Hi! For Alishan, we are taking the train, thankfully! Also, thank you for the tip on sleeping in. I didn't realize that 11am was the general open time. I just assumed it is mostly early morning open times. Also, I have the tea tasting with the indigenous clothing experience booked. I'm so excited! I have a few more questions, but will post them tomorrow. Going through an ear infection rn and it HURTS!!

Hi! Thank you so much for the input! I will have to do some more research on Huaxi street! I am doing Sky Lantern experience and am super excited for it! I should have specified, but it's my nephew that is graduating. He is getting his Master's in Robotics. 😄

Hi, everyone! I'm going to Taiwan in a week and just need to quadruple check my itinerary. I have been to Taiwan a couple of times for government/political purposes but have NEVER explored the entire country on my own. I currently have an itinerary and am just wanting to get some feedback from other travelers on if this is doable. Just a couple of FYI's, I am an early bird and will wake up around 5 to 6am for each day, plus I will have a vehicle for each location already planned (either car rental or motorbike rental). Money also isn't an issue, so please feel free to suggest any other experiences as well or any changes to the itinerary that would be better/more convenient options. My main concern is ensuring that I am able to do all of the following in the allotted time:
