Re: Visiting Taiwan THREAD III

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ Nov2-7 kami! i'm starting to firm up our itinerary na, hopefully this week e matapos ko na. Though my rough draft naman na ako. Kelangan ko ng medyo flexi itinerary kasi me kasama kami toddler and senior hehe.

Anybody na naka-try mag rent ng car in Taipei? Any feedback? We plan on renting for one day lang naman, pag pupunta kami ng Keelung.

[blue-purple]

^mag ka lapit tayo kami for Juifen - Shifen balak lang namin mag rent ng Taxi from Ruifang Train Station
Mas ok nga kung mag rent na lang kayo ng car if madami and may bata and senior

Hay sana mag open yung ibang sites sa Taroko andaming close lately

Anyone here tried going to Pingxi District na in Taiwan?

[kenoy]

Please help. I'm trying to answer the visa application form.

1. Can I put NONE sa portions that are not applicable to me? Limited lang kasi yung characters ng iba, so hindi kasya yung NOT APPLICABLE, or can I just leave it blank.
2. What should I put the the portion DETAILS OF YOUR CONTACT IN TAIWAN? I was thinking yung hotel na lang ulit, kaso humihingi ng ROC ID. Can I just also put none? Wala naman talaga akong kakilala don.

Thanks in advance.

Maulan ba kapag June/July sa Taipei? Balak ko bumalik mag-isa lol. Yun yung nakasale sa Cebu Pacific ngayon kasi hehe.

[choco_loka]

Sorry long time no visit! Will try to answer some questions:

@runbarbierun
June-Aug is the peak of summer. Sobrang init and humid. Better siguro if before May or Sept. onwards.

@cl1995
Hmm I'm not too sure. But try to secure an entry permit/travel certificate online using your transit visa number, https://niaspeedy.immigration.gov.tw/nia_southeast/

@ayami
I would suggest taking the train from Taipei to Hualien early morning, around 7am. The trip takes around 2 hours. You can then rent a cab for the whole day pagdating niyo sa Hualien. Siguro prepare to pay NT2500-NT3500. Taxis can fit around 6 people pag yung Toyota Wish yung gamit.

@this_is_me
you mean Yilan? It's around 1.5-2 hours by bus. May bus available sa Taipei Main Bus Station or Taipei City Hall Bus Station.

@huit
This year's lantern festival will be on Feb 11.

Hi Girls!
Anyone going to to Taiwan this Feb? First timer and no firm plans yet but planning to attend the lantern festival in Pingxi. If anyone have the same plans I'm open to sharing transpo, etc.

[ayami]

@choco_loka thanks sis Nagpareserve na kami online may nakita kami from Trip Advisor.

Sayang pala di namin aabutan yung Lantern festival. 2 weeks later pa trip namin.

[shielala]

Anyone here na nagtravel using evisa? May iba pa bang hiningi yung immigration or wala naman problema?

[lg34]

Hi sis! my husband and I will also be attending Pingxi lantern festival, according sa napagtanungan kong mga fb page ng taiwan travels wala daw available tour for that festival.. actually yung pagpunta dun mukhang doable naman yung pauwi lang concern ko, kasi mahirap daw magcommute pabalik ng Taipei kasi madami daw talagang tao.. so yun i still don't know what to do, will leave na on 07th feb, baka you can also share your IT. hehe..

[kachich]

^Hi Sis! Were planning on doing a weekend trip just for the pingxi lantern festival. We haven't made any arrangements yet. If you will be renting/booking a taxi, maybe we can split? There will be two of us, we will be arriving Feb 11, 1am in Taiyuan.
