I'll be going to Taiwan end of May 2010.
 Am so excited planning my itinerary now~Anyone knows how's the weather like during that time? I know it's towards the end of Spring and going into Summer. So the weather will be like Malaysia? Or hotter/cooler? |

QUOTE(oneeleven @ Dec 23 2009, 12:08 AM) In case anyone doesn't know.... Thanks for sharing this. Wisma Goldhill is just behind my office haha. The Taiwan Travel Office is at Wisma Goldhill on the 25th floor. If you bring a non-returnable copy of your air bookings, they will give you a pile of brochures and either an MRT card or hotspring ticket, not both. There is only NT$50 usuable value on the MRT card, which costs NT$100 empty. Over 50 public hotspring resorts are listed on the back of the pass but you can use it for only one, so maybe worth NT$250-300. (If anyone happens to get these and not planning to use them, I will be happy to not waste!) 111 Just wondering, can i collect the stuff on behalf of my friends? Is there any validity period? Cos i'll be going to Taiwan next year May. If i were to collect the stuff now, can i still use them on May?

Hey guys,
Need some opinions here. 1. Should i look for a hotel in Ximending or Taipei Main Terminal? 2. Is there anything interesting/to shop at these 2 areas past 11pm? Some people said that there's nothing much in Ximending during midnights. We don't want to go back hotel at 11pm and watch TV. 3. Is it sufficient to spend 1.5 days in Hua Lian? Thanks. |

QUOTE(stimix @ Dec 28 2009, 12:11 AM) Taipei main station is convenient but lack of cheap restaurants & food compare to Ximengding area. Ximending is alive-lah..Nevertheless at the back of main station, there is one new gigantic shopping mall called Q-square...more like hi-end mall & hi-end food court so dun expect hawker pricing...Hawker pricing in taipei is ~NT$30-NT$50, whereas malls' food courts >NT$50 to NT$200 food. Oh i see. So which means it's recommended for budget travelers to stay in Ximending hotels.. Thanks.Hua liean town is rather small & ppl going there just for the Chin Sui cliff & Taroko Gorge that can be covered within 5-6 hrs wth 2 -3hrs each by train from Taipei.. Day trip via early express train at 8am, arriving at 10am & 5-6hrs tour to Taroko/chin sui cliff & thereafter returning to train station ~4pm is sufficient. |

QUOTE(cybersim2 @ Feb 12 2010, 08:45 AM) I stayed in CityInn 2 last month. It's located behind Taipei Main Station, about 5min walk. What's the rate per night? Just wondering if you know they have a room that fits 4 person?Opposite got KFC, McDonald and 7 Eleven. The room is quite new, staff very friendly, got free internet, MAC computer at the lobby.  Guys, what do you think of the cab fare there? We have 4 persons here. Should we share a cab touring around or take the MRT instead? This could determine whether we should stay near a Metro station or not. Anyone stayed in Rainbow Hotel (長虹大飯店) before? What's your review on it? Now i start to gan cheong already. 3 more months to go. Have done a lot of readings but none is planned. By the way, Happy CNY to all~ This post has been edited by Argiope: Feb 13 2010, 10:33 PM |

Ouch express trains to Hualien are always fully booked?
How long do the regular trains and buses take from Taipei main terminal to Hualien? By the way, anyone knows whether there are buses going to Hualien from Taoyuan airport? |

I'm trying to book the express train tickets from Taipei to Hualien. However, from the schedule on the website, it shows:
自強 1082 山 彰化 至 花蓮 17:02 19:12 2小時10分 逢週日行駛。太魯閣號，不發售無座票。 自強 1069 -- 樹林 至 花蓮 17:40 19:46 2小時6分 逢週五至日行駛。太魯閣號，不發售無座票。 Did you guys board the train to Hualien from Taipei in Taipei Main Terminal or other train stations (彰化 and 樹林)? From the schedule above, it's just the boarding location that is different? |

QUOTE(louyit @ Oct 15 2010, 02:14 PM) can i know what's the normal rate? i'll start negotiating within dat range Mine was TWD2200 for 4 persons in a Toyota Wish. Perhaps you could get a better price for a smaller car since there's only 2 of you.This post has been edited by Argiope: Oct 17 2010, 10:53 PM |
