Wish to visit Taiwan again this year! Hopefully!

Not sure about the others coz I've never been. I was only there for 5 nights.

I haven't actually been to Keelung, it was on my to-do list but we were too tired that day.

Try googling other night markets and see if it's worth a visit.

For me, I think that Shilin is worth a second visit.

thanks not sure how far is it from taipei main station but should be within 1 hour i guess.

i mean u can have romantic dinner at Tamshui. there are many nice restaurants though the food may be so so





if you just want to see the main attractions then go by tour. if you really want to hike then go your self.

hahaha ya i read ur blog and say the food not nice so i ask around for better one hahaha

eh i just tried one food out of the 100 items in the menu. i might be wrong. this is only one of the restaurants there. if you are looking for really good food here is not the place la. but for candle light dinner here actually quite good leh

i went to cingjing and sun moon lake at the wrong time... 2 days when i was there, heavy fog and raining... T_T

hi sifu,

Any nice place to visit there

and how much is the travelling fees by public transport

how to go there ?

thnks

Hi, has anyone try using local ATM to withdraw money in Taiwan? Wonder how is the conversion rate for it?

Comments on my 6d5n itinerary?

D1
Taoyuan airport
Fengjia area and nightmarket

D2
Cingjing farm

D3
Cingjing
Will try to go for any night market nearby my hotel in Taipei

D4
Jiufen, yehliu, keelong NM, shifen (maybe) with a driver

D5
Taipei expo
Dansui
Beitou
Wufenpu

D6
Taiwan 101 area
Flight back to KL

Withdraw NTD 4000 = RM432.14 (Maybank)

Cingjing to Taipei by Bus need 3-4hrs. Taipei to Jiufen 1hours...you sure you can make it? haha...

For jiufen trip i'll hire a driver. As for cingjing to taipei, i might skip the night activities at night if is too late.

Maybe can try Taipei HSR to Taichung
bout NTD 700, if do early online booking, got discount.... cant remember 20% or 30%

hhahaha okok will check out the restaurant also and yes we want a candle light dinner

wah so expensive i got latest rate from Pavillion money changer 10.7, last month is 10.65 but i din change


some top up question;

Shifen & Pinxi <-- where exactly is the lanten place ?

Bali district is fisherman's wrhat ?

and lastly a trip to Yeliu Geopark - Jifen - (either pinxi or shifen which ever is the lanten area) - keelung night market - Taipei

Should we hire a cab or go by ourself since the distance might be a bit far ? fren intro me 1 cab driver charge Rm600 full day no overcharges worth it ? because own transport not even Rm100 i think for two persson but the amount of time to exchange mrt and then bus is the concern...

hi, just wanna know when is your date of transactions and is the withdrawal better than money changers during that time?

go pavillion now 4000NT = RM428Rm only

how much roughly do i need to budget for a 8D/8N trip?
roughly a budget range?

The lantern place is at Shifen.

I would take public transport (assuming no child or senior citizens travelling with you).

Taipei - Yehliu - Jiufen - Shifen - Keelung Night Market - Taipei

If there are delays, you may only missed Keelung Night Market, but it's okay coz there are many other night markets in Taipei.

I used only RM1000 for my 6D/5N trip.
