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?

Xi men ding is at gao xiong right? Lazy go hua lian la. got phobia sitting the bus for long hours d @@

Ahaha. sorry la boss last time i go just sit on bus and don need worry anything. Will read the first page again when i confirm going. now just agak agak ask first So i can take train to hua lian huh.. good good.. i am sick of the bus liao

The night market at gao xiong is what name a? i remember got one there. sorry about confusing the names can i go gao xiong by train? or need fly there/ bus?

Nola i maybe going taiwan for a conference...visiting is just another part of the plan lol.

I know about their taxis. starting price already rm7 6 years ago. now should be more pricier. why scold me la pooh pooh?

okok thanks >_<

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.

ahaha yes the taxis are amazing! i didn try the camry before though. only sat their honda city before(6 years old back punya model) . not really keen on taiwan food also la damn oily and fattening one

one way rm40 mar... so both way about rm80 lor? okla not rm100 haha. rm20 can be used for other stuff.

ahhh.. i see.. how long did you take for that? previously i tour whole island use 7 days. and dunno my friends interested in fo guang shan or not.lol

Taiwan power quite low one. For those slightly higher demanding devices you have to find those 3 pin ports. I had to charge my camera in the toilet (using the shavers port) cause the room one not strong enough. Maybe I should have used to tv plug instead. Haha

some do and may charge a small fee.

ok i confirm going taiwan at july liao~~

time to read first page.

any airlines that fly to taiwan besides AA/mas/cathay? thanks.

thanks! i was looking more for a direct flight.. hmm will consider transiting if air asia don't have any good deal by the time i want.. thanks for the info!

How hot will July be ?

looks like july's weather is no different from malaysia :/

Is one day enough to visit Hua Lien?Do i need to stay over night?

What about Sun Moon Lake? Is it advisable to stay one night there? Or around Puli/Taichung?

both don need stay over night? cause dunno wan go back taipei stay or just spend one night there. suggestions welcomed

is it faster to take bus to taoyuan airport or take HSR and take another bus?

This post has been edited by zstan: Apr 8 2012, 12:27 AM

Hi guys,

are there any tourist attractions within walking distance of the taoyuan HSR? i have a few hours to burn there

If i manage to get the deals on agoda and hostel world.. my total accommodation will cost about rm450 at taipei,hua lien, taichung and sun moon lake. is it reasonable?
