Travel: Taiwan - Taipei

[Zenga]

Hi,


Would appreciate advice on transport and itinerary for my Taiwan trip with my family in Oct.

We have booked the Scoot flight to Taiwan for family of 4.

1) We will reach Tao yuan airport at around 6 am Sun.
2) Reservation for Flying Cow Ranch has been made for Sun and Monday. We are thinking of having our breakfast at the airport and arrange with Flying Cow Ranch to pick us up at 9 am. Journey around 1.5 to 2 hr (will it be tough for my 2 kids 4 and 6 years old)
3) We will checkout of Flying Cow Ranch on Tue and proceed to Taipei using Flying Cow Transport. Journey around 2 to 2.5 hour
4) We are thinking of staying in Caesar Hotel but like the earlier poster said, it is quite run down. Dunno whether to book Caesar hotel. Maybe can go Taipei 101?
5) We intend to go Xiao Ren Guo on Wed, please advise what is the easiest way to go there
6) On Thurs we will go Baby Boss, taking cab?
6) On Fri we will do sight seeing in Taipei, any recommendation
7) On Sat Check out and take cab to Tao-Yuan Airport.

Can someone help to explain the Transportation System in Taipei

Example Railway Administration (is it their MRT)


Thanks and appreciate your help and response.

I have the flying cow ranch on my itinerary too… Still thinking what’s the best way to get there… anyone stayed at flying cow ranch hotel/resorts before? worth the stay? I’m not really a countryside person and would prefer to stay in the city but if the place is really worth staying, might consider to do so for my daughter to experience staying in a different environment…

zenga, not sure if your kids will feel tired travelling on the road after the night flight.. maybe can let them rest for a day at taipei first before going on a 2-3 hr road journey.. just my personal opinion.


seems to me that the flying cow ranch shuttle bus transport service is a little expensive.. can't remember how much but I recently enquired and thought it's quite expensive.. wondering if it's cheaper to take taxi, hire a driver or take their shuttle bus service.. hmm

Thanks princesskaris. What do u think if I try the Hsr? Will it be faster and less tiring for the kids?

Hi

Anyone knows how to book accommodation at Leo Foo village. Is it worth the price to stay one night there?

Hi,


How do you pack if you need to travel from county to county?
Can the bus accomodate big luggage?
