QUOTE(kons @ Jan 23 2011, 11:39 AM) Taxi in Malaysia midnight rate is depending from your location. Can I get any hotel or hostel below RM250 below for a room which good location or easier for me??? so there will be no public transport at that time??? is eva air better or china airlines??? both oso 20kg check in luggage???In Taipei, proper airport limo rate is NTD1200, no matter it's night or day. If you nego with street taxi to pick you up, maybe you get like NTD 800 to NTD 1100.. definitely cheaper than NTD1200. Cheap hotel, define your budget. To me anything below RM300 is cheap enough to consider. Plenty of choices already with RM300. Taiwan hotel is generally cheaper than most other places in the world, for the quality we get.

The rent is about RM40-RM45 per person per night My rating: Location---> 10/10 Price------>10/10 Room-----> 8/10 This post has been edited by MandyG: Jan 23 2011, 11:54 PM |

QUOTE(kylim85 @ Jan 26 2011, 06:48 AM) I think there is Ntg special in Hualien unless u want to visit Taroko gorge. Since you only spend 5 days in Taiwan I advise u better skip Hualien. if i spend 6days b'cos now we decided to take the eva air instead of china airlines... so eva air only give us choose either spend 4d3n or 6d5n at taiwan.... so we thought of going to much more places.... got any recommend places for seeing those tradition thing like view or others.... is there any possible public transport to hualien.... |

QUOTE(kylim85 @ Jan 27 2011, 10:40 PM) Actually ur travel is about 4 days only..so I think u should not go anywhere outside Taipei..my advice is then how bout window on china??? at middle of feb can buy clothes o shopping??? not sold winter clothing.....Day 1: if u are staying at fun taipei backpackers...when u arrive about 8pm, take taxi to hostel immediately and do not waste time for public transport. Reach Shihlin estimation around 10pm.. Check in hostel and get some rest and visit Shihlin night market around 11pm maybe till 1am... Day 2: visit cks memorial park in the morning follow by ximenting (remember to try ahchong mien Sien) and then during evening visit longshan temple and nearby night Market... Day 3: visit sun yat sen memorial park follow by Taipei 101 and then Wufenbu and spend the night at raohe night Market. Day 4: visit flora expo early in the morning and then visit national palace museum around 2pm...if not mistaken the museum close around 5pm... Day 5: visit xinbeitou for it's hotspring in the morning and then do your final shopping at ximending during evening and Shihlin night Market during night. Day 6: taxi early taxi around 5am to airport and depart to Msia... Or u can trade any of the day with a visit to Jiufen and Kee lung... |
