Hi. I'm planning for a trip to Taiwan this June. Will be there for like 7-8 days. Do you think there will be enough time for me to visit Hualien, Sun Moon Lake, Cinjing, Alisan and Farmosan Aboriginal Cultural Village? I would have to keep 3 days for Hualien coz am visiting a friend there. Wanted to visit the Lavender Farm in Kaohsiung as well but most likely will be impossible. Please advise. Thank you.
回覆刪除It is possibly if you skip Taipei,Kaohsiung,Taichung(Lavender Farm)
刪除Ok. I think I will skip those and probably the Farmosan Aborginal Cultural Village as well since it's an amusement park. Prefer to enjoy the nature. If I need any advice will ask again yah. Probably after I've planned my iterinary will ask you if it's ok or not. Thank you so much!!!
回覆刪除Hello. Sorry to disturb you again. I'm contemplating how I should go to Alishan. Will it be easier and nearer to go from Taichung or Kaohsiung? And do you recommend a night stay in Alishan or I should just make it a day trip?
回覆刪除Chiayi is in the middle of Taichung & Kaohsiung. Not much difference.
刪除I would suggest that you can stay overnight at Alisan since it takes 2.5hr on the winding mountain road. And you won't have time to enjoy the forest railway.
Ok. Is there any recommended place to stay in Alishan?
回覆刪除If you have enough budget, try Alisan House

There are also some others hotel you can try if they accept booking online

Ok. Thank you very much for your recommendation.
刪除Hello again. I'm trying to find the best way to go from Cinjing to Hualien on 23 June which is a Thursday. Not too sure if I should travel the mountain roads or go down to Taichung and from there to Hualien. I understand that either way, both will take quite a long journey as well. Any better suggestion? By the way, I've narrowed down my place of visit to Alishan, Sun Moon Lake, Cinjing, Hualien and Taipei. Reaching and leaving Taipei 19 June 2pm and 27 June 10am. Please advise what's the best route I should take. Thank you!!!
回覆刪除For the transportation, please refer to another post "Bus Trip Between Hualien & Cingjin"
刪除The Key: can you book the shuttle bus between Cingjin & Hualien? Ask the help from your hotel host.
If you cannot book, follow itinerary 2 above. Stay at Taipei and move to Hualien. Go to Hualien via Taipei from Cingjing directly is exhaustive.
Ok. Thank you so much. I will ask the hotel that I'm staying to assist me. I found out some travelers will get a cab from Cinjing to Hualien with stops in few other places. Do you have any experienced and good cab driver that you can recommend?
刪除If there are family with you, hiring a cab is a good choice.
刪除I'm afraid that I cannot provide list. You can find some lists in Tripadvisors. Since it is a full day driving, the price is around NTD 6000-8000.
You can also ask your hotel host to hire a cab for you. Then the quality of the driver is under the guarantee of the host.
Ok. Thank you so much!!!
刪除Thank you for posting this! I will only be in Taipei for 12 nights, so I am thinking of following your itinerary for two weeks except cutting out Taichung. That way I will also avoid going to Sun Moon Lake on the weekend (since I arrive on June 16, which is a Wed.). Does that sound good? Thank you for your input.
回覆刪除If your transportation arrangement is ok, your plan would be gooed
刪除Or would it be better for me to spend two nights in Taichung and go to Sun Moon Lake on a day trip?
回覆刪除Technologically, both are doable. The choice depending on your preference.
回覆刪除Hi Sullivan, I am going to travel for 15 days on 30 Oct - 13 Nov, going clockwise: Hualien, Taitung, Tainan, Alishan, Cingjing, Taichung, Taipei. I am thinking to rent a car from Hualien and drive myself because it saves time and more flexible. But I am worried about the mountain roads in Alishan and Nantou area. Is it safe to drive on our own? Is the GPS clear and reliable?
回覆刪除The road condition is under great monitor and maintenance. GPS is also clear reliable. The key problems are:
刪除1. If you don't have experience along the winding road, drive slowly.
2. Confirm that you can rent and return the car at different places.
Hello :)
回覆刪除We are going to Taiwan next year January 2017 for seven days. two days will be used flying in and out of Taiwan. Any suggestions where to go? Is it still recommended to do outdoor activity like climbing Mount QiXing? Thank you very much
Try the day trip itinerary examples of Taipei.
刪除It would be cold and raining at Mt Qixing in Jan. But you can go to Yanminshan for Cherry blossom.
Hi :)
回覆刪除Was planning my itin as
D1: Taoyuan airport, arriving in the morning (by Bus705 & HSR)->Taichung HSR station (by di pei) ->Cing Jing (tour and 1 night stay)
D2: Cing Jing (by di pei)->Taroko Park (tour and drive back to Taipei)
I am travelling with a couple of elderly and a 4 year old. Is this itin doable and if it is taxing for the folks. Thank you! :)
Yes, your itinerary is doable by taxi.
刪除D2 would be late. The trip may be over 12 hours and arrive Taipei after 9pm.
Hi Sullivan
回覆刪除I will be in Taichung on 26 & 27 February 2017. Where is a good place for cherry blossom in Taichung or nearby?
Thanks
Catherine
It is the right time to watch cherry blossom in Formosan Aboriginal Park, which is next to Sun Moon Lake

Hi, I'm going to be spending 4 days in Taipei. I want to go to Shifen and Jiufen as well as TaiChung. Is it possible to do Shifen and Jiufen by public transportation or would a shuttle bus be more wortwhile? I want to do a 1 day trip for Taichung, would you be able to suggest me an itinerary? Thank you
回覆刪除Jiufen & Shifen is doable in one day from Taipei by train/bus.

Taichung is 150KM away from Taipei. You can have one day trip for Taichung. However, you don't have much time for urban attractions.
