2 nights, but i went few times already. probably you can consider 2 to 3 nights if going fo guang shan as it will take 3/4 days.

I'm planning to go probably end December and might stay on to countdown. 5 days should be enough ? The 佛光山 is always on my list . Let's say if I want to go Kenting, I think allow 7 days best?

Levis jeans also not cheap
columbia must wait for sales
TNF … too exp
mont bell … find their material abit too rough
patagonia … can only order online so can't feel the material

recently bought M&S Bermudas during sales … very light & quick dry + lots of useful pockets

since i travel budget + carry on luggage. been constantly looking for ways to reduce weight …

I do agree with you.
Have good fabric is impt.
If you travel often and do not think you need them, dun need to buy.
I do go ard in my royal robbins. They serve me well.
Columbia is too ex.
Of course if you can afford mont bell, TNF, patagonia, why not?

Really ? For Taiwan?

Even atop Alishan at sunrise, just heattech inner and a simple windbreaker or jacket will suffice.
That's my perception anyway.

Depend on when you go. I went in early march, just heattech inner and a simple windbreaker or jacket is not enough. it's 5 degree at alishan waiting for sunrise, worst cant see sunrise that day due to heavy fogging.

Layer enough. Heat tech, shirt/long sleeve plus a jacket.
Not hiking, no need so solid ones.
My north face starts to peel after hiking bromo and ijen.
Things do not last forever.
