Hi guys/gals, need some help here.

I m going to taiwan on 17th June till 25th June. (9 Days 7 Night)

My flight will reach Taoyuan airport around 10.30pm 17th June , few more hours it will be 18th June already.

Is there any nice hotel with good rate to stay at Taipei. I checked the GocityInn, its full , if no choice i have to stay at Xi Men Ding. As i read online, Xi Men Ding night market is closed around 10.30pm, there won't be anything to eat or see when i reach there.
So i would really like to stay at hotel near the Taipei Main Station.

I want to go to Taoyuan Window On China themepark the next day when i reach Taipei. Wondering, how to manage all those hotel booking as i trip is
i got 7 days of travelling there.

Places i will be going is :
- Taipei Area (2~3 days)
- Taoyuan Window On China ( Spend 1 night at the theme park hotel there),
- Keelung area, Yehliu , Jinguashi, Jiufen ( Maybe spend 1 night at the jiufen inn or B&B , i saw the pics its very nice)


Now the big problem is; should i reserve 7 Night at Taipei / Xi Men Ding Hotel and travel to the other county of taiwan like Keelung

or

I keep switching hotel after few days..... I m afraid of the inconvenience of carrying luggage and other items if i visit other places and keep switching hotels.


Any nice suggestion from you guys/gals who faced this situation before.

For 7Days..U should reserve 1 day to Hualien Taroko.

Xi Meng Ding is not nite market. It's just yuppies shops wth some legal/illegal sellers on bicycle-carts beside & on the roads surrounding that area...More shops than those "Chow kwai"

Finally booked hotel

For the Hualien , Taroko area , roughly how much is the transport fee and entrance?

That's the origin point of that train number. So long at the website you choose Taipei, they will quote you the correct fare from Taipei to Hualien. Cannot board at any point, coz ticket will print as from Taipei and not Shulin for 1069 coz you chose Taipei. The fare is different from different stations.

Tarako no need entrance fee one.

The only expense (excluding food and shopping, if any) is your tour which is either those day tour group by bus (approx NT700 to NT750/pax) or your hired cab, which can range from NT2,200 to NT3,500 depending on where you found the driver/places you want to go.

I stayed all days in Taipei and no problem with that coz travelling in Taiwan is so convenient. I lazy to pack and unpack coz got old folks and toddler in my group of 6. The express train from Taipei to Hualien is NTD794 return for adult when I went in early April 2010.

Don't think you can fit the dolphin tour and tarako in one day for 28th June.

there are many hotel near the Taipei Main Station, like cityinn , he jia huan etc depend on your demand, it is convenient when travel around taipei city and get a hotel near the train station.

(Keelung area, Yehliu) one area , (Jinguashi, Jiufen) another area , you wont have time to travel both in same day, only can choose one of it.

if choose (Keelung area, Yehliu) , can go 渔人码头also, nearby, can travel back taipei city for accomodation by 捷运

if choose (Jinguashi, Jiufen) , better get a 民宿 in jiufen, cheap & nice ^^

1 day to Hualien Taroko ？ just the transportation would waste you half day to go there . . . . . better get at lease 2 days or 3days if you want a full trip to there. Nice place, highly advisable to choose this place. accommodation cheap also.

me booked taipeihostel for all my 6days trip.

hope the location convenience for me.

me priority for this trip is to makan, some sight seeing and little bit of shopping...can anyone help suggest?

btw, there's a catch, my wife she just pregnant for 17weeks on that period (6/6 till 12/6) dun think walk too much will be suitable for her...

Added on May 20, 2010, 2:11 pmThe Shangdao MRT station is just within 200M out from the hostel. But for food surrounding the hostel abit difficult. U have to walk further on the opposite side ~ Mc D area & further at the back lane for food. Otherwise, just take the MRT every nite to Xi Meng Ding..haha only 2 stations away..

Hi guys/gals, me again ahahaha.


Any1 here know the way to TaoYuan Window On China Theme Park?

I saw on some forum , there are 2 ways:


First Option: Board the MRT train to Jing-an MRT Station and transfer to the bus outside Jing-an MRT Station (last pick-up stop). The same bus departing Songshan Airport will stop at Jing-an MRT Station for pick-ups. Fare: NT$220 (return) Travel time: About 1 hr


Second Option: Board railway trains from Taipei to Jhongli (also spelled Chungli).

At the front of Jhongli Railway Station (中坜火车站), board Hsinchu buses direct to Window On China. Purchase bus ticket from the ticket machine placed outside the bus station office. Fare: NT$49 Travel time: About 50 mins. Bus frequency: Every 30 mins


I will be staying at Xi Men Ding area. Which way is cost efficient or convenient for me. Another thing confusion for me is the transport in taiwan.

They got TRA, MRT/TRTS , train, railway...... o_0 many different lines.

Added on May 20, 2010, 9:35 pmHi make87, i have taken your suggestion into consideration.

I have booked 1 night 民宿 stay at Jiufen, i wanna see the wonderful night view there.

So 1 day is for Jinguashi (morning - afternoon) + Jiufen ( Afternoon - overnight).

The next morning, i want to go to Keelung - Yehliu area and Danshui 渔人码头 , is Jiufen nearby those area after i have stayed a night at Jiufen?

Added on May 20, 2010, 9:37 pmTaroko gorge is a nice place, but it kind of eats up a lot of time and money alone for visiting there. i m still considering, low on budget x_x

Wanna update some info here:

I just redempted some nice item at Wisma Goldhill, Jln Raja Chulan.


For people travelling to Taiwan within June , they have a Promotion, they gave either :

Easy Card NT50

or

Theme Park Entrance Ticket for all the theme park in Taiwan ( Yes, Including Window On China, for Doraemon)<--- more worth than the easy card.


The Window On China Theme Park showcasing doraemon stuff will last till January 2011, so better go there to see it within this year.
