Serious...just walk under the rain...remember bring umbrella tongue.gif

If depart from LCCT at 10am and reach Taoyuan Airport at 3pm.
You think I manage to board Taroko Express train by 4.40pm??
*
no way man. unless u straight board taxi and go to station to prepare to board the 4.40 express train

u need allocate time for:-

immigration clearance
luggage collection
change money (if u want)
youth card application (if u want)
get sim card (if u want)
travelling time from taoyuan to taipei (if u go to taipei)

let say i will be away to tai chung for 2days..can I keep the luggage in the taipei hotel which i will be staying after i back from tai chung ?

any idea is it safe or not?

do u mean u are still renting the room after u left to taichung?

guys....me and my friends plan to stay in taipei for whole trip(1 week)

do you think is a waste?
*
it depends on what u wanna see and do actually.
if u are only aiming for shopping and food hunting or clubbing. whole week in taipei is good enough.
if u want to venture more about taiwan. i suggest u gotta go to other places like; taichung, sun moon lake, hualien
just my opinion only biggrin.gif

can complete the following route in 1 day?

yeh liu - jiu fen - shi fen - kee lung

by public transport, train + bus? or need to get a car?
*
yeh liu and jiufen is both different places. u can complete with public transport bus (need change bus) in one whole day. but it will be a bit rush and u need to plan ur time accordingly

i prefer to have the following:-

yeh liu + other places in taipei
jiufen/jinguashi/shifen

this is based on my research only. after my trip i can give more opinions tongue.gif

oh ya true.. but they are not so far apart right? im planning to leave taipei hostel at around 7am in the morning.. 

when is your trip?~
*
taipei - yehliu distance is around 1hr ride with car. with bus is 1.5hr if not mistaken
back and forth u wasted 2hr already. in yeh liu geopark itself i think u need spend around 1.5-2hrs.
total is already 4hrs estimated.

since u mention u leave early. 7am. then i think u shd have enough time. but will be tiring? no? so early wake le. hehehe

my trip end of the month. 22/4 - 30/4

ohh~ hmm true maybe the park jst stop look go? around 1 hour will leave? because actually i dont really like to see stones hahaa.. but because it is famous so.. only i plan to drop by~~

if too rush maybe i just cancel yeh liu.. go to the gold museum, jiu fen, shi fen, kee lung? like that?

err still ok ba~ normally i wake up very early also.. only 1 day wake up at 7am.. other days also 9.. and 1 day maybe 10am..

for kee lung i see some people say after they go dan sui, they will go to kee lung? because i will be visiting dan sui at night too.. maybe after the dan sui i go to kee lung.. so this jiu fen n shi fen no need so rush?
*
stop look go might as well dont waste ur time going there as its not really convenient and near. hehehe

keelung...and danshui..both is separate places...

tai chung train station is it nearby the hsr tai zhung

cz my initial plan is to buy hsr taipei to hsr tai chung and from there i will go to lavendar farm (in xin she)

but i found out there is a bus 6580 from tai chung train station to xin she sweat.gif
*
taichung hsr and tra is not nearby. the nearest station to hsr is xinwuri station (see from google maps)

to get to tra station i think u need:-
xinwuri - wuri - daqing - taichung station

taichung hsr to xinwuri tra staion is within walking distances only.

this is based on map la. hehehe tongue.gif

i think railway is referring to train right?

i only know

1. hsr = high speed railway
2. tra = train railway administration
3. mrt = mass rapid transit

Back from Taipei. Slight rain everyday but for a short period. So just bring a small umbrella wherever you go. Wufenpu was awesome for my gf as she bought like dont know how many of kg baju, accessories and facial mask(in ximending). Lucky never over weight for our luggage. Hahah
*
other than wufenpu? any other nice nightmarket also?

how about shihlin, raohe, shida, keelung,...etc...

Has anyone stayed around Shilin Night Market before?

I've stayed at XMD this March, for my first visit to Taipei.

But somehow I think that staying at Shilin Night Market for my next visit would be better, can shop till late at night and easy to tapau food back to hotel.

What do you think?
*
which place is best for shopping? shihlin night market?

Hey, when are you going to Hualien? How much you got?
If going on 30th, is it have to start book on 17th? 2 weeks advance ?

Sorry, I have another question..
You taking Taroko Express from Taipei Main Station? How do you plan to go from airport to Taipei Main Station?
*
Hi!
im going to hualien on 23/4. original nt$440. book online got 5% disc. i am not sure hows the bank charges for forex. but i book online to avoid no tickets on that day. tongue.gif
yes. according to website its 2 weeks in advance u can book the tickets base on the departure date. once u see the date available u can straight book already.

yes. im taking the taroko express (tze chiang) tra from taipei main station.

i arrive taoyuan airport on 22/4. i might be taking bus or take hsr to reach taipei main station. to take hsr u need take u-bus shuttle service to reach taoyuan hsr station first.

Icic. I'm going on30th. Actually I already saw the ticket on 30th but is via mountain line. I wonder if later there has more train via the 'normal line'?
The train you booked is via which line??

Okok, I also thinking taking hsr..wanna try the bullet train...otherwise no chance to try on this trip.

How long you need to wait for the Taroko train?

Coz for me I'll be arrive around 3pm. But the Taroko train is at 4.40 or 5.40pm. 
Should I just take 5.40pm? But then need to wait about 2 hours liow.
