I will be landing in taoyuan airport at about 6am. But I'm not sure how long it'll take to go to each location. Hmmm....

Assuming u clear custom at 630 then bus to Taipei Main Station(About 45mins) and board the 8am taroko express(If you can book the tickets in advance) for Hualien, u will reach at like 10.20am..So seriously, u probably have time for 1/2 day taroko tour..

Have you had a look at the map where these 2 cities are located?

Private or public transport? You need driving directions? Google map will do the job.
