 with fifty-odd reviews and works on the firm side. Budget around NT$600 for a forty-minute foot session, and phone first late at night to check they’re still taking walk-ins — don’t just turn up.

Guangfeng SquarePlus itself is not the night

Guangfeng SquarePlus at 728 Jieshou Rd Sec. 1 is Bade’s weekday-evening centre of gravity: mall plus cinema, dinner and a film into the evening, no problem.

But it’s a mall, not nightlife. After ten the shops close in sequence and the plaza goes quiet fast. Use it as a meeting point and a place to park; the real night is on the streets around it.

On weekend evenings the Guangfeng car park queues — after half past six expect ten minutes or more, or park on the fringe and walk in.

When not to come

Nine to eleven on Friday and Saturday nights is peak at both KTVs; without a booked room don’t charge in, eat first and wait.

On Xingren Garden Night Market days, the whole district’s traffic funnels toward the market and Guangfu Rd and Jieshou Rd Sec. 1 both crawl — either build the market into the plan or avoid the day. The market itself is covered in the Xingren Night Market guide.

If you want the chain experience — big rooms and a drinks bar — the Taoyuan KTV round-up suits you better, fifteen minutes by car.

For the district as a whole, coordinates are in the Bade guide; the full list of bistros and beer houses is in Bade bars and bistros.
