I DIY Alishan, cingjing, Taipei, very easy. Transportation very accessible.
Only Taichung attractions far from each other, so hire a driver is more convenient. I hire taxi (not the best option) for a day for 3500 ntd.(1 also 2 pax)

Don mind can share with me how u went about? Kum sia

Hi guys, need some advice on the booking of TRA booking.

1) I am booking train tickets for 1 Nov, but to my surprise when I tried to book tickets this morning (14 days in advance for 1 Nov) all the train tickets are already sold out!

Is this a case of people rushing to reserve train tickets first? I see there are still train tickets available for same day so can't be there are still tickets available when there is a rush to book 14 days in advance right?

2) Also what is the discounted half price rate about?

Sorry but I forgot who is able to help book TRA tickets.

Thanks for the help!

I will be going to Taiwan for 8 days 7 nights in Apr 2020.

I have been to Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung over the years. But this time I will be going with elderly around mid sixties.

Where will you guys recommend?

During Apr, is there anything I can't miss out?

HSR? No I am just booking a normal TRA from Taipei to Hualien.


https://www.railway.gov.tw/tra-tip-web/tip/tip00C/tipC12/view10
Date that can be booked
Booking on different day of trip: Two weeks (fourteen days before the trip) can be booked. That is, you can book tickets for the third Monday from now, and you can book more tickets for two days to the third Sunday on Fridays. (ie, every Friday, you can book to the third Friday, Saturday, Sunday ticket).

Not always 14 days rule.
But if you check today and still gone, means super packed that week due to possible events like taroko marathon etc.
Try again when free. If not have to board elsewhere

Minsu is good, staff is friendly and helpful but the boss spoil my day there. The boss not interested to do long term business, very fierce and only hire 1 staff how to take care all the guests.
