Taiwan 9N8D Trip

[getsourmuffins]

Hello! Currently planning for my Taiwan Trip.. Some feedbacks please

D1: Hua Lien
D2: Hua Lien
D3: Cingjing??? Not sure if it's worth it to go?
D4: Taipei
D5: Jiu fen + Ping Xi
D6: Taipei
D7: Taipei
D8: Taipei
D9: Home sweet home

Arriving in the early wee hours on Day 1. Is it advisable to visit Hualien right away or should I stay at Taipei first? Main concern is the baggage because I'm probably booking airbnb and they don't provide luggage storage so I must lug my luggage all the way from Taipei to Hualien if I were to visit Hualien in D$. But if I were to stay in hotel, they will usually provide baggage service?

And 2 days in Hualien is it too much?

2 days in Hualien is okay..

My last trip i arrive via scoot early in the morning, took 7+ am TRA and arrive at Bayview Hualien about 10am..Wash up abit, left my backpack there and went cycling..Came back, check in and took a short nap..Night time went night market..Next day book 1 day tour of Taroko, end with night market..

Your luggage might be a problem, as for me i backpack during that trip..

If you planning to go CJ from Hualien, u need a driver..After that u probably have to head to Taichung before going Taipei..

What we usually suggest is,

D1: Go Taichung immediately after touch down, spend a night here..
D2: Take the earliest bus up to CJ and spend a night here
D3: Book a driver, go for sunrise followed by Taroko then go ur accommodation and stay for 1N
D3: Can cycle abit if u planning to stay around the seafront, if not check out to go Taipei
D4-D8: Taipei
D9: SG

Thanks! But is it worth spending 2 day in Cingjing + Taichung? Or should I just skip CJ and Taichung completely and spend extra day in TPE?

Depends on what you want. There is nothing much to do in CJ. Only got a few attractions, the biggest one being green green grassland. most of the time people go CJ to chill.

TC gives you a different city perspective compared to Taipei. It is more chaotic, but still has its charm. I especially like FJNM compared to the Taipei night markets.

Ok.. Edited my plan. Am gonna skip Taichung and CJ cause my luggage is quite a burden and i think the trip should be more relaxing instead of squeezing so many places together..

D1: Hualien
D2: Taroko one day tour + end off with night market
D3: Depart to Jiufen/Shifen/Yeliu that area. Stay one night there.
D4 ~ D9: Taipei

Would this be better?

How are you going from Hualien to Yehliu/Jiufen/Shifen?

Suggest you go back to Taipei from Hualien, next day get a driver to do a day trip to Yehliu/Jiufen/Shifen. Since you also don't want to be lugging your bags everywhere.

D3 can only be done if you got a driver from ruifang to bao whole day.
