From the top walk down without stopping, eating & buying probably 1/2 hr.. But gonna do that..For sure you will stop & window shopping..thus probably 2-3 hrs.

National Palace museum - I think about 4 storey high. But I don't find the artifacts really interesting. Mostly collections of all souvenirs & belongings of Beijing Forbidden City taken away by Taiwan govt after they ran away to Taiwan from Beijing

how long to jiufen o???

Jiufen is about 45-1hr bus from Keelung Train station and from Taipei main station to Keelung train station is about 45min

thanks for the info.... it so much helpful for me to arrange my trip.....

unless u wan to go Yeliu, i believe that take train to Ruifang is much better, from there the cab / bus ride is juz ard 10-15min to Jiufen.

Hi,

I'm going to Taiwan for 5d4n. I just got the tickets. Any suggestion for my itinerary during that period?
Since only two of us, we plan to stay in budget hotel. And we also plan to use more public transport instead of cab. Any recommendation for our hotel?

Arriving at Taipei: 25th March noon
Departing Taipei: 29th March noon
Thank you.

You can read page 1 on those suggested itineraries, transport, budget hotels & etc

is it 1st time went there??? if so then u can try to visit the places such as taipei 101, jiufen, national museum of taiwan, taiwan storyland... had a nightwalk at their night market.....

is 2nd week of april a good time to visit taiwan in terms of weather? i plan to go on october but my relatives said october is a bad time cos it's cold and always raining so they suggest april. i'm bringing my mom and dad but my relatives wanna tag along.

From the weather chart posted on 1st page,

Avg temp during Oct & Apr nothing diff ~ 24-27C. and both also not cold-lah..Almost similar to KL weather in Jan last mth , where the days we can't see sunlight for days..haha

Infact from the chart, Oct is drier compare wth Apr. BTW, Early winter mth (late Nov- Dec) is actually still mild..temp avg 18-22C.

Even their peak winter avg temp only 10C-15C..

If for me, I will go there during late Dec when Temp ~ 15C-18C. nice weather. not so cold

thanks for the reply..

then means it is better to go in october. if i'm not mistaken, april is peak right? go during october is cheaper?

my friend also recommend to go during december. but old people dont like the cold weather.

Taiwan winter very mild-lah..I went during mid Dec 2008. To my suprise, Hong Kong which is on lower latitude even colder durimg same period!

On avg mid Dec temp ~18C-24C..just like Cameron Highland. Infact sometime CH even colder than this

January - February are the coldest months. When i was in Taipei between 10 January 2011 - 14 January 2011, the temperature at night/morning was only 9°C. Afternoon wasn't any better either at around only 12°C. And the worst of all, it was so windy and it was raining for the whole 5 days during my trip. Guys do not like to carry an umbrella with them but you have no choice in Taipei during this period

This year & end last year was exceptional year for northern hemispere..Even when I was in Seoul during Mid Dec, avg temp suppose to be 5C till minus 5C but when I was there dropped to minus 5 till minus 12C!.. Avg Jan in Taipei should be 10C-15C wor

Even now the weather also keep dropping? If now Taiwan weather will be cold?? Those night market, will they sell shirt that can be worn in Malaysia or is winter? So that I no need bring so much clothing went there... Thanks for advise...
