Hi Guys,

19 May to 29 May
I've already planned out 5 days in Taipei and Jiu fen,

Still planning out the last 5 days

Trying to find a cab driver for Taichung for 1 day

Am trying to plan out a trip to Alisan, is it convenient to travel there by public transport?

Any recommendations ? Will be using Taipei hotel as a base for all my stay in taiwan

Thanks guys

If you already book your Taipei hotel for straight 10 days, dont bother going to Alishan(Min 2D1N).. Train over to Chiayi Station on Tze-Chiang Limited Express is 2hrs+, bus up to main area about 1hr30mins to 2hrs. Main area need 1/2 day..And still got places like Fenchihu..And most ppl would wana stay for sunrise the next morning. Anyway, now no Sakura so IMHO no pt heading up.

How is ur 5 days Taipei segment like? 1st time?

i suggest you stay in taichung for 1 - 2 days instead of making a day trip there. Even if you had made booking for 10 days in taipei, some hotels/minsu allow you to make changes without any changes de.

i compiled some of the places which i wanna visit in taichung for my june trip in my blog. You can check it out. =)

haha. 26 -28 hotel not yet booked

Usually we would use the 1st few days and head out of Taipei rather than the last few days..

Since arriving early, no time wasted and also most shopping would be done at Taipei..So nt wise to carry items and luggages from for example Taichung to Taoyuan..

wow excellent! I also taking the same timing flight as u, was also planning to head to taichung first because if stay in taipei wait for check in is damn waste time. you book all the minsu and hotels already?

i suggest you stay in taichung for 1 - 2 days instead of making a day trip there. Even if you had made booking for 10 days in taipei, some hotels/minsu allow you to make changes without any changes de.
