Hi taiwan experts,
i want to watch the sunrise at yang ming shan (datun mountain) , since the sunrise is at 5.15am i plan to reach at about 4.45am. i will be leaving about 3.45am from taipei main station area.
any issues getting cab there ? will they be willing to go u? i will be taking public transport back to hotel.
not really sure if this is doable, might give up everything if cost is too high or if this a silly idea.
thanks!

Yes, but I'm too lazy to list out everything. Take a lot of hard work to search for detail as I DIY.
You can share yours, we can help you check it out.
Don't need to tip since cab driver charge high price, at most buy him lunch/ dinner/ drink.
Ok. Will share once I draft it. Hoping to be able to go taitung, wonder if it’s too ambitious
When I hire cabby throughout my trip, we were told to pay for all meals (aka he ate what we ate). Not sure if it’s a norm though.
Will only go taitung if hot air balloon festival.
Other than that, quite quiet place.
Depend on your route, if purposely go there then you can forget about it. Travelling from place to place take up a lot of time.
My first time, friend book driver for few days many years back, driver will recommend foods but never join us even we invited him.
2nd time, I book taxi for Taichung tour booking through hotel. During lunch, I invite him for lunch, he rejected. He recommend a famous dessert, this time he get free from that company.

Nope, never ever encounter that but I do pay for their lunch (secretly before they do) or buy them dessert if i think they did a good job. At the end of the day some of them also got us a small gift in return
Those drivers that I used for many trips, never join us for meals. The last trip in March, we went to a secluded place and there is only one restaurant. Invited driver to join us for lunch again and he told us honestly that if we go to certain restaurants, his meal will be provided by that restaurant.
Wah so good. That’s why I feel my driver being greedy and told my family not to always treat him cos those places he recommended were all restaurants, each meal cost us quite abit. But my family paiseh to not treat him.
Sadly I will be missing the festival by 1.5 weeks hahas. Initially tot of going taitung for those nature that I just saw on felicia chin’s Instagram. I’ve been to almost everywhere in Taipei and Taichung and hualien. So considering elsewhere

Which part of taiwan? Taipei is cloudy with occasional rain the past few days. When it is not raining, it is very humid. Although occasional rain, it is very mild.
