Not on the way but it is the exact station. There are few exit...The closest if I'm not mistaken is exit 6 & Xi men Ding neon light is just above you..Further is the famous red house just right in front of the exit

ooo thanks thanks, means it is near to the Taipei Main station =)

Wu Feng Pu is right across Housanpi MRT station.. But you can't really see the entrance until u ask ppl there...Those shanty town cloths market is very similar to bangkok Pratunam/ Chinatown...wth narrow backlane streets markets.

Cross the road from the Housanpi MRT station, walk pass Uncle Chang Fusion food & u can see an area wth 1960's style 6-10 storey high biz ctr. Those cloths market are surrounded the backlanes of the frontage shoplots...The whole area does not look like modern city for sure..really remind me of Pratunam open cloths market & Bangkok Chinatown
*
ooo thanks thanks~ means no need to take bus? i tot from the previous post they say hv to take bus also~~

means it is like our chinatown also? not a building with many wholesales inside? they open for long hours? any holiday for them? like maybe sunday no open?

wu fen pu have got the most clothes there? how about taipei main station? also got cheap clothes around there is it?

I think Wufenpu is too large. Wholesale market suitable for those who like to buy in big bulk. You can reach there by taking train to Songshan Station, juz 1 station frm Taipei Main Station. Exit the station > On your right is Raohe Night Market > On your left is Wufenpu
*
erm i tot go to wufenpu need to take to Hou Shan Pi station? @.@ how come exit at Songshan~ so near already?

Sonshan is the conventional railway station & not MRT. Housanpi is the MRT station. U can decide which one u want. Housanpi is located South of Wufengpu & Songsan is on the North side. South to North probably ~1.5-2km distance i.e that's the size of that 1960/1970 eras flats dwelling/ narrow shops area in wufengpu.
*
So actually both ways also can go via walking distance? Seems like from songshan is nearer? Ty so much~ you are so good in travelling must be rich~ haha

I don't really use Sonshan railway station but from wikimapia, the walking distance to Wufengou from both station is the same. check wikimapia here:

I'm not rich-lah..if rich I won't be going on budget dy & staying at hostel instead of 4-5 star hotels  biggrin.gif

For me i will choose MRT to Housanpi bcos waiting for the conventional train is like waiting for our rapidkl LRT during offpeak..but waiting for MRT within 1 minute 1 train!
*
ooo okok~~ maybe when im going will choose this way too~

Hihi.. went to matta fair~ didnt get any good deals, most of the travel agent now only do ground @.@ if ask them to book the air tix also will be much mroe exp compare to i direct book from air asia web hotel+flight

so i guess will be going via air asia since stimix also say air asia flight might be bigger then mas hhehe =) around 1k per pax

few questions:

1) May i know should i buy the airport transfer in the air asia package? coz seems like exp not sure thou..

2) end of june is it good? Hope it is good dont want sch holidays~ else will be very pack

3) I ask some travel agent during matta fair what is the season in taipei during end of june, some of them too busy, some of them say they dont know @.@ so... i asked a friend he say should b good during end of june? weather like genting? [sorry, jst notice stimix you put the graph there maybe jst now too lag cant view it, so actually june is not good? =( will be raining? or is it too hot? if too hot should b ok but if rain how to shop? =(]

4) erm silly question i saw that you, by changing to USD 1st go there to change to Taiwan notes will be cheaper? May i know how come ya?

5) The hotel air asia provide cheapest n nearest to mrt is Chairman hotel, erm is it clean? i google the hotel seems like enar to mrt~ hope i can walk to the station hehe

thank you so much~~~

oo the air asia is included hotel liao de wo rm1k hotel + 4 days 3 nites~ matta fair they quote me i think rm6xx for aa flight only and rm9xx for mas @.@ so ithink rm1kis cheaper?

airport transfer is around 189 (i think more then 150 less then 200) per person return @.@ so via bus much cheaper?

ooo~~ so hot ok la~ no rain ok laio hehehe~~

sorry about the currency exchange coz i went to www.xe.com haha use rm change to usd, then use usd change back to taiwan lol~ same=P haha yaya im very bad in maths so sorry~~ will check and understand how u count hehe =)

The rate at www.xe.com i sthe current world market rate. and currently from that link, I'm getting NT100 at RM10.4235..well u are not wrong to use then as yardstick or even official Bank Negara rate ( I think ~ RM10.50)

If you can get this rate in any Money changer in Malaysia or in Taipei..I will hv to Tabik u liao haha.

So far, one of the best if u check the wawasan link on 1st pg is at RNM10.95. So you know the actual tradeable world market rate is ~ RM10.50 & you wannachange at RM10.95??

By changing US$ 1st & changing to NT$, the effective rate after commission & etc will be ~ RM10.60...U already save RM0.35 by doing this....

Walai ehhh...I explained again...now more than 9999 times liao

haha okok =P looking thru it~~ dont get angry har~~ so sorry~~

Not really far ~ 1.5 km distance. Near Main station normally all high end shopping. & at the back having one big gigantic new shopping mall Just opened mid Dec 2009. & also at the undeground level, there are 2 underground malls. & opposite the station is the Mistsuko Mall & buiding which is the 2nd tallest building in Taipei 7 2rd in Taiwan

Xi Meng Ding more lively & more like Petaling st in KL..or Sg Wang Plaza open air conept
*
so stay where better? near XiMenDing / Taipei Main MRT @.@ any idea~ planning to book nxt week already haha~~ because im afraid if stay between it would be very far~ goolge already looks far~ if stay in between haha~~

Stay near any of the MRT station will do. Xi meng ding good for food & open air shopping. taipei Railway good for centre of everything.. Well i also stay 1 station after main station (Shandong temple) & even walked b4 to the main station..i decided to take MRT the nxt dau esier that way.

Up to you & your budget loh...
*
hmm.. stay in between is a bit cheaper then stay near to taipei main mrt, so... so headache, because if i choose to stay near Taipei Main MRT, if at nite i wanna go xi men ting walk walk will there be train around? do they close at 12midnite like msia lrt?

hmm.. planning to go in the last week of june or maybe 21st~ 1st page got weather chat~ june will be hot like stimix hadmention at the 1st page haha~~ come back can become black pig~ lol no choice~~

i book via air asia, hotel+flight around 1k it is free and easy, if you need some others day tour or what air asia can do the booking for you of coz have to pay~ else like stimix say book earlier then cheaper~ so after this 1st trip to taiwan then i can wait for AA/MAS promo hehehe =)

Sumore my hostel BT$600/room nia..haha

erm.... for the train is it this one? http://www.railway.gov.tw/en/ticket/ticket-1.aspx ( i found from 1st page) This train for the city? they dont have airport to taipei main? @.@ cause if got then i can buy my train ticket from airport - taipei main ~ train better then bus right? and hor dont know how much shopping am i going to do~ hahaha so maybe bringing big bag, but im afraid when i go there dont have so much things to buy lol!!
