yeah a bit rush

alternatively u can take HSR to Taoyuan and take a public bus to the airport

that means i take their mrt to HSR station then from there i can board the bus to the airport?

yes.

can someone comment if my timing will be tight or not? this is what i have detail out:-

day 1
taoyuan - taipei. i stay in ximending. i will arrive taoyuan airport by 10am. i estimate only afternoon time will reach taipei.
basically this 1st day i will just go around ximending, might drop to chiang kai shek memorial, and by evening go to shihlin nightmarket

day 2
morning i use cab to go to yehliu geopark. i target to reach back the taipei main station by afternoon or latest by 1pm. i try avoid public transport/bus coz i wanna save more time as i plan to use TRA to hualien on 2.30pm. this train is "labelled taroko" and it takes only 2hrs ++ instead of the 3hrs train. will reach hualien by 4.30. check in hotel & stay in chisingtang. will go around the beach/sea side. then night go to the tzechiang night market food hunting. might drop by nanbin nightmarket as well if there is time and not tired

day 3 - i use driver to tour on this day
hualien - chingsui cliff - taroko - hehuanshan - cingjing. im not sure how long will it takes to spend time in taroko. and around what time i will reach cingjing. spend a night in cingjing

day 4 - i use driver to tour on this day
cingjing - puli (wine brewery & chocolate factory) - sun moon lake (wenwu temple, peacock farm, ci-en pagoda) stay a night in sun moon lake
dont know if have time to take the boat tour. if not leave it for the next day

day 5
sun moon lake - FACV (at least half day spend here??) - taichung (visit the happy buddha temple if have time) - fengjia nightmarket. stay a night in taichung.

on day 6
by morning i will take HSR back to taipei. i target to arrive taipei before 12 or earlier. after that i will hired a cab to jiufen.
i wanna ask if half day is sufficient for me to cover jiufen/jinguashi/shifen/keelung/miaokou? what time will i arrive back to taipei? by 6 or 7 can make it?
this is a saturday night. i plan to go for a fine dining and have some drinks. might drop by to some pubs/bars/clubs

on day 7
beitou hotspring/danshui/wufenpu/raohe
can i go to hotspring if i drink on my day 6 night? plan to go bars/clubs

on day 8
shopping - taipei101/shin kong mitsukoshi/sogo/hello kitty restaurant/shida nightmarket

on day 9
my flight back msia is 10am
what time should i leave taipei? i will use cab coz i forseen many luggages

Need to take 3 kind of transport only can reach airport??

if like tat rush, other than formosan village (half day) , what else i can do at nite ..

means the next day when i check out only i go to sun moon lake ?

then only back to taipei?

1. take taxi
2. take bus
3. take HSR reach taoyuan HSR station. from the HSR station u need shuttle bus to reach airport

If take option 3, cannotestimate what time can reach airport..am I right?

One of the survey is including getting help in forum. But biggest contribution was from blogs.
I did my research since Jan but on and off lah.
The worst part is I can't read chinese, even bump with informative info..I might not know also.

what else u can do at nite

haha..same same here..u can read other people blogs , normally all in english

mao kong gondola , u can go to taipei zoo as la, is nearby only

then at nite got lot of nite markets ...u only stay in taipei ? or got go to any other places?


when u are heading to taiwan?

Yeah, can only read those english blogs. Haiz..
Icic, maybe can consider. Got panda in Taipei Zoo?

Nope, I'll be going to Hualien first when reach Taiwan...then to Jiufen and my last stop is Taipei City.
Now left itinerary for Taipei City.

yeh liu -jin gua shi gold eco park -jiu fern -kee lung nite market

taipei u go to xi men ding district ..can walk one day there la, so big i guess
zoo there got panda ..the entrance fees is about ntd 60 only if not mistaken

where is the zoo? damn i missed it
but going again end of the year.

taipei zoo ..take mrt can reach liao la

Yeah, done my Jiufen itinerary. Will stay 2 nights day.
Taipei Zoo entrance fee so cheap only? I'll go find out later. Thanks ya.

But the arrangement for my 3 days in Taipei ok ah?

jiu fern no need to stay 2nites wor, 1 nite is enuf liao

have u do the hotel booking?

cz as far as i know jiu fern is a small village only..u may drop by to shi fern (lantern place) ,where u buy a lantern from there ...and lepas on the sky

y u din go to tai chung ?

sun moon lake got go or not?
and dan sui old street , must drop by the lover bridge to see the nice view

tai zhong besides lepas lantern still got what to do? but jiu fen also night time pretty right? im planning to go to jiu fen & 10 fen.. but seems like both places also look nicer if go at night..
