Shida nm nothing much to see...
Shilin nm is very commercialised and probably crowded like anything

Just something to note ~

Thanks for the inputs

So would it be fine to change day 2 to Jingmei night market, and day 6 to Huaxi nightmarket instead? Are those two night markets better to shop and eat at? Or there are other nightmarkets not to be miss?

Also like to check if my itinerary is a tab too ambitious? Esp for day 1,4,5 and 6? Actually need some help for Yilan, I dun really know where really good to visit and how to get there , just do rough check over the internet only

Appreciate any inputs given
