Travel: Taiwan - Taipei

[winth]

Hi,


You can go to Wu Lai if you’re in Taipei.

Just take one of their buses.

You can go for their 泡澡 when you’re there. Very cheap! One room to yourself and DH, with unlimited timing. Then just walk walk around there to enjoy the fresh air and scenic view.

九份 is very nice too. Think just take the MRT then take a bus in. Loads of cafeterias and interesting souvenir shops there.

Thanks to all for replying. It seems tough for us to get free redemption tkts to Taiwan so we decided to do China this time round as I happened to be there for biz and already confirmed the redemption tkts for hubby.


But thanks for your invaluable advice. Will definitely refer to this when we plan our Taiwan trip probably next year.

Original Title: China or Taiwan for a free and easy trip with a child?


Want my 8 year old daughter to experience her first overseas trip this hols. I have been to Taiwan but not China. Should I bring her to the cities or the suburbs?

Having book air tickets or done anything. Not sure whether should stay put in Singapore or go somewhere.

More for her to see the \"world\". please share your thoughts.

Thanks!

When I brought my kids to Taiwan. They were not interested in the sight-seeing and shopping in the city. However, they liven up when they saw the padi fields and farm animals in the countryside. :whut: I think it's cos they love to see something different. Have a nice trip.

I doubt my boys would enjoy the sightseeing or shopping in the city area. That's why we are doing a free & easy. Would be planning a farm stay with a chance to see snow.

Hi All,


Advisable to join group tour to Taiwan ot just free & easy? Heard many people said F&E in Taiwan is quite easy. Would a 4-5 day trip sufficient to stay in Taiwan?

Hi there,


My husband and I are planning to bring our 2 boys (5 & 3yo) to taiwan next Tue for 2 weeks. Any idea of some fun places that the kids can enjoy?

Musuems? Theme Parks?...

Not sure what is to your liking. Our family travelled (self drive) to Taiwan when the boys were about 3 & 5 and had a good time at the farm resort at YiLan, and Taroko Gorge, then drove over the He Huan mountains and stayed at Qing Jing (another farm there) and to Sun-Moon lake.

Around Taipei, moving around by public transport is easy, and people are friendly. Went up to Yeliu and WuLai (?) for the hotsprings.

Didn't go to the theme park though, but i heard some people like it.

Cheers,
Chubby

Thanks Simple

Ya...farm stay would be good experience for boys. Will look into these farm resorts and see if we can go to any cos we're flying off this afternoon liao.

My DH will be having meeting from 5-8 Feb, so we'll not be able to do much during those times, but will explore more before and after.

Keep the input coming and I'll try to access them in TWN!

Shalom!
