hHA KLIA airports best for msians la, we got e-passport , straight away go to the machine then checked out from arrival. no ppl even care how many bottles u holding.

Guys,

If reach taoyuan airport at 6 am in the morning, anything to do before checking in at hotel?

is it recommended just to stay in taipei only throughout the vacation and travel from taipei to each and every place?

or

staying different place when reaching certain destination?

i will be going end of april and will have around 8days. is it sufficient?

taipei can be completed in 4 days for most of the main attractions. the rest of the days can be used to visit other places.

I'm counting the days to go to Taiwan! Can't wait. Adventure! Food Hunting! Shopping with my gf!

To the ladies,

If you like fashion bags, do remember to drop by Skyblue's (天藍小舖 ) shops in Shida Night Market and Shilin Night Market. Not forgetting PG美人网 shop at Raohe Market.

Leggings and pantyhose are also cheap!!! I bought my 180D/200D korean style pantyhose at only NT50 and NT100!

And if you need more luggage bags, you can get the normal ones (no trolley) for NT50 at Danshui Old Street.

IMHO, I think the stuffs at Xi Men Ding are much more expensive than other places (or night markets) in Taipei. If you want clothes, go to WuFenPu (avoid Mondays). If you want shoes and bags, go to the night markets.

Have fun shopping!

I like Shida Night Market and Shilin Night Market the best!

Shida, because they have a lot of small shops that sell hip and cool stuffs.
Shilin, coz it's big and things there are cheap.

Raohe, it's okay, a lot of food, not so much on other things. Though they have the PG 美人网 shop there.

You can also try Keelung Night Market after a trip to Jiu Fen.

added shida and keelung night market thank you so much anymore ? got 9nights there hahaha now only 5 night market or just repeat hmm
