Hi Guys and Gal,

Very nice thread here.


I m actually planning to go to Taiwan on middle of march(Next Month).

Is there any good travel agency you guys can recommend. Its for 2 person , 5 days 4 nights or 6 days 5 nights.

Most important point is that it must include the day tour to Doraemon Theme Park.

My budget is rm4k+ for 2 person, is it enough for everything?


Is changing Rm to USD really better in terms of the exchange rate than me going over to taiwan to convert it from Rm to NT.



Sorry many noob question

I wanna try travel agent 1st as this is my 1st time to taiwan. I m half banana, some chinese word i can't read and pronounce hehehe.

Next trip i will go without agent.

Ok thanks, maybe i do some more research and then consider for a free n easy for my taiwan trip

Hi, need some guide on how to reach " Window On China".

Its at taoyuan area as i checked online.

Anyone can provide me with transportation guide using MRT or BUS to that place?

Reason for going: See doraemon mini world

Rates for transportation will be very much appreciated if available, thanks guys/gal. i m going there on middle of june, booked ticket already.
(I know its a hot summer there + some chance of typhoon )

I don't think its closed yet. I still see the chinese new year promotion for the doraemon theme at their official website.

I know that 2010 will be the last year Doraemon theme decorative will be put on display at Window On China. That is the main reason my gf wanna go Taiwan : )

Thanks for the info cybersim2.

For those who wanna visit Window On China to see the Doraemon Theme Park, please do so within 2010 because the staff of WOC told me that after January 2011, it will be removed.

Hi guys/gals, need some help here.

I m going to taiwan on 17th June till 25th June. (9 Days 7 Night)

My flight will reach Taoyuan airport around 10.30pm 17th June , few more hours it will be 18th June already.

Is there any nice hotel with good rate to stay at Taipei. I checked the GocityInn, its full , if no choice i have to stay at Xi Men Ding. As i read online, Xi Men Ding night market is closed around 10.30pm, there won't be anything to eat or see when i reach there.
So i would really like to stay at hotel near the Taipei Main Station.

I want to go to Taoyuan Window On China themepark the next day when i reach Taipei. Wondering, how to manage all those hotel booking as i trip is
i got 7 days of travelling there.

Places i will be going is :
- Taipei Area (2~3 days)
- Taoyuan Window On China ( Spend 1 night at the theme park hotel there),
- Keelung area, Yehliu , Jinguashi, Jiufen ( Maybe spend 1 night at the jiufen inn or B&B , i saw the pics its very nice)


Now the big problem is; should i reserve 7 Night at Taipei / Xi Men Ding Hotel and travel to the other county of taiwan like Keelung

or

I keep switching hotel after few days..... I m afraid of the inconvenience of carrying luggage and other items if i visit other places and keep switching hotels.


Any nice suggestion from you guys/gals who faced this situation before.

Finally booked hotel

For the Hualien , Taroko area , roughly how much is the transport fee and entrance?

Hi guys/gals, me again ahahaha.


Any1 here know the way to TaoYuan Window On China Theme Park?

I saw on some forum , there are 2 ways:


First Option: Board the MRT train to Jing-an MRT Station and transfer to the bus outside Jing-an MRT Station (last pick-up stop). The same bus departing Songshan Airport will stop at Jing-an MRT Station for pick-ups. Fare: NT$220 (return) Travel time: About 1 hr


Second Option: Board railway trains from Taipei to Jhongli (also spelled Chungli).

At the front of Jhongli Railway Station (中坜火车站), board Hsinchu buses direct to Window On China. Purchase bus ticket from the ticket machine placed outside the bus station office. Fare: NT$49 Travel time: About 50 mins. Bus frequency: Every 30 mins


I will be staying at Xi Men Ding area. Which way is cost efficient or convenient for me. Another thing confusion for me is the transport in taiwan.

They got TRA, MRT/TRTS , train, railway...... o_0 many different lines.

Added on May 20, 2010, 9:35 pmHi make87, i have taken your suggestion into consideration.

I have booked 1 night 民宿 stay at Jiufen, i wanna see the wonderful night view there.

So 1 day is for Jinguashi (morning - afternoon) + Jiufen ( Afternoon - overnight).

The next morning, i want to go to Keelung - Yehliu area and Danshui 渔人码头 , is Jiufen nearby those area after i have stayed a night at Jiufen?

Added on May 20, 2010, 9:37 pmTaroko gorge is a nice place, but it kind of eats up a lot of time and money alone for visiting there. i m still considering, low on budget x_x

Wanna update some info here:

I just redempted some nice item at Wisma Goldhill, Jln Raja Chulan.


For people travelling to Taiwan within June , they have a Promotion, they gave either :

Easy Card NT50

or

Theme Park Entrance Ticket for all the theme park in Taiwan ( Yes, Including Window On China, for Doraemon)<--- more worth than the easy card.


The Window On China Theme Park showcasing doraemon stuff will last till January 2011, so better go there to see it within this year.

Added on May 24, 2010, 12:35 pmGo to Wisma Gold Hill, Jln Raja Chulan. (Opposite Affin Building And Beside Public Bank Building). I think its Level 25 if i m not mistaken hehehe

You just need to give 1 copy of your itinerary, your flight ticket to proof you are going to Taiwan in the future date (Your copy is non-returnable).


For June Promotion, either you redempt : EasyCard(MRT Card) with value of NT50 (Around Rm5 only)
or
All Theme Park Ticket ( 1 admission only for any of the theme park in Taiwan) Worth more than NT490 for Window On China ( RM49).


Also, there are around 15 catalouge and leaflet there, please take it and read it, there are some in english. Most of it will show you how to get around famous destination like : Yehliu, Danshui, Huilien, Taroko, Jiufen, Jianguashi, Shifen and all the county of taiwan. Very very very valuable guidebook and leaflet.
