Can take the bullet train to Taichung. Very fast and not too expensive. It is about one and half hours. There are lots to see at Taichung so can consider staying one night.

If you are going SML from there there are plenty of buses. Just to to the main bus terminal at Taichung and there are buses to all main destinations. If you are planning to see many places in a day it is advisable to hire a taxi or else just take the public transport.

To all who are planning to go Taiwan, remember to go down to Taiwan Tourist Board at Orchard to claim your free gift. Sometimes they give out free train passes or park entrance tixs. Just need to show proof of travel will do.

Last but not least Taiwan is safe and good to travel. Best to go free and easy. Have a good trip

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!

heehee...Can you recognise this Minsu in Yilan? It is rather popular in Taiwan Idol Show. The website is kot.hotweb.com.tw and booking telephone number +886 911 020 007 There are many Minsu in Yilan. Some are really nice. The only issue is budget.

For Taipei, if it is your 1st time, then I think you can stay at Ximending area or Taipei Main Station. This is where we will be staying ..... http://www.cityinn.com.tw/ But it is probably too late to book for Dec Trip.
You can use http://www.tripadvisor.com/ and see the reviews of different hotels in order to decide where to stay.

We are going to Taiwan for 16 days :moneyflies: in end Nov. F&E. :boogie:

Drama Mama,


Hi! Thanks.

I do want to hire a driver, or two.. so that it is easier to cover more areas. Just that I cannot decide on whom to hire (I have got a few quotations. But they are not the highly popular drivers - who are already booked by now -so I am feeling uncertain about committing.. :scratchhead: )

hello jessielu,


I m going to use public transport. It will be just 3 of us so I think should be manageable and more economical to go by train. Taxi sound very expensive.

To cingjing is 4hours… this is the part i m worried about. How to get there and back to airport.
