wanna ask....kl-taipei via MAS around rm1250 cheap or not wo?

During MAS promo in 2008, I got it for RM780. days later AA also joined the race and my collegie got it for RM350..darn...Found out later, MAS using smaller Boeing 737 whereas AA using wider & bigger A330

Eva Air and China Airlines using A330 can get around that price sometimes too, even when we buy it like one week before.
I will never fly MAS to Taiwan.. as I usually only buy the tickets like 3 or 4 days before, MAS is already terribly expensive then.

anyone back from Taiwan? how's the weather there? i am going next Saturday... would like to check, when shall we reach KLIA for international flight? is it 2 hours or 3 hours before departure time?

Check online realtime weather lah: http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findwe...st?query=taipei

Weather is getting warmer, just reached KL today.
Just hope it won't rain, else it is such a hassle to get around.

If you have checked in on-line, you can reach 1:30 hours before.
If not, better reach at least 2 hours before.

Is this itenary fine?...about half of my group consists of girls so they plan to stay at taipei longer so they can shop...but im a guy and i prefer sight seeing than being in the city.

So what are places that are recommended throughout my 10 days in taiwan? Im thinking of hualien and also hiking a mountain if there's the time...I might be breaking out from the group for a few days. I'd hope to rent a motorbike and travel around, anyone did that before? thx

what is ur budget per day???

if u wanna go hualian, what i can suggest is stay 1 night in 清境 on 14/5 then next morning u can go 合歡山 c sunrise, after that go 太鲁阁 National Park, is like 4-5 hours drive then spend 2D1N night in hualian. the thing is the road from Hehuanshan to Hualian is abit dangerous but the view is gorgeous.
then on the 16/5 u can take the late evening train from Hualian back to Taipei and meet up with ur friends.
The if u wanna do more hiking, u can go 阳明山 (take MRT to 士林 or 剑潭 station there got bus to 阳明山)~

XD

Hi people. I have some question about travelling to Taiwan.

I am wondering how long should I be there. For 8, 9 or 10 days? Is it sufficient to see most of the attraction in Taiwan? I would like to spend most of the time in Taipei. =)

And is there any guesthouse rate less than RM120?

Your help is appreciated. Thanks in advance! =)

If only Taipei, 4nites will do..Even for additional nite, you can goto Taroko Gorge/Huelian dy.

If you wanna do whole Taiwan, probably 8-10days. can cover..Kaoshiong, Alishan, Taiching-Hehjuan shan dy.

On 1st pg, I hv listed the budget guesthouse dy..I stayed in Taipei Hostel. RM30/pax/nite..no need till RM120.

oh . i plan to go to kao shiung and almost whole taiwan too. =) thanks for the info. the taipei hostel, is it near to the mrt station? one more thing. how's the transportation in taiwan and taipei? is it easy to travel around?

need your advice on whether to book accomodation through online in advance or just walk in to hotel when i reach taiwan is safe.
