including visiting inside woh...? enough time ar?

Depending on how long you wanna visit the memorial. Those places like Ximending red house, & Shihlin Nite market can do it at nite mah haha..So Morning go round Taipei lor..proabbaly start wth Longshan Temple & Bopoliao & thereafter to CKS, Sun Yat Sen & Taipei 101 b4 going to Ximending & Shihlin.

which of them more worth to spend time in? i heard the national palace museum is very big

National Palace museum actually very boring. I would rathe skip this than others. Just collections of Beijing Forbidden City personal belongings, gifts from Foreign envoys from the past Emperors.

It's huge but boring. Not really history museum at all.. I you visited Perdana Gallery in Langkawi i.e the collections of personal gifts from ppl to Tun mahathir..Well, something likedat

Do not expect the palace museum to be like the one in Beijing. This one is much smaller and unless you are really interested in Chinese history, I think 2 hours should be enough to cover the place.

thanks stimix and capr1corn....then maybe just spending an hour or 2. got free guided tour...


another day i'm planning to cover wulai, bitan (morning), miniature museum, taipei 101 (afternoon), maokong (evening) and linjiang st. night market....izit possible? wulai/bitan and maokong are consider out of city areas....

going to taiwan next week, so exciting about this!

Miniature museum is not really that amazing..went there ,been there..but you can collect all those amazing "CHOP"..remember to bring a book or a plain paper inside and collect the "chop"..wulai just a hot spring..if you are aiming for the public one..kinda gross..all those aunty uncle at there..haha..well..just my opinion....mao kong gondola is just another TEA exhibition I would said..haha

Any one can help to recommend the best amusement park & cow farm in Taiwan?
Is that the amusement park like what we have here in Genting/Lost World of Tambun?

sounds like all 3 places also not worth going private hotspring kinda pricey be it in beitou or wulai.

well..i went for the hotspring ..i went for a private one..around RM 25 per person..so called promotion by the local shop..haha

Yeah ,gotta agree with you on that..not really worth visitting those place..because i went all of it..haha..and shilin night market is just way overated ..the food is not that good

in wulai? or beitou? 25 bucks is reasonable lah.....i saw some charging 100 over bucks for 2 hours.

There's Mayzen: http://www.mayzen.tw/about.php or http://www.mayzen.com.tw/

It's near the tourist centre (the bus stops here), around 100m. A lot of Malaysians stay there.
The room rate NTD$1500 - $2600, with breakfast.

I'm going to Taiwan this October, planning to spend a night at Sun Moon Lake too. Might stay at Laurel Villa / Mayzen.

okie guys i need help...im going to taipei on friday but i need to do some money changing..can anyone tell me wheres the nearest bank to any of the mrt lines around zhong xiao ?? mang i desperately need some changes...im going up from taichung but due to my work i dun have time to banks in my area and my work place dun even have a freaking bank nearby...zzz

i think u should be able to change at the airport...

hmm i dun wish to go that far tho....btw inside big department store have ?

I think bank provide better rate. However, RM won't be interesting in Taiwan, in fact, you lose quite an amount. Do you have USD on hand?

Why you say so far when the 1st place once you touch down is Taipei airport?
The airport money changers (Well more like banks)..offering one of the best rate I ever seen and almost similar rate to those banks in Taipei. i.e almost to market wth additional NT$30 commission on each transaction if I can stil recall.. hmm i dun wish to go that far tho....btw inside big department store have ?

RM is not well traded in both KL & Taipei, so the best if you wanna save ~ RM30-RM40 for every RM1K, change to US$ 1st & thereafter to NTD$ at Taipei airport.. check the example of converting on page 1
