Hi


Appreciate very much if anyone could share with me their itinararies or interesting places which we should cover on our trip to Taiwan this November (2A + 1 8YO).

It is going to be a 12 days trip. We r planning to just book a 2-3 nights accomodation in Taipei for the 1st few days and check out the hotels/ minsu when we r there. Is that advisable? Btw, any recommendation of minsu at Hua-lien?

Thanks in advance.

titank,

I’ve already replied you. In case you missed it, here it is again.


野柳 - some rock formation along coastal area.
九份 - depends on your children. But I think it will be a good experience for mine.
金瓜石 - scenic area
基隆庙口 - they do have a night market

Basically if you book a driver, they very much cover the same route. Price range from NT3000-NT5000 for day trip.

淡水 + 地熱谷 - Danshui Mrt and Xin Beitou Mrt
忠烈祠 - this is to see the change of guards ceremony

---------------
Edit to add. To go Danshui Lao Jie, take Mrt to Danshui Line, alight at Danshui. To go 地熱谷, change Mrt at Beitou station to Xin Beitou.

Oops, sorry :imsorry:
didnt mean to mislead anyone.
Baby Boss is indeed inside a shopping mall ( shdnt say themepark)
It is full of activities for children ( i think 4 -7 shd enjoy it, 3 maybe too young). My kids went inside the aeroplane ( huge one) dressed up as pilots to the cockpit, take taxi rides, play music instruments in a band parade, ride on fire engine truck to fight fire, act as dentist & doctors to check patients, find clues to solve crimes as policemen, eat their homemade pizzas & doughnuts after playing chefs etc etc.
We spent almost the whole day there...but didnt finish all the different roles ie magicians, astronaut ...if u still have time can give it a try .... :please:
