Me and my dear will be visiting Taiwan end of this month for a total of 8 days 7 nights.
Places we plan to visit are Taipei, Qing Jing, Alishan, Kaoshiung, KenDing & Hualien.
Can anybody advice on the best mode of transport to get to each of these locations?
Are buses easily available to get to our next destination at each of these locations?

Thanks in advance!

wow, you sure 8 days enough for all these places? I spend all 5 days in Taipei alone leh.. hehe..

I plan to go Taiwan end of this month also. but havent plan anything yet, may be just sign a package and go. Is a sudden decision
Anyone can share their itenary if go ourself?

Anyone here knows how are the hp service charges for Maxis in Taiwan?
I used mine in HK and there were no roaming issues and the rates were good.
But I just received a whooping RM480++ bill from Maxis for usage in Singapore!!!


Now a bit scared to roam d....

I think it's RM2 per SMS but I'm not sure bout the call rates though.

Wheather are ok in taiwan now. Some days might fall into 6 deg Celcius. My trip will be end of april. Very miss the stinky tofu there...
And must try the bullet train there, although shanghai's one is faster.

Yeah but for me, the train is very fast dy haha
Have yet to try Japan's one .....

I'm in Taiwan until April 10th. Haven't traveled very far outside Taipei yet, but if you're planning to go so many places high speed rail is probably the way to go, you can buy online I think.

Agree that you seem to have a very packed itinerary.

There will be many many concerts in Kenting the first weekend of April e.g. Spring Scream and Spring Wave, so you might want to take them into account.
