Hello!

May I ask for help in creating an itinerary? Planning to go to Taiwan with kids. No definite dates yet but may I know how many days ideally do we need to cover the following spots/places? We don't want a rushed pace so we can limit 2-3 spots per day. Please suggest which attractions can be done together per day/area.

Here are the places/activities that we are interested in:
Chiang Kai Shek Memorial
Din Tai Fung and Starbucks Coffee at Taipei 101
Hiking at Elephant Mountain (view of Taipei 101)

Taipei Zoo
Maokong Gondola

Shifen
Jiufen

Hualein - Taroko Gorge

Fo Guang Shan Monastery in Kaoshiung
Lotus Pond in Kaoshiung


Pa-help naman on how to group these attractions. And with this itinerary, where is the best place to find a hotel? Preferrably near train stations sana.

Thanks so much for those who can provide advice/inputs.

Our Itinerary from our last Trip in Taiwan 2 weeks ago.

Day1:
Janguo Flower Market
Carrefour Grocery
Ximending

Day2:
Yehliu Diy Bus
National Taiwan University
Gongguan Market
Raohe Night Market

Day3:
National Palace
Ketagalan Cultural Center
Beitou Hotspring Museum (closed)
Thermal Valley
Shillin Night Market
Ximending

Total Budget All In: 22k for 2 pax
Actual Expense: 17k for 2 pax

Travel Tips:
1.Touchdown Taipei Airport may kumausap samin ng Taxi 500NT for both door to door. Grab na namin opportunity kesa mag bus kami and Taxi

2. Ximending- Crowded place pero may night market, street foods, Performance. Good place to be pag youth vibe ang hanap.

3. We stayed in Diary Hotel Wanguo sobrang ganda ng location kasi action area na kagad sa ximending. Though walang lobby na pwede tumambay habang naghihintay ng flight. They do have breakfast coupon sa KFC everyday.

4. Wifi Rental- We rent wifi via IVideo. Sobrang laking tulong samin kasi we where able to ride a bus or mrt na hindi kami naligaw. Accurate ang timing ng bus, fare Via Google Maps lang.

5. Easy Card- Compute ko kung hindi ako bibili at mag mrt 25nt usually per way. Pero kung I have easy card tapos bus ako 15NT lang. Mas convenient and cheaper samin ang bus. So Yung difference is Easy Card price hindi ko na rin binalik yung card mismo. Plus reloadable siya sa 7 eleven so going to back to airport nag tap nalang kmi using easy card. As well as some taxi yan din gamit.


Hindi umulan nung nasa taipei kami and sobrang relax ng Itinerary namin kaya nag enjoy talaga ako.

Just got back from our Taiwan trip. So happy we were able to experienced early bloom of cherry blossoms with less crowd. Kaya we took our time took lotsa of pictures.

[ohcmon]

Just got back from our trip. Sarap nang weather sa Taiwan! Ang mahal lang nang palitan sa Taoyuan airport, though. 1:2 ang NTD to PHP. Mas mura pa sa NAIA kasi 1.9 lang.

[resme]

How's the weather in taiwan? Super lamig po ba? And ask ko din po if saan meron ng cherry blossoms? We're arriving feb. 4 and staying until feb. 7.. Hindi pa complete itinerary ko..

Try mo sis tong ITI. Kung sa labas lang kayo ng national palace picture taking at konting ikot since sobrang ma stairs dito kaya yung Day3. Sa Garden part kami nagikot ng mom ko since mas wala masyado stairs preggy ako at senior.

Yung day 4 po maluwag mga 2-3pm po kayo makakabalik ng taipei kung mag diy po kayo.

Kung sa ximending po kayo mag stay pwede na rin kayo mag ikot may night market dun.

Day 5: Arrival NAIA

[minaco_aino]

Sis, kung mag Taipei 101 kami sa Day 4 hindi namin sya makikita ng night time? Since may kids kaming kasama, baka balik kami sa hotel ng maaga and may flight kami ng madaling araw. Malapit lang ba sa Ximending area yung Taipei 101?

Kung gusto mo po na gabi pumunta sa taipei 101 ganito nlng po iteninary para saktong gabi mo makita sa taipei 101. Baka mabitin din kasi yung day 3 mo since sobrang mastairs yung national palace. Sa baba lang kami inabot.

Ximending to taipei 101- mga 30 minutes po plus walking since may kids kang kasama. Search ka po sa google maps. Real time po yung travel time nila at arrival ng bus accurate.

[minaco_aino]

Thank you mga sis!

Yun pa lang lantern, sa may Shifen yun, right?

[ms.eya]

Hi, I'll be in Taipei on Feb 21-26 kamusta weather? ok na ba ang Cardigan or super lamig talaga na need mag coat?

Question lang, magkalayo ba ang Zhongshe Flower Market  at Wuling Farm? Please help.

[momlory]

^ Yes po shifen or pingxi old street. Kung plan mo mag yehliu to shifen pwede naman kaso medyo mga 2.5 hours ang byahe kasi every 30 mins to 1 hr ata ang interval ng mga sasakyan.

Mas mabilis kung magbook nalang po kayo ng klook yehliu-jiufen- shifen po yun whole day tour.

[minaco_aino]

^ Yes sis. Planning to book private car for the tour. Pag sa Klook or KKDay kasi parang group tour sya? May meeting place and meeting time. I am always considering my daughters sa umaga hehe.
