adoi zstan... you need to revisit 1st age liao haha. Xi Men Ding is just 1 station away from Taipei Main station. Kenot be 350km South of Taipei kua? unless there is another Xi Men Ding there?

Going Huelien is by train lor.. and infact there is a speed express train i.e Taroko express going there (2hrs journey). For me Taroko/ Chin Sui Bay in Hualien is a must liao

Will it be a waste if I go taipei only? I might be heading over to Taiwan but I've already been there 6 years ago and have visited all the tourist spots. Was thinking of doing something different this time. But my friends who are first timers may not agree with me.

There are two places out of Taipei which interests me which peng hu wan and ri yue hu. Are these two places worth the trouble to visit?

It won't be wasting time after 6 years your last visited in Taiwan. There are a lot of changes now. Taipei is like Bangsar and KLCC , Foods there, I still prefer Malaysia foods......and if you do shopping there also will expensive compare to kao xiong , tai zhong and tai nang. Please do research before you travel there,It will take you times for taking transport. If you think to take cab, Please be reminded to ask if they follow the meter. else you will scream of the amount which you think is not far and jam at all. blush.gif

haha yea lo.. by tour is like that~~ >< cause actually i dont like to visit those places =P my purpose is taipei only >.< but no choice~~ haha~~ so i got only 1st half day at xi men ting.. and last day at taipei only T_T~~

Haha, I afraid you will be over exhausted. Please wear sport shop if you really want to walk from day to night.

if for me it wont be a waste~ because i just love taipei~ haha.. i think depends on individual.. it is like if you come to malaysia but you love shopping so you go to kl only.. but didnt go to other places...

@ Zstan .Your head la. Xi Meng Ding at Taipei la. Gao Xiong is very far still. Is like one in top and one in the bottem.

Xi Meng Ting = Penang, Gao Xiong = Johor. Do research first doh.gif

Yaya, everything introduced in Malaysia from Taiwan definitely cheaper than Malaysia. Cuz this is their local products ma. Ya most of the MRT Station Underground, especially the main station which got interchange one got underground mall. Ya, you can consider to get their local brand gadgets such as HTC, Acer and Asus there. Definitely cheaper than Malaysia after Tax Deduction.

How many days you will be staying at there? I love to eat their smoke bacon egg bread very nice and cheap. Don't forget their "Steamed Pork Rice" very nice. thumbup.gif

i miss the steamed pork rice soooooooo much, i ate it for supper almost everyday for the entire week when i was there because my hotel is near to one of the best pork rice stalls in the entire Taipei.

starting price is still twd 70 when i was there last year.
most of their taxi will use meter la, i spent more than 30 days in taiwan last year, taking taxi everyday, none of them never use meter before.
furthermore some of them will have discount after travel for certain distance.
and their taxi so much better than m'sia, toyota wish, camry, corolla.

food in taiwan, not all are nice, but the majority of those which i tried are quite nice.
but i'm not a fussy person, especially with food.

LOL i just saw their website. almost Rm150. still ok la compared to flight. hmmm. so if i take from taipei to tao yuan to tai zhong to tai nan to gao xiong and back to taipei its just rm300. still reasonable to me rather than take bus!

hua lian also can take express train from taiwan... another rm100... so maybe need set aside rm500 for transport!! @_@

and i may be staying at Holiday Inn Hotel East Taipei if the organisers didn con me...110 per night (after splitting with 2 people) ! i guess i will be moving out if i were to extend my stay lol.
