I just came back from Taipei last week. 9 day 8 night trip, i spent roughly RM2700 include of accommodation, food, transport and shopping (min shopping as I'm not a shopper) but my friend did spent almost RM5k because he did a lot of shopping like books, CDs and etc....

So it is depend on yourself, if only sightseeing with minimum shopping RM2500 should be fine.

Anyway not sure about the weather during September, you can google it.

8k to 9k is more than enough...haha....you can buy the whole taipei. Just kidding. If you love Japanese food you will fall in love with Taipei, their japanese raw fish is awesome (fresh and affordable), I ate 7 slice of Black Toro belly for only RM40...my gosh and it is fresh...heavenly! lol....

WOW! Tat's lot...for 2 person we spend RM3500 --- food,hotels & transportation. Shopping is really not cheap in Taiwan especially apparel compare to HK & BKK.So for shopping we din really do much after we went to wufenpu, is nothing to shout abt and all clothes from China.

Another thing sport shoe in Taiwan is much more cheaper than Malaysia, saw a pair of Adidas sport shoe they are selling around TWD3250 and I saw the same shoe in KL cost RM465. I'm so regret I never get the shoe there......

In Taipei lar

Reaching taoyuan international airport at 10.25pm. Any recommendations on where to stay ? Any late check in hotels with reasonable prices and also what transport to use?

Mine is 3rd July. But apparently in Taipei, the earthquake was a magnitude of 2, which can't be felt. Which hotel do you plan to stay since reaching so late? Hmm. And what transport?
