Huh? Compulsory meh?

As long as you can speak Mandarin is ok d. They have English signboards, English speaking workers (especially tourist related industry) and basically they are well prepared to entertain non-chinese tourists lo...

*in my humble opinion*

Sun Moon Lake & FengJia night market~

if wan to overnight in taichung, can go to fengjia night market~

beside/nearby Wu Fen Pu, there's a night market.. I think is RaoHe, so after Wu Fen Pu, at night go to night market..

depends on wat time u reach hualien.
better go taroko in the morning till noon.

I never went to Chin Jing, but mostly ppl will overnite at this farm rite? If just drop by, i think quite rush eh. How long is tis farm from taroko?
i never been to taroko but mostly itineraries i've read, mostly ppl travel back to taipei after taroko. reach taipei evening time.

i think it's better to book earlier/beforehand.

i went for my free n easy trip to taiwan also without booking our accomodation early. regretted it coz we spent too much time looking for hotels.
and since we wasted so much time plus kancheong cant find any place to sleep, we cincai jz book a room when we found one in kaoshiung. turns out the place very run down. the pro is that it costed us rm70 per nite.
and in taipei, we called up few hostel/min-su, mostly they only accept reservation. they dun accept walk-in. end up renting an apartment that a fren's fren of mine were staying. that place could easily burnt our pocket (coz furnish with dishwasher, washing machine) but lucky they were having promo.
in taichung even worst, walk the whole fengjia market but cant find any hostel! the locals were giving us diff diff directions ended up in a 4 stars hotel the most expensive hotel i had spend throughout my trip. but comfortable.. sleep until almost cant make it to the free breakfast.

so my advice is still - book your accomodation earlier/beforehand!

I went for 10 days also feel not enough. but as like stimix say I get homesick towards the end of my trip. maybe coz i went with colleague instead of friends/family.

cheap le. AA? travelling period april - june?

are you referring to the theme park?

if got bring small kid can consider. if not, it is just a theme park/zoo.

maybe because i am not a theme park person. so, i feel it was a waste of time.

i feel more like our sunway. got wet and dry park, then got small zoo with orang utan and tigers.

nvr been to any disneyland yet so cant compare.

i prefer 小人國 more.

went by tour. it is located in taoyuan. i feel quite far from public transport.
