The trip happens to be on a Sunday so I am little worried that the park and the train/bus are overcrowded. I may not have any alternative time so I guess the date is fixed. Is it really crowded with people then and if so, does it really affect the experience we may have there?<br />2. Can I buy the tickets for direct train / combo tickets back to Taipei at Xincheng station AND/OR from the Taipei Bus Station?<br />Thank you for your time.Heoquayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302509703935023441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517638118130845980.post-2164664270794217332018-02-20T19:28:36.606-08:002018-02-20T19:28:36.606-08:00You can take 202 Puyuma(8:14am) and 402 Taroko(8:2...You can take 202 Puyuma(8:14am) and 402 Taroko(8:24).

I asked because I'm planning to book a taxi tour in Taroko, and want to make sure that we can come to Taroko on that day (Feb 21), else I will cancel the booking (3 days in advance). We're coming during Lunar New Year, so i'm worried that it will be crowded/the ticket might be sold out. Anyway, if it's unlimited issued then should be okay.alpenliebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741162519810897300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8517638118130845980.post-55584931144904095972018-01-30T09:29:20.528-08:002018-01-30T09:29:20.528-08:00You can only buy today's ticket.Why do you nee...You can only buy today's ticket.Why do you need to buy in advance?
