Ok, I will depart to Taiwan on 28 Apr, come back on 6 May. Total 8 nites and 9 days. Need to minus the travel day so it come to 7 days.
I will spend 4 nites at Taipei, from 2-6 May. The balance of the days I need your advice to cover my trip plan.

My target is go Alisan, Sun Moon Lake, Hua Lian and Taichung. Sounds like bit greedy.
So after reach taoyuen on 28 Apr, I will straigh away bullet train to these places then stay and jln jln and move to taipei on 2 May.

room is OK, location wise a bit distance from main attraction spots but still walkable, while the staff services is very good - they provide free shuttle services to and from the MRT station.

Hi hi,

Me now at Starvilla Cinjing. Good place, just went for watch star. The owner guide us to their roof top, using his laser pointer explain what start and how to see start. Lucky me today, saw shooting star biggrin.gif . The owner quite friendly, you can go there and ask for those e-go bus arrangement, he will help to book and pay to him, no worry.

I book for a day trip from Taichung to SML, 3500 NT. I think is standard price. I sit on mazda 5 same as wish. But his car is ford not mazda, according to him. Ford and mazda same.
