C an.
But of course your passport must come in time before travel.
Ensure name and BD is correct as well.

 

[calkel20]

Yes I did. And Klook is having 1 for 1 promo for the HSR.

Then decide if worth the hassle.
Because of the 1 for 1, that is the main + point.
If travel on Friday, may run the risk of no seat on hsr for 1hr standing.

If you plan to travel by HSR then you most probably reach taichung hotel around 9+

the easiest and fuss-free is to take the express bus direct from airport terminal to tc train stn. then take taxi to hotel. sure got seats on the bus to relax and take a quick wink if needed. and is the cheapest option. haha.

will be my first time. But heard if around Taipei 5 days should be enough?

depends on what u want to do. sightseeing, or shopping, or dining, or mix. 5 days will probably give u enough time to visit the touristy spots. if u read the earlier posts, there r some suggested places to visit.

if u like it after this trip, can always go back taiwan again.

will be my first time. But heard if around Taipei 5 days should be enough?

depends what u like to see or do. if not sure just take as exploration trip & divide your time between various cities like Taipei, Taichung, tainan, kaohsiung, hualian. so next trip u know how to plan your time in taiwan

ticket booking no need passport details. passport details required during check-in.

5 days no need to go so many other places. Waste time traveling only.

Ok, but 1st time in Taiwan, just tour Taipei. If like then expand to other cities. Dun mar the experience thinking need to do so much travel and won’t come back later.

Actually some airlines do need passport details when purchasing ticket example lionair.

 

[pclow59]

If included New Taipei City, then 10 days will not seems a lot.

so better avoid especially for those in process of renewing since new passport number will be issued.

don't know how troublesome it will be to request passport number change once new passport arrives. i will try to avoid such scenario.

For most who thinks YouTube is a good guide, yes it is without a single doubt.
Last time we get info from 食尚玩家。
But now most people really rush from one place to another.
Utubers are crashing a few days into a single day of trip.
How they get it done is that they will not tell you they take taxis or get ferry/shuttle service from one location to another.
So do plan wisely for most new comers.
