We travel so far only to see this? This is the Tarako National Park? I wonder if they were rushing?


Cing Jing is another place, though like our very own Cameron or Fraser, but is quite nice. There are sheep here. Nice break for us who were exhausted due to the long travelling time from Taipei to KaohSiong for 2 days (plus a bad day yesterday due to bus breakdown and had to wait 3hours under very hot weather). Rooms are very very nice is another plus.

eh they have a One Piece theme park in taiwan? Where is it and how much per entry? Any website?

i tried to google but came back no result =(

9 seater van from airport to taipei i got quoted for NTD1200 + NTD200 (late nite surcharge)

Its probably not based on One Piece, but rather the theme that was there when I arrived was based on One Piece.
They are selling lots of One Piece figurines and jigsaw puzzles, and people were buying them like crazy.
Didnt check the pricing though.

want to ask...what other airlines offer cheap tix from kk,sabah to Taipei except AA??
and is end of november and december suitable to go there..my mom say it's cold...not so good

I think only MAS and AA for KK.
So far AA is the cheapest, unless u try KL or S'pore, but if u want to fly this year, I think too late to get cheap tickets.

November is late autumn (avg 21.5 c), December is already winter (avg 17.9 c).
Maybe early November will be quite comfortable.

yeah...will have to book earlier
17C....quiet cold...think my mom was right...cold...not good to walk around and buy stuff
HK also same
there are other airline...HK airline and china airline have fly from kk to tpe
but quiet expensive

December in Taiwan is still mild-lah. I find Cameron Highland colder haha.. I was there Mid Dec 2009, temperature during day time is ~ 18C-27C!! almost similar to CH. during nighttime dropped to 13-17C...also similar to CH but the feeling in CH is much colder...hmnnn probably due to wet cold in CH compare to dry cold in Taiwan haha

17C is very nice weather to walk around. it's better to go during cooler season than hot season. hot season so hot that you don't feel like walking coz you'll get tired very easily and sweat alot. cooler season at least you just need to wear thicker clothes.

i'm hoping it to drop at least below 25C when i go...

Cooler weather, even you walk >5km you will not sweat..You only feel yur leg hurting at the end of the day haha...And 17C is very mild & nice weather...If you can stand Cameron Highalnd, no problem there during December.Jan/Feb probably cold bcos temperature can drop to 10C..That's cold!

very cheap. last time i took s-class from airport - ntd 1100.

How long it took the journey by bus to Ximending....

From Taipei main station, you can actually walk to Ximending not far lah.. only 1 station apart ore ~ 1km + distance away haha

I think should still be ok for November and early December, like in air-cond room.
Except if you are so lucky the weather change suddenly. （eg 寒流）

Walk around ok, but sometimes you will feel colder if there's wind.
Depends on your mom situation.

Buying stuff, you mean clothing? I think mostly winter clothing during this time.

sorry i miss out.. i mean taken bus from taoyuan airport to Taipei main station.

Goto Dansui.
Goto Old walkway shops there. Alot of things to buy as souvenir.

Take the ferry cross to the island there.
Got a popular seafood restaurant there as well.

There is a counter on the far left of the airport arrival common area. You can shop there. Last time I took the non-express bus that stop along the way when ppl flash them. Cost <NT100 I think ~ NT90 nia. and it goes all the way to Sheraton Taipei which is ~ 600m from Taipei Main ..good for me haha bcos my hostel only 400M away from Sheraton Taipei..There are lotsa buses there..the counters similar to those after you arrived at LCCT..they will also shout & call for you wan haha

about an hour.

Can anyone advice what is the timezone in Taiwan? How many hrs different compare Malaysia?

GMT+8 which is same time zone with MALAYSIA.
