Shopping in Wufenpu - not really tat great.D opening price is always TWD380 regardless what pcs u showed them.Yes u buy 3 get TWD1000 but still i find over priced.I asked for 4 pcs at TWD1000 tat fella not willing to sell .This is jz d top m getting.n mostly r fr China. M comparing shopping for cLothes in BKK at d wholesale area n i cud get good quality n cheaper which is made in Thailand.
Even souvernirs r not cheap.
Raohe is a better nite mkt.They hv got food n shopping here.Dun really like ShihLin...hv motorbikes coming in which i dislike cos u got to watch out for them
XiMenDing kind of dead after 11pm. N 11 am some shops r still closed
Those who nid a taxi or private transport. fr airport..can contact Mr Song +886982258878 or+886956258878.Whatsapp him or email accord5868@yahoo.com.tw.Only in chinese.If dunno how use google translate.Fr taoyuan airport to Shihlin @ TWD850 / XMD to Taoyuan @TWD800. This is base on accord car can fit 4 pax plus 3big luggage n 1 small. use it if u travel.in grp and after yr shopping spree .His price is reasonable n public taxi wud probably cost u more than 1k.

But my choice would be Ning Xia (for food only)& Raohe (food & shopping...u can get T shirt from TWD150, shoes @ TWD190. Famous stinky tofu - taste ok @ TWD45, Pork ribs or lamb ribs herbal soup @ TWD70...so so nia) Wu Fen Pu only sells clothing (wholesale) big areas.Close at night. Bargain kow kow some said...as I mentioned 3 pcs for TWD1000 (that's for top pcs only) but some get 4 pcs TWD750 (well I dunno)...all clothes r mostly from China. I din shop for clothes like crazy here as I find it not worth it . I prefer Thailand which is more reasonable Feng Jia is at Tai Chung. If u are there, go ahead. Xi Men Ding is like a commercial district (middle market). Ah Zhong mee suah (not ayster) taste best here. The rest pls dun try...SUCKS!

One day Sun Moon lake then go got Cinjing overnite, next day whole day cinjing then 3rd day Cinjing or SML before head to Taipei. I am looking place to stay at Jiufen, any recomend other than Windsor or SUnroom. Bcoz both no more place. Thx

Are you brave enough to try
A friend just share this, if you are visiting Chiayi (or near Alishan)
qiito.com/place/17105-chiayi-haunted-house-liu-mansion-of-minxiong-民雄鬼屋
apparently this place is really famous among Taiwanese

Hello all,
I am planning to have my honeymoon in Taiwan this October - specifically, Matsu - one of Taiwan's offshore island.
The reason why I choose offshore island. First, to escape all those city lifestyle - eat, walk, shop, noise and the flow of non-stop people. Second, I want a different lifestyle holiday - kinda tired of traveling to city and city. Such as a well-maintained kampong in an island, with amazing cool weather.
I understand there are others Islands such as Penghu (Archipelago, much more bigger than Matsu). I choose Matsu due its its uniqueness and alike Mediterranean.
Please do share with me with your views and opinions.

CAN APPLY ONLINE TQVM You can apply online or apply it on the spot in the taiwan's air port.. Not sure the limit but inside got ntd 100 when apply. If apply online you need to wait them to approve, if apply on the spot, make sure you are not late as the booth closed on 11pm I think.. I didn't apply it because I arrive in taoyuan around 12am due to delay..
