Planning my itinerary and have some questions.

a) if i book a driver to drive us from Taipei to Cingjing minsu and plan to spend the whole day touring the nearby attraction (green green grassland, small swiss garden, carton king).
What time must i set off and how long is the journey.
As i intend to spend only one night at the minsu, is it too rush, enough time for the attractions?

b) Next day from Cingjing to Sun Moon Lake/Formosan Village, end the night at taichung hotel.
What time must i set off, is it too rush, enough time for the 2 attraction.

Will take 3hrs+ of driving. https://www.google.com.sg/maps/dir/...22cfb5a1c!2m2!1d121.16394!2d24.058596!3e0!5i1

You'll reach there around noon time if you leave in the morning. Probably enough time to cover all 3 if you hurry. carton king is very small, won't need a lot of time.

Nothing much in Taichung except the Fengjia NM, not worth spending a day there if you have limited time.

Cingjing is very small only, green green grassland can cover in 2 hrs. Swiss garden maybe 1 hr and carton king 30 mins. If u go from taipei in the morning, u can cover everything before night fall and enjoy ur night at the minsu, nothing to do at night.

CJ to SML is very near, if u have a driver, sure can cover that in 1 day, then evening reach taichung can go Fengjia.

taichung has a few places of interests for tourist, but traveling is a pain because no mrt. rainbow village, carton box, lavender cottage, etc.

if u r into shopping and eating, can visit yizhong street in the afternoon and fjnm at night. then next day go up cingjing, but can visit 18c chocolate factory to buy some chocolates and puli brewery to try some wines first.

Sorry to hijack thread.
I'm going Taichung in Oct and planned 4 days 3 nights there.
Is it too much?

Thinking to plan 1 day go Cingjing from Taichung.
Is it possible to just book hotel in Taichung, go Cingjing in the morning and return in the evening?

4 days 3 nights is enough for Taichung, but one day is not enough and tired for Cingjin.
It takes about 2.5(from Taichung Raiway Station)~2H(from HSR Taichung Station)
I would suggest start your trip after lunch and stay one night at Cingjin. Join the Hehuansan sunrise tour and come back after breakfast.
The other days is enough for Taichung attractions.
