QUOTE(jialiang90 @ Aug 30 2012, 08:19 PM) hi, me and my brother decided to go on a trip in taiwan but we have no idea which part of taiwan we should go. hope some1 is able to give us some guide here. our budget is around myr2000-2500 for 2 person (includes everything such as eating, accommodation, flight). below are our preferences: - night markets / market place whole day - food to explore - countryside - preferable near beach - night clubs for drinking - other add-hoc activities such as vege plantation etc... suggestions and advices are most appreciated Have you really read 1st page or not? Most of the places & link to ithers blogs/ travelogues are there for you to choose..  |

QUOTE(Eu.Gene @ Sep 1 2012, 11:59 AM) ya 1 day... then how much roughly it should be for 1 day?  Start early.. I took the Taroko Express from Taipei to Hualien and reaching there ~ 10:30am.. Just negotiate wth any yellow cab outside the stan for one day (Actually more like ~ 4 hrs) trip to taroko. For me I asked for extra asking him to bring me to Chin Sui cliff area.. and back to Hualien stn ~ 4:30pm & back to taipei wth slow train by 9pm  .. Daily taxi rate in 2009 - NT$1800 + another NT400 to bring me to Chin Sui Cliff This post has been edited by stimix: Sep 1 2012, 12:49 PM |

QUOTE(luvjim @ Sep 4 2012, 12:04 PM) Want to ask, if I'm going beginning of May next year...how early should I book my accommodation and those transports ticket? Most of the time I start to plan my trip 'very' early...so can avoid those hassles or whatever can happen if plan last minute.  The most important is to get the air ticket. That can be 9mth to a year before time for those wanna grab the cheapest options offer by any budget or even full fledge airlines.. Thereafter ~ 2mths -1mth b4 the trip start researching & planning for accomodation. I normally do this 1mth b4 |

QUOTE(iceiscool @ Nov 28 2012, 09:03 AM) Thanks for the info. I plan to change RM15K to Taiwan dollar. From the calculation I may save around RM200+ if change USD to NTD at airport according the current rate.If the operation hour do not permit, so no choice. Wah, are you staying there for 1 months? RM15K is a lot of Money bringing to Taiwan. BTW, the cost of living in Taipei is just like KL. Unless you intended to buy lotsa things or souvenirs, or stayimg there for >1mth..no need so much going there |

QUOTE(eligible @ Dec 11 2012, 12:59 PM) as title. any company or place i can do so? I plan to have a trip to Taiwan 28jan - 8 March. I heard from relative there is a place can buy one SET. of ticket + visa + insurance. or I need to do it separately?  To Taiwan - No need VISA-lah. + just buy air ticket online (Either Air Asia, MAS, EVA air & etc) and you are good flying there.. just make sure your passport validity within 6 mth. Insurance part, either you buy thru those airlines or you can buy yourselves or you dun buy at all (just like me) also can |

Thanks Check 1st page 1st and there are itineries links too. Their metro is super efficient. So no worries going via subways around Taipei or if you want to go far can try their bullet train to South or speed train (Taroko Express to Hualien) |

QUOTE(platingirl @ Jan 15 2013, 10:24 PM) Thanks SmuffyJ, Stimix. Forgot to mention $1,100 is include seat selection and luggage. Wow, MAS Rm780 return is cheap. But when was that ? One thing i noticed is that this year AA air tickets is kinda expensive. Some say is because of the rising fuel prices. Moreover, December is super peak period .. can still get Rm600-Rm700 for travel during this period ? TIA. Hehe- 2009. - Infact yeah Mid Dec 2009. Bought during MAS sales ~4 mths earlier. Aftwer bought that ticket, AAX also started their promo sales and I saw RM300 return ticket damnit..  BTW, on last mth AAX sales, I managed to get Sydney ticket at RM800/pax  //So RM1100 to Taipei for sure too expensive dy. This post has been edited by stimix: Jan 15 2013, 10:36 PM |

Taiwan winter is very mild and almost similar to Hong Kong area. You think it will snow at 10-14C during winter Anyway, there are snow topped mountains in Taiwan.. and one of the easiest is mt Hehuan shan that can be reached via Taichung or even Huelien side. These mountain range al above 3000M.. for sure will snow https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Post...7737769&st=2000This post has been edited by stimix: Jan 21 2013, 07:44 PM |
