For hostels, try Hostelworld or Hostelbookers.

Alternatively, give Couchsurfing a shot, I highly recommend it.

You can book EVA tickets online, or shop around for any special offers. Dunno about the different classes, just choose the cheapest one la haha.

i booked my tickets on eva website, Rm 1550 for return ticket per person. I booked 2 days before my departure .. hehe....

3 weeks earlier when i check the ticket price, it's Rm 2K, but 2 days before my departure date, it's Rm 1550...

EVA air
EVA AIRWAY-E TICKET TAIPEI TW US$302.72 RM1,120.58
[booked online]

and during MATA fair, the cheapest i get is from mayflower agency, selling at RM1251.00. So much in diff. Better booked yourself online.

Guys , this coming july , maybe im going to taiwan. any place to recommend ? and also is it cheaper if i buy electronic like laptop or camera over there?

thanxx in advance!

I went to taiwan on 2008 Jan during CNY..flight ticket is RM1.3k two way cz i do transit in HK and spend 4days there. I use Dragon Air..But i'm iddn't spend much cz my bf's mom is taiwanrian..I spend 15days in taiwan but still feel it's not enough!!There is too much attration to visit!!

the most important things to try is "Mua Ji" ..but i dont know where to buy is the most tasty..Cz it is nearby high way.. And you must go to "Ye nui"..aikss..i dont know how to write in chinese >.< I will update you again with pics....hehe..but one things is..if you want stay hotel you can choose those "motel"..you know wat i mean..it much more cheaper..but it's recommend to guys only

let me search for more pics to share then only share my 15 days experience here..hehe..wait ya~

Which part of taiwan are you going to ?
IT Electronics are fairly same priced over there if you are comparing with local prices =)

Cheers,

if you go to 花莲 （Hualien), which you will if you're heading for Taroko Gorge, you'll see that 曾记 have a practical monopoly on the 麻薯 business, try the fresh hand-made ones, compared to the packaged ones, the difference is heaven and earth haha.

Just came back from free and easy trip to taiwan
been to
places around taipei | Hua Lian | Sun Moon Lake | Alishan

most recomended place would be
Hua Lian -> the 7 star beach there (ride a bike there)
simply awesome

you may pm me, if you need any information

Sorry for tumpang thread. Erm..can i know which month was the best to visit taiwan? Because i plan to visit taiwan in year 2010 , most probably after my SPM...

depends on which season you want to want to be, summer / spring / autumm / winter =)

Nice, Air Asia is flying to Taipei realll sooon

Is a Malaysia Passport holder need a visa to enter Taiwan?

I am malaysian passport holder and I didnt need to apply for a visa when i went to taipei in 2006. So i think d answer is no, malaysians can get free on arrival tourist visa for 30 days or something.

Definitely no visa required. You can stay for up to 30 days, but that is non- extendable.

yes... i went to taiwan recently for a short trip... no visa required for less than 30 days

So january and february is what season? And what is the best season to visit taiwan?

its now available in airasia !

AA fly taipei = from RM101/way only!!!
