hi the_dreamer,
Magkano quote sa iyo? Sa akin 3.5k NTD for the 8 hr Taipei to Yehliu/Jiufen/Shifen...then 7.5k NTD for the 12 hr Taipei to Taichung (Zhongshe/Xinshe/Lavender) tour. kung galing sa Taichung HSR station, 6.5k NTD. Ok na ba ang price nya? 2 adults and 1 baby kami.

3500 is ok. May nag post na 4K ang offer sa kanya for 8 hours, too expensive na, unless van ang vehicle... but I doubt kasi ang rate ng vans usually nasa 5K NTD for 8 hours.

kidcivic · « **Reply #162 on:** October 23, 2018, 10:34:11 am »

^thanks. Magkano kaya ang reasonable rate for Taichung tour?

the_dreamer · « **Reply #163 on:** October 23, 2018, 01:15:35 pm »

@kidcivic
4K ang quote nya sa kin for Yehliu, Jiufen and Shifen. 3 lang kami. Yun Northeast Taipei Daytrip A yun tinanong ko sa kanya.
- Yehliu Ecology Park
- Jiufen old street
- Jinguashi gold mining town
- Shifen waterfall
- Shifen - sky lantern (own cost)
- Ninsha night market

Yun sa Taichung clarify ko pa sa kanya. Kasi 4K din sabi nya from Taipei.

I missed the hot springs, tamsui, tainan and taichung. Were they worth visiting?

Girls, let me know you need a super nice, and cute driver in Taichung. May kilala ako. But don't tell him that I said he was cute ha! hahahahaha nakakahiya. Sabi ng mom ko ang gwapo daw ng driver namin hahahahaha (cute siya mag.side view hahaha) pero di photogenic, speaks English well too, hindi malakas ang chinese accent like Singlish.

Mga sis, hingi naman po ng # ng driver sa Taichung, half day tour lang naman kami. Thanks!

Kamusta ang weather pag end of November? Super lamig ba? Carry na ba ang cardigans?

7galleons · « **Reply #166 on:** October 28, 2018, 11:56:59 pm »

^Depende saan sa Taiwan.

We went there end of November last year. Sa Taichung umabot ng 15C. Naka-bubble jacket na yung ibang taiwanese. Kami naman naka-coat lang.

Sa taipei naman mas mainit sa umaga/tanghali. Malamig sa gabi. May dala lang kaming light jacket.

May nakapag-try na ba sa inyo matulog sa airport? Hindi kasi kami nag-book ng hotel on our arrival kasi naka-ilang palit na si cebpac ng flight namin until sa naging alanganin na ang dating namin. Been looking sa mga blogs and websites pero hindi na updated yung iba. May nakita naman friend ko na lounge nung nag-layover siya pero para sa mga layover passengers lang yun. Di rin naman siya nakalabas sa area para maka-ikot maigi. TIA!

curlylass · « **Reply #168 on:** October 29, 2018, 12:42:38 pm »

^never tried pero nung palabas kami ng airport, dami naman nagsesleep dun sa may lounge area sa arrival. Sabi ko nga kay bf nun try din namin magsleep kaso takot sya kasi baka daw di kompurtable. Pero nung nakita nya yung mga nagsisleep dun sa airport, keri lang naman daw pala.

mariz11 · « **Reply #169 on:** October 30, 2018, 01:31:30 pm »

^Sis pagkalabas lang talaga ng arrival? Super lamig ba?

curlylass · « **Reply #170 on:** October 30, 2018, 05:35:58 pm »

^Yup! Kaso maliit lang and unahan din. Not sure kung malamig pag October-December, siguro? Kasi chilly na yung mga April e. Super lamig pag January-February tho.

mariz11 · « **Reply #171 on:** October 31, 2018, 08:16:31 am »

^Naku po. Nagpapahuli pa man din kami labas ng plane kapag ganyan. Tsktsk. Amazing race pala ito. Nakaka-stress hahaha!

Another question. Currently fixing our itinerary. Pa-help naman with this:

Day 0   - ETA TPE 1:00am
Day 1   - Airport to Taipei City   (express train from T2)
        Drop bags at accom or rent locker in the station
        City Tour
         Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall
         Presidential Building
         National Palace Museum
         Lunch   PS Bubu
      Check in or continue city tour
         Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall
         Taipei 101
         Elephant Mountain
         Shilin Night Market

Day 2   - Meteor Garden Shooting Locations:
         National Chung Cheng University
        Ximending Youth Shopping District
        Raohe Street Night Market

Day 3   - Check out (Leave bags at accom or rent locker)
         Yehliu Geopark Tour (whole day) via klook
         Huahsi (or Huaxi) Night Market
        Taipei City to Airport

Saan kaya namin pwede isingit yung Taichung and Shifen diyan? Kasi worried ako sa Taichung 2hrs drive tapos nabasa ko na mahirap kumuha ng taxi. 2 lang kami so any joiners if ever? hahaha! Very short ang visit namin kasi mahalya. Non-negotiable sana ang NCCU, Taichung at Shifen. Or parang hindi feasible? Naguguluhan na ako. TIA mga sis!

curlylass · « **Reply #172 on:** October 31, 2018, 06:04:00 pm »

^naku, very wrong yung pahuli-huli sa plane. Hahaha! Tried that nung first time namin sa Taipei. Grabe, 2 hrs kami nakapila sa immigration. Dami kasi laman ng plane ng cebupac tapos may mga kasabay pa.

For Shifen, di ba kasama yun sa Yehliu tour? Nag-DIY kasi kami dati, Yehliu->Shifen->Jiufen->Raohe Night market. Di pa ko nakakapunta dun sa NCCU.

Pretty_aye · « **Reply #173 on:** November 01, 2018, 10:25:34 am »

Anyone tried Shifen, Jiufen only. And possible ba na around 11am start from main station since gusto ko kasi medyo 5pm sa Jiufen.

tia

mamy_maldy · « **Reply #174 on:** November 01, 2018, 02:28:09 pm »

Just got back from Taipei. Super chilly sya lalo na sa gabi. Mga tao naka trench coat. Yung iba bubble jacket. Depende ron siguro kung lamigin ka. Sabi ng anak ko parang naka aircon [textspeak!]. Lamigin kasi ako e.

bluewingedangel · « **Reply #175 on:** November 02, 2018, 02:29:12 am »

May mga idea po ba kayo sa weather pag first week of May? Mainit na po ba yun or maulan? Nag aayos pa kami ni hubby ng itinerary. Gusto sana namin makapunta dun sa area na maraming flowers kaya lang parang ang mahal naman ng taxi 2 lang kami. Yung napapanood namin sa youtube or yung nababasa namin parang malayo ata kung DIY from Taipei. Share naman po dyan ng tips. Thanks in advance.

pret_ty68 · « **Reply #176 on:** November 02, 2018, 10:32:08 am »

^Nung pumunta ako nang may parang kagaya lang nang weather dito sa atin pag summer.

Out of courtesy sa ibang nagmamadali haha ayaw namin nakikipagbalyahan lalo na if sa dulo kami nakaupo.

Yes if we avail of the tour. Sige we'll avail the tour na lang. So yung NCCU (Ying De University sa Meteor Garden) na lang ang problema saka Taichung. Mahirap ito ah. Haha!

curlylass · « **Reply #178 on:** November 02, 2018, 10:01:16 pm »

^True. Lagi pa naman nagmamadali mga tao palabas ng plane. 😂Lagi din kami nagpapahuli sa plane pero kahit ganun, nauuna parin kami sa immig kasi ang bagal nila maglakad and nagpipicture-picture pa sila. Nakakadala lang talaga yung 5am na kami nakarating sa hostel namin noon sa sobrang tagal namin nakapila. Kaloka!

wuvshoe · « **Reply #179 on:** November 03, 2018, 04:03:49 pm »

For those asking about tours, the driver I know (Pinoy-Taiwanese, speaks Tagalog) has whole day rates for up to 6-7 adults.

Example: starting point, your location in Taipei:

Northeast NT4k
Yehliou
UFO (abandoned)
Shifen waterfalls
Shifen old st. (release of lantern)
Elephant trunk rock
Golden waterfalls
Yinyang sea
13 layer
Jiufen

If at least 6pax kayo, worth it yung rates nya. Otherwise, DIY is best
