dihua street is a must during cny, imo. it's like our chinatown, but with much more stalls and free samplings.

I went this year during CNY. Nothing much. Not much crowd either. Quite meh.

Don't even need to squeeze. Plenty of walking space. The streets were almost empty.

I went on eve and a few days later.

I usually go 2 or 1 week before cny. Those were precovid times. Quite crowded.

Even scoot allow more than one piece as long as total weight don’t exceed. China airlines a bit dinosaur.

no choice... different airlines different treatment...

Now I know UOB KF CC benefits for Scoot, I am loving scoot even more....

Not sure what happen to Ningxia night market on Sunday during my recent trip in Nov... They now only operate on 1 side of the road... last time I go is operate 2 side on that 1 big road....

And my chicken skewer stall never operate there or not open on Sunday....

Anyone has insight on what's happening? hahaha,,, else I am going to strike them out from my NM list on next trip....

For me I pay a bit more for China Airline , cause scoot seat and legroom not suitable for me , due to my size

by the way, what are the UOB KF CC benefit ? I have never received any promo tied up from them before .

How about 2 weeks before CNY ? Travelling on 25/01 . I want to enjoy the CNY atmosphere there but don’t want the crowd

Not as bad.
Of course the peak will be Thursday before the Chinese new year, all will be traveling all around.

China Airline has better legroom?

 

[Duapui-ti]

China Airline has better legroom?

Better than scoot I think, also the plane I flew back from Taipei was relatively new and the service and food not bad .

Earlier on CI was using the 320neo plane which was newer. But to cater to the higher volume, they have now switched to using the bigger but older 330.

basically it give the cardholder complimentary standard seat selection, whole ticket group to have board me first, priority check in via scootplus counter, free $15 grabcar voucher to airport OR from airport (1 voucher per half of year), additional free check in baggage... And free booking flexibility waiver...

1st time I no need to queue 30 mins to drop off my baggage in Taoyuan...

Ningxia is so crowded. Won't go there this trip.

Exactly... and if u went to Ningxia before covid, the NM is actually 2 lane meaning got stalls lining outside of family mart...

now dun have... only centre 1 lane to squeeze with everyone...

Hmm... This is how it was precovid. I dun remember having another row of stalls. The nm has actually expanded onto the main road, where the famous ah puo fan tuan is located.
