Anyone managed to book tickets to Taiwan through AA's sale? Got mine at RM520+/pax return

Hi peeps,

Will be travelling to Taiwan from 25th Nov to 4th Dec. Appreciate help from forummers here on my intended itinerary:

Day 1 (Sunday – 25 Nov)
Arrival at Taipei late afternoon

To visit the following places:
- Book street
- Eslite
- Camera street
- XMD
- Taipei Main Station (TMS) underground mall

Day 2 (Monday)
Take HSR to Ruifang (Q:Unsure of the price and time)
From Ruifang take the Pingshi line train
Throughout the line there are stops at old village/stations.
Shifen station – shifen waterfall and lantern
Take the train back to Ruifang and board a bus to Jiufen – Hopefully to make it back by 3pm before the shops at Jiufen close (Q: Unsure of the bus)
Sunnyroom BB at NTD2400

Day 3 (Tuesday)
Check out from Jiufen
Jingguashi and golden waterfall then take the bus back to Ruifang
From Ruifang, either by cab/bus to Yehliu Geopark (Queen’s head formation)
After Yeh Liu to Keelung, Nanya Rocks (Q: unsure if we could get public transport as last time it was our hired cabby that took us to this place)
Then take a bus/cab back Ruifang Station and take HSR to Hualien (Q: Unsure of the price. Will it be alright if I were to buy the tickets when I am at Taipei on 25th Nov?)

Many thanks in advance for the inputs!

Haha. Same flight

But so many things still need to be confirmed and deposit to be paid

Why? Bad weather?
