I'm going for a packaged tour from 26th to 29th dec with family, but have extended 1 more extra day before and after in taipei. Any suggestion to go near or at taipei for 2 separate days?

check online for the Taipei MRT map and decide from there
shopping is always good for the family, night markets too

there is also a wholesale street called wu fen pu (i think)
lots of kids clothes and street fashion

Ya Wu Fen Pu is wholesale for clothing but during this season which is winter dun know the clothing is it suitable for SG or not.

But can go there @@ @@ if there are good buys. Either can stop by Yu Ren Ma Tou and just shop ard

Will be going to wu fen pu on the last day of the group tour so for the extra day I might not go there again.

Ya, found out the hotel for the extra day on the 30th is 2 min from xi men MRT and located right smack in ximending. So should be spending my time at ximending and at the taiwan museum (courtesy of taiwan tourism board - see earlier posts)

I've been to taipei 2 years ago and found out for myself they mostly see "winter" clothes which is not suitable for SG wear. I'll will consider Yu Ren Ma Tou...need to find out where first.

I contemplated going to "xiao ren guo" but found out its located outside of Taipei and must take 3 trips (MRT > Train > bus)...damn waste time...LoL!

Here are some sample pics from my recent trip to Taipei.

You can use it as reference as to what catches your eye.

Off the city a bit, I'd suggest JiuFen, Yingge or North East Coast
 

hmm ..shifen is nice with the waterfall , if u wan travel to other parts ....alishan , riyuetan, also a nice place to shoot .. or some places like lugang with many temples , xinshe which have many farms esp the lavender farms
 

another tip, once you have booked your tickets

As part of the “2009 Tour Taiwan Year” program, seasonal giveaways / free gifts are given to visitors who purchased air tickets to Taiwan and with hotel booking. The seasonal giveaways / free gifts can be collected at Tourism Bureau’s head office in Taipei city or at the Tourism Bureau’s representative office abroad.

Thanks for the head-up
So i just bring my hotel booking and air tickets there will do?
 

I need help with my taiwan trip planing here. Does anyone been to Mt. Hehuan before. How long will it takes to get to Hualian for there?

I was thinking to include toroko gorge on the way from mt hehuan to hualian. but not sure if the time is enough or not...:sweat:
 

Yu Ren Ma Tou its actually near Dan Shuai Lao Zie,


You could go source it out

it is a river/water front kind of place, located at the river entrance facing ocean, the brigde is longer and higher, look very much like our indoor stadium waterfront bridge, alongside many food and coffee bars, alongside many fishing boats and a fish market centre, there's a coast guard station too.. It is a good place to shoot sunset ! further in is a city with a nite market.

if u love to walk and see, Danshui MRT is accessible.
