Travel: Taiwan - Taipei

[jo.010813ong]

Hi everyone, I would like to bring my family (2 old folks, 2 kids - 7 & 8 years old) to vist Taipei in Dec and would love to find out how to maximise a 5D4N trip. It’s my first time heading to Taiwan. Most of the travel package required to stay and change hotel every day. Although we would like to cover as many interesting places, doesn’t like the idea of the touch n go feeling.


I have intention to stay 2 nights ideally at Flying Cow Ranch and 2 nights at Taipei, hopefully able to cover Leo Foo Village… I believe Jiufen is close to Taipei as well…

Would appreciate if anyone can share with me your itinerary.

Many thanks!

Hi! Can anyone recommend a good minsu to stay in Yilan and a convenient place to stay in Taipei, preferably near to railway station? Thanks!

I have stayed at Rothenberg Lodge and Dahou minsu in yilan last dec. both conveniently located near the traditional arts centre and the Luodong town. Rothenberg is beautifully built and furnished, owned by a very friendly and helpful couple who made our stay a very enjoyable one. This minsu was also featured in a travel documentary hosted by Felicia Chin years ago.

I will be going to Taiwan in December and there will be a total of 4 adults and 2 children - 7, 8 yrs old.


Is it better (more cost effective) to take a 7-seater cab or to travel on public transport?

Anybody knows the weather in Taiwan during end Nov to beginning of Dec. Does it rain a lot and is it cold. Is wearing cardigan good enough? Thank you.
