【TAIWAN 台灣】7D6N TAIWAN ITINERARY & THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW


Most of the people would visit Taiwan again and again, I was really curious what are the things that lure them back to Taiwan. So...here I am.

Weather


 Autumn season! Best season to travel in Taiwan because of less rain and clear sky. I was in Taiwan from 13th Nov to 19th Nov. It wasn't cold except for Alishan and Cing Jing. The weather was mostly sunny, hot on certain days but chilly at night, walking on a night market without sweating is the best!

We were so lucky that there were no rains during our trip except for the last two days, it drizzled a bit towards the end of the day so it doesn't really affect our trip.

Things to bring

  • International charger
  • Insects repellent (Be aware of black mosquitoes)
  • Umbrella or Poncho 
  • Sunscreen

Luggage storage

The lockers are available at most of the train stations. We stored our luggage at Taipei Main Station luggage locker after our hotel check out on the last day, we then traveled freely around Taipei since our flight was at 11pm. 

Largest locker: TWD50 per every 3 hours

To all the beauty junkies!

SALES everywhere?! There are a few choices where you can shop till drop for the beauty products. Make sure to compare the prices among the stores because one store might be carrying great deals that the other is not.

Drugstore: Cosmed, Tomod's, Watson
Beauty Store: 86 Shop, Little three 小三美日

7-11

Our most visited place...because they have the best sausages here! It's just too good. Other than that, they have a wide variety of food.

            國父紀念館 - 台北101 - 西門町 - 台灣桃園國際機場

We traveled from a county to another mostly at night so we could have a full day to tour around. However, we missed out the beautiful scenery because of the early sunset, the sky was completely dark.

Tips / Notes:

1. As mentioned in my previous post here , you can get a Taipei round trip for this Itinerary instead of a one way trip.

2. Because it's autumn season, the sunset was around 5pm everyday! Adjust your itinerary carefully, this wasn't in my consideration & therefore there was some last minute changes.

3. Check the opening hours!
We skipped Yuyupas on Day 2 because it closed at 4.30pm. Should have visited Yuyupas before heading to Fenchihu Old Street. We also skipped JiuFen on Day 6, if we were to depart early or skip Yehliu Geopark, we might able to make it. Besides, Tamsui Night Market closed at 10.30pm, all shops were closed when we arrived. Should go to Raohe Night Market instead.

4. I would prefer to take a chartered car private tour to tour around taipei-yehliu-shifen-jiufen for the next trip. This way we could visit more places & save more time.
