Blessed Homemaker:

How old are your kids? How about Taipei Zoo? It is big and admission is cheap. After the zoo, you can take the maokong gondola which is just beside. Have a cup of Chinese tea and enjoy the scenery.

1. Yingge (pottery town) + Shanxia old street
2. Xin Beitou (hot springs) + Danshui
3. Bitan + Wulai
4. Yangmingshan

Hi there,


I stayed in Caesar Park Hotel @ Taipei during CNY with my 2 kids.
The rooms are pretty new and the location is good..:)

Just Sleep hotel at Ximending is not bad. Stayed there last Dec. It is just across Ximending shopping area. Rooms are are new and clean but breakfast so-so.

I paid about $200 per nite for 4 of us in a double bed room (2 queen sizes bed), but thats the rate for CNY day 1 to 4. Thus, I do not know whats the current rate. There are lots of shops below and no difficulties looking for food. The mrt is also right below too.

We only visited Bitan as my daughter was running a fever on that day. It's more like a local attraction as we saw many renting the paddle boats. If you like hot springs, I read in TA that Wulai offers cheaper alternative as compare to YMS and Xin Beitou.


Again, we didn't have a chance to visit Yingge and Sanxia old street because of the wet weather. But we'll be going again this Nov.

My gf recommends this place for farmstay in Taoyuan - 綠光森林富野綿羊牧場 (http://www.furano.com.tw/). I've not stayed there before so can't comment.

Is it better to stay in service apartment than in hotel in taipei? Any experience to share? Any recommendation? Thanks much in advance!

You will find food option aplenty. And there are laundry places in cities. So you really do not need service appartment, which is limited in Taiwan.
We stay in B&B or \"local hotel\" privately operated and car mortels. Great experience. You can check out my blog for my 14-day round the island trip.
