going tw 20th march mainly to catch sakura, 6d5n. need a bit of suggestion

my itinerary:
day 1 reach kaoshiung->HSR to Chiayi, check in hotel, explore chiayi, maybe go hinoki village and night market
day 2 up alishan via train. not sure stay until what time, maybe can walk night market before heading down. still got bus at night?
day 3 check out, walk a bit of chiayi -> HSR to taipei, head to beitou check in hotel. night explore around, maybe go shilin night market
day 4 up yangmingshan via bus
day 5 maybe go jiufen or wulai? which one suited for 1 day visit?
day 6 check out, shop a bit, head taoyuan air port

Alishan to Chiayi HSR last bus is 4.40pm, if you want to leave at night I think you can approach those touters, got a lot of them.
Suggest if you go alishan at least stay 1 night, the trip up take 3 hours and more, trip down also. And I feel its quite dangerous to travel down alishan at night too.

Buy a jacket? Chop carrot price also cheaper then here, then definitely cheaper then get sick...
I only realize when I reach there... luckily during meals the staff gave us towel in the open space dinning area.

Actually can ask hotel to help mail back the jacket to you.
You may pay them back via mail.
I didn’t know about that but the driver drove us back to hotel after confirming they found the jacket before on the way to HSR.

Taichung itinerary totally ruin lol.

9am move out to Xin She Hua Hui, just enter start raining abit.
Den headed to Lavender Cottage, too cold and super windy with rain.
Ate meal walk less than 30mins went to Gong Yuan Yan Ke....stop there for 15mins and driver drove us to buy Tai Yan Bing.
Head back hotel and den HSR.

Initial Itinerary is 9am - 6pm with Gaomei 3,500.
if without Gaomei is 3,000.
Ended before 5pm we already reached HSR and he charged us 2,500.

I am going to Taiwan in May, but I have no idea where to go. Can you guys give me suggestion? I been to Taipei > Tai Chung route in 2014. I was thinking of the following routes:

1) Taipei Airport > Yi Lan > Hua Lien > Taroko Gorge > Taipei Airport back

2) Kaohsiung City > Tainan > Kaohsiung City Airport back

3) Kaohsiung City > Kenting > Kaohsiung City Airport back

I have 7 days of holidays. Any suggestion other than the above? Thanks a lot!
