Do you mean your route is Taichung > Cingjing > Taichung > Taipei?
Cingjing farm I didn't see any luggage storage area. HSR not sure.
It's best to leave yr luggage to yr hotel, go Cingjing farm early, come back to hotel for checkout. After check out can ask hotel/ minsu to send you to HSR.

You can also take afternoon bus direct to Taipei.

Thks everyone for your helpful replies. My route will be Taichung > Cingjing > Taichung > Taipei

Our luggage will be quite bulky as I'm travelling with another senior family member so we don't intend to lug them around Cingjing.

Hi Taiwan experts, are there any luggage storage facilities at Cingjing Farm or Taichung HSR station? Or is it better to leave my luggage with the Taichung hotel, then retrieve it after coming back from Cingjing?
Because for my 3rd day in Taichung, I intend to go to Cingjing and head to Taipei on the same day. Thks.
Suggest u just book a driver
Save yourself the hassle and rush
It will be okay as long as really not too many luggages

Since you going back to Taichung for a night or 2. Before you go cingjing, check out hotel, leave your luggage with the hotel. Get it back when you do check in.
In this case you need to have 2 luggage so that you can split.

Just went kaoshiong. Their food taste not bad. Not as heavy on flavour from sauce but more of the natural flavour. Din tai fung same std as SG. But tim ho wan there better. I noticed their bread or flour based taste better. Their milk n bubble tea. also taste better as tw local sourced milk. Sugar tiger much better than SG

How are you going to Taroko National Park from cingjing? By hiring driver?
Cingjing will wasted if you only spend half a day there, next morning go Hualien. With elderly why rush, spend more time in 1 place than spend more time in travelling.

Or should i stay at Hualien for 1 night then next day back to Taipei? From Hualien to Taipei any interesting attractions i should stop by?

I thought you already done planning?
Yes, it's best to stay 2 nights in cingjing then next morning go Hualien (taroko). Where you want to stay a night depend on what you want, Jiaoxi hotel for hotspring or Hualien hotel to see some Hualien attraction.
Hualien to Taipei is very far so you can't stop too many places, try goggle attractions in yilan (jiaoxi).

Cingjing hotel, you can check out Star Villa. I stay there once, minsu location very good and friendly. Good mountain view yes, catch sunset/sunrise not sure. You can catch sunrise at hehuanshan near cingjing but must wake up very early.

Not done planning yet... still refining the itinerary... but more or less fixed on the dates for air tickets... should be 15days... will be booking air tickets soon... follow by hotels... then look for drivers... hoping to find one that can stay with us throughout but I think due to the long duration quite hard... maybe need to get a few drivers for different locations...

Thanks for the suggestions will check out star villa later...

Suao has another one good hot and cold spring called RSL.
But quite steep pricing
