No, may be timing not right, tour guide ask us to visit 清境農場 again for many activities. I like the most is 清境農場 and 合欢山

Wonderful! We also like the 清境農場.

I dun mind to spend whole week there, so beautiful!

i got a question rite now @@...

is possible i find travel agency and just look for flight + accommodation package a? i dont need any tour package along coz im jz planning to travel around taipei myself.

now i find airasia d flight ticket around 1.3k for go n back. havent find accommodation yet

paiseh 1st time planning oversea trip myself.

This thread is about DIY without agent lah.

Most of us here on DIY. and book our hotels directly or even using those online booking website such as agoda, asiarooms, hotelclub & etc.

Just visit pg 1 for basic & compiled info. The RM1300 ticket is way too expensive. That's is also MAS normal pricing dy. I think you're buying for peak period or current date. FTI, a return AA promo ticket can be as low as RM260 to RM400 only

Try to ask this Mr. Huang in the below link; we stayed there before for 3 nights is nice homestay very near to XiMenDin MRT Station, the home stay is just cross opposite the "famous Ah Zhong Mien Sien". For the rate normally weekday is cheaper as usual.

i got aax premium at 1.8k oni.. coz i need the power plug to prepare for my presentation.. in the end i slept for 2 hours too. dem, must be the food.

how much is the homestay here?
the cheapest decent hotel i have stayed before is about twd 1300.. very near to mrt.
if it is cheaper than that, i rather stay here.. but usually i travel alone.. hehehe.

1300 = RM130? mind sharing what motel/hostel/hotel is that?

oh thanks.
now i found go @ RM500 , return @ RM600 , total up with tax around RM1.2k+ , but nid stay for 11days. ya, was booking at current date @ AA
now wat left is find cheap accommodation only

plenty of them, just go trip advisor and start searching yo.
last time i stayed before is this one..

do you need a driver i got a driver, in taipei city whole day, no time limited is TWD2,500 out of taipei city is TWD 5,000, just came back from taiwan. im sure he will bring u alots of places more than tour agency, and u save time and money on transport

What I mean is during promo, or booking 9- 1 yr in advance, you can get RM250-RM400 RETURN tickte inclusive of tax.. RM1.2K using AA normal price still expensive! Even MAS offering ~ RM800 Return ticket during MAS promo

Any idea how to go Leofoo Village Theme Park from Xi men ding?

Hey there, have been reading through the posts.

Am currently planning a trip to Taiwan during mid-July (it's going to be super hot). Have only bought the tickets. The trip is for 7D 6N

Firstly, any recommendations on reasonable hotels / hostel?
Secondly, I would appreciate assistance from fellow forum whom have been to Taiwan to share your itinerary with me?

It's a rather daunting task to be planning a trip for a group of 5 people for the first time

Thanks in advance!~

U can refer to the first page first post.. there got a few of itinerary, u can mix n match urself.. it really helpful

Yea silly me...tons of info on the first page

But now i'm thinking since its a week long holiday. Is it better to focus on a place only, or would there be enough time to visit most of the places around taiwan. Any opinion or feedback to help me to help me to begin my planning?

7D6N. You probably having xtra days that you can explore Kaoshiung/Taichung and another day to Taroko

For me even only 5d4N, I able to do Taroko already including other areas surrounding Taipei such as Jiufen/Yehliu/Dansui & Taipei itself..I only missed 2 areas in Taipei i.e Beitoui, YangMingshan & Wulai area.

If 7D6N, you probably can cover those areas I missed above if you decided not going to Kaoshiong/Taichong

Meaning to say with 7 days i can go around whole of taiwan? will it be too pack / rushing?

As I havent been there before, Do u take Taipei as the base and then from there u move around? is the distance between the surrounding areas near or are they far that it would be wiser to stay at a different hotel at different places.

Am totally lost now, haha looking at the map i'm not sure how to plan. In general, how would the recommended movement be? meaning start from which city and then move on to where and where??

i think u can refer to kampungboycitygirl's itinerary.. they r 6d6n.. abt the same range like u..
