hi..i jz come back from taiwan yesterday... fun yes...and cold... average temperature 13-14 degree whole day...

can ask me if u have anything to ask. i stayed 4 nights at taipei, 1 night at cingjing and 1 nite at Taichung near Fengjia Night Market.

my whole experience there plus the things that i bought/pay will be written in my blog...but not now la..see when i free. i'll put it here once i have updated

i don't think you can get that cheap. i was talking with one of them while i was in taiwan few days ago, standard one day tour in taipei may cost u NT3500 to NT4000 depending on your itenery. if u found someone not good, they might charge u extra for the toll/entrance fees and additional time that is way over the agreed time and price.

if u want, i can recommend one driver, nice guy but not sure he's booked when u're there...

and btw, 3 days in taiwan only?

Day 1

No way that can happen unless u have booked a super fast driver and also spend maybe 30mins on each location...

i took bus to yehliu, after that bus to keelung to transfer to jiufen. after that take bus to ruifang train station and take train to songshan station. raohe night market and wufenpu fashion area is just walking distance from the station. and that's one day for me...

day 2, i'd suggest that u stay at taipei instead of travelling to taroko and come back

my own opinion, jz skip that. u can see a lot of flowers in other places..no need to pay the entrance fee jz to see flowers. there are loads of flowers to see in yangminshan, and also shilin official residence which is jz walking distance from shilin mrt station

Day 1.
I think you do not have time to visit taichung after u checked in. There's no MRT. taking public bus could be time consuming. The Night market is quite near to J&I.
Day 2.
Never been there b4, no comment.
Day 3.
I jz came back from there, the fog is very thick to see anything. Just a lake, nothing much to see IMHO. I think no need to spend 1 whole day there.
Day 4.
From SM lake to Hualien, is not convenient at all. u'll waste one whole day travelling which is no no. and there's no HSR from hualien to taipei. i heard wulai got nothing to see also. waterfall? u need to pay to go in and it's dirty. cable car?i heard the gondola made from modyfied old bus.
I think u better catch the early morning bus to cingjing farm and spend the night there. it's more worth it.

if u see shop after the security check, can buy from there. i saw someone bring own drinks/mineral water while i was in the place...

it's only a few ringgit difference. if u stay/work near bukit bintang, then ok la... what if u stay at shah alam/puchong etc... i think ur petrol/toll already cover that.

Hi mate
I am going taiwan with group of fren total 9 of us including myself.
We plan only in taipei and jiufen for 7 days 6 night.
So far the quotation we get from the travel agency are around 1k+ RM with hotel (breakfast included) and some day trip.
We felt 1k+ is a bit high so we plan to go places on our own as in hotel or min su we can book on our own.
What we felt major problem we face is transportation.
We were planning if we can book a something like a van to accommodate 9 of us and luggage.
And i do know that transport in taipei is convenient the mrt and taxi is awesome.
Just 1 or 2 van is easier like he can bring us wherever we wan to go.
Cause the quotation we get from travel agency have alot of visit to the museums which we dont feel like going to all of them but some yes.
And at night time if there transport then easier if we feel like go partying smile.gif
I appreciate any1 can leave some information or details that they can provide.

Regards

7days 6 nights in taipei only? you don't need to hire transport for the whole 7days there la.. only do so for the places far away that's not accessible thru MRT such as Jiufen/yehliu/yangmingshan and north side.
9ppl in a van will be quite crowded if u include luggages as well cos i don't think they have vehicle that can fit in all. the next best thing is 19seater bus which is way too big for u guys..
some transport dont work at night after ur late nite partying..even if they do, the might charge u extra
