Should I go Yehliu after I drop my luggage at Taipei Main Station on 2/5?
*
Jiu fen at night n morning different one leh. At night most shops are closed. Just enjoy the night scenery n enjoy tea. Afternoon the streets will be bustling with activities.

Sorry what's your plan for 2/5 again? Using phone reply >.<

Ya I know is different. That's why want stay a night there lo.
Here's the initial plan..really don't know which one go first...

2/5 - Hualien > Taipei Main Station store luggage > Jiufen
3/5 - Jiufen > Shifen > Yehliu > Keelung

I'm thinking 2/5 plan remain. ..then
3/5 - Jiufen > Shifen > Keelung
4/5 - Yehliu > then don't know go where haha
5/5 - Beitou > Danshui

What you think? Better?
*
ohhh. then u better don store luggage at taipei main station lor. because the train moves from taipei main station > kee lung > rui fang (jiu fen) > yilan line > hualien. it will be a hassle to travel back and forth.

for your 4/5 maybe you can head here if you really don't know what to do. it's a really nice place but not popular to malaysians. otherwise can always visit taipei 101: http://zhishan90.blogspot.com/2012/07/taiw...-expo-park.html

Erm....this taipei main station > kee lung > rui fang (jiu fen) > yilan line > hualien is the Taroko Express train?
If back and forth... taipei main station > kee lung > rui fang (jiu fen)... how long does it take?
I don't think want to carry the luggage. sweat.gif
Yea, will visit Taipei 101 definitely. If don't go, doesn't feel like been to Taiwan before. tongue.gif
I have few places wanted to go such as, the Taipei Zoo, Seashell Temple, Shenkeng Tofu street and Shihlin NM. laugh.gif
*

Hey guys do you think is possible to do Xin Beitou hot spring - Thermal valley - Yangmingsha National Park - Fisherman's wraf + lover's bridge - Danshui in just 1 day

or better just do Xin Beitou Hot Spring - Thermal Valley - Yangmingsha National Park - some night market at town ? and danshui - Fisherman's waf in another day ?
*
yes its possible unless you really plan to hike the national park and soak in the hot springs for a long long time.

Hi to all the sifu,

If I wanna go to Alisan, is it recommend to book a room to stay there for 2nites and  back to Taipei again?

I have 9days trip in Taiwan

Pls enlighten me, as I need to know the recommend directions to Alisan

I nvr  been to Taiwan b4 .

thanks
*
yes it is recommended. Alisan is located around the southern region of taiwan. taipei is at the north

QUOTE(Kyl3 @ Feb 4 2013, 12:59 PM)
Is the taiwan expo park worth visiting? Planning to spend half a day there on my coming trip in april.

Hopefully is not too late to get rooms

hi zstan,
let say my flight is in 24Mar til 2Apr,

so is it the recommend that i stay the first 6days in Taipei 1st , then only move to southern, plus alison n chiayi is it nearby

plus from southern to Tao yuan airport is it far?

tx
*
i think you should do alisan and chiayi first since the travelling time involved would be much much more compared to travelling around taipei. Taipei u still can squeeze a few places to visit in one day as long as you have energy.

its pretty far but with bullet train the journey will be about 2-2.5 hours. though its not really cheap though.

well alternatively you can settle down taipei on first day and do some light travelling and then go south early next morning. well u can visit gaoxiong or kending. just have a look at first page or do some googling there should be ample info about where to see.
