Taitung HSR?? Taichung HSR u mean...

You mean Cingjing, Alishan, SML in 1 day then cheong to Taichung HSR to take HSR to Taipei??

If yes, 0 chance at all..SML 1/2 day min, Cingjing reco 2D1N, Alishan min 2D1N..And that's without adding travelling time..

Alishan to SML by car is 3hrs plus..

SML to Cingjing by car is about 2hrs odd...

Cingjing to Taichung HSR is about 2hrs..

becoz i start from hualian to taroko to cinjing , already count in 1 night stay at cinjing

i just feel that morning checkout from cinjing to HSR abit wasted , so was wondering if able to fit in some places before going to HSR , we prefer natural sightseeing more

Impossible one..At most check out CJ then go SML..Cant do Alishan..

If u're planning to go from Taoyuan then Hualien then straight go Taroko then go Cingjing..Also like touch and go Taroko only..

Most out of every location above nt enough..

From the time u reach Alishan from Cingjing by driver after u check out also noon already..At most give u go one Fenchihu then have to rest early for next morning sunrise..After sunrise continue the main area till noon..Go back minsu pack bags and go??

And also from Alishan, go Chiayi HSR or TRA which is nearer than Taichung..

Erm... not sure if the driver for taroko is same as the one for cingjing

my plan is to checkout cinjing minsu by 8am , then bring us to tour alishan to alishan minsu , next day check out maybe 8 or 9am , luggage all on the driver car , finish up alishan then reach HSR by evening , possible ?

oh , btw i really got no idea on alishan , so i dunno where to go what attraction are important to see

If that's ur plan, be prepared to pay..Definitely not the same driver..Cingjing one might bring u up Alishan but not gonna be him the next day..Minsu wise it depends on which one u staying at..Those up at the main area are all hotels..Minsu is usually lower down the mt..

Most of the attraction in Alishan Main Recreation Area is walk and rail service..Not car friendly..

Definitely possible..But why rush urself?? Holiday lehx..

yes i know different driver , i mean if the driver would allow us to take luggage along for the tour so we dont have to return to minsu to pack up again

haha , we simply love the mountain and clouds , would like to go more place within a trip to get nearer to cloud

i have to discuss it with my friend first as im also doing budgeting , any idea how much would it cost to go cinjing > alishan and alishan > taichung HSR , any cab driver to recommend ? ya , money is the factor that determine how far we can go

Sea of Clouds would depend on luck..Most minsu would beable to see them if the condition is right..

Driver would definitely allow, of cos u would be paying more as he would be with u throughout the trip since ur luggage is in their vehicle..

As mention, why Taichung HSR when Chiayi HSR is nearer???

No idea on the cost since i dont book driver for so long and such a distance but do prepare to pay..

Best skip alishan ba, coz no sakura season only can see old trees n if lucky some 雲海. Concentrate on a certain location better than jump here n there, waste so much time on transport. Pay to rush? Singapore rush not enuff ah?
