May I know what kind of airfare is considered cheap for to and from Taiwan? Is RM1,100 per person for a roundtrip considered cheap? If I delay 4 days, the fare become RM950 per person. Reasonable? The fares quoted include all charges.

What airline??

Hi all,

I'll be going to Sun Moon Lake by taking the railway train to Taichung station and I wanted to take the Taiwan tourist shuttle bus 台灣好行. Can anyone tell me how or where can I buy the bus ticket? For return tickets?
Is it possible to purchase on the bus or at the Taichung station?
I've been to their website and can't seem to find the info and I don't read chinese.
Please advise, thanks.

At Taichung, there is a Nantou bus which go straight to Sun Moon Lake.... U can use yr easycard to tap.... Is at the Exit 5.....

Qingjing is not that interesting? Wulai seems like a nice place, will consider.
I plan to take HSR from Taipei to Kaohsiung (it saves time because the furthest is covered by a very quick train), then work our way up by HSR or bus. When we reach Taichung, then take bus towards the East and then bus back towards Taipei. Since we are trying to see Taiwan, anyhow the money on transport needs to be spent.
One thing I'm still thinking is to reduce a few places to visit as this schedule requires us to be on the move almost every day which would be tiring.
*
It will very tiring and you can put one day for hualien.... Did you check out the THSR is how long duration also any transport for it? Did you check the accommodation?

welll i can suggest that you go from taipei to hua lien to move down to south then back to taichung and lastly back to taipei would be easier and less taxing on travelling

Yes, actually i think he will be better if move from taipei to hualien then to taichung then to kaoshiung and went to taipei since kaoshiung train to taipei is direct and shorter distance.... if not mistaken....

Hi, i will be going to Taiwan on the 25th October. May i know what is the best way to go to Jiufen from Taipei and how long does it take?

Coz i'm getting confuse as some say can take train to Ruifang station then take the Keelung transit bus and some say

THSR Taipei Station (or TRA Taipei Station) → Taipei MRT Zhongxiao Fuxing Station → Keelung Bus (bound for Jinguashi) to Jiufen (Jioufen)

So i'm not sure which 1 is correct.

Please advice  notworthy.gif

Hi,

Both also can... It just matter of time and money... If u take train to ruifang then take keelung bus, it cost u more in term of money but less time.... If ruifang to Jiufen is around half an hour.... But if from zhongxiao fuxing station to Jiufen it need around an hour plus and it was cheaper......

Hello all, any guide for travelling on a budget?

I like to go for the food & abit of shopping for clothes, etc. Actually I book via airasia just go for 4 days only, then later decide to extend so 9 days total (and cost me rm380 extra to change).. aiyo, heartpain my money cincai fly out ~~

Is the 101 tower worth seeing? my taiwan fren say our klcc more impressive la, and ximending nothing special can skip. My plan (roughly) is go jiufeng first, stay 1-2days then go Hulian, then go taipei n finish up last day in Taoyuan.

Would appreciate suggestions on how I can make the most of my taiwan trip as I doubt I will have a chance to visit again lah
*
Is same thing and I went to taipei 101 twice and kl tower.... It same as kl tower (perhaps they say klcc better cos u can walk out while at taipei 101, u not able to walk out everytime...) have to try luck... u will have to visit again as 9days where enough to cover all main spot of taiwan... Last time i had relax trip and need 7days for taipei....
