wufenpu is where the wholesale market for ladies clothing, accessories and shoes. If you wanna buy cloth, muz go there see see cos most of the clothes in any part of Taipei comes from there.
Hmmm..the disadv of tour package is shifting, cannot do things own time own target...not suitable for me though but i think is worth to go about and see see look look here and there .....
Hey one more..no ferris wheel.

yup all in taipei....remember...i onli go taipei cos typhoon so never travel anywhere....
Wufenpu is near hoshanpei metro station. that place have abt 1000+ shops (like Holland Village) but shop is smaller and compact. selling clothing/shoes/accesories. Dun visit on Monday cos Monday is for traders and stock checking (infor from my cabby).
Ferris Wheel is at Mirama....not sure how to go there cos my cabby drove me there.

wah, Angeline, i one week plus no log in, you already have ur itinerary all planned out, so fast!
Btw, ask u gals hor, how do u all know what places to visit one huh? Me have no idea at all except those more tourist places like Shilin nite market and Wufenpu. Other than that, no idea at all!

Mitzi,
No lah, i took up a package tour & extend lah.
I lazy to plan my itinerary so might as well take up a package tour lor
My itinerary does not include wufenpu but miht go on my own lor!
YY,
Heard there's a daypass for their MRT ticket, is it true? If yes, so buy daypass is more worth than buying single ticket, rite?

Mitzi,
I plan where i want to go onli when i am in Taipei. Try to plan so that when you travel using Metro is all the way up or travelling all the way down. example, dun try to visit Wufenpu and then want to go TamShui, is not productive this way as most of the time you will be traveliing.
For me, my plan is not to visit those tourist attraction in my F&E days like CKS memorial hall/national palace museum etc so all those i dun plan but cos i have a guided trip able to go some like Ferris Wheel, martyr's shrine.
So my trip is mainly trying to merge into Taiwanese livelihood and esperience their lives also to do shopping.....
Angelin,
I am not sure what is the ticket i bought but is like our ezlink card. NT500 (NT100 deposite and NT400 for travelling). i used about NT300+ for my 7D stay in Taipei and before i leave Taiwan, I return the card and got back deposit. It works just like the EZlink card in Singapore.
Some of the buses accept "EZlink" card so is convientent lor.
When you reached airport, goto the customer / visitor counter to get brochur and maps you may be suprise to see some discount vouchur which may be handy.

Trip is good. Think most important is the tour guide...both the local n taiwan tour guide is good. Food & hotel provided by them is also acceptable. A lot of time spend on the coach cos travelling from one place to another usually takes at least more than an hour except for travelling within taipei. The worst is 2nd n 3rd days, ie to Hualien...if i remember correctly, it take abt 5 hours but of course the coach does stop for a while a long the way.
Everyday is like rushing from places to places and leave the hotel abt 7.30am. This cannot be avoided cos our itinerary is touring the whole taiwan. I still enjoyed veri much though hv to get up veri early everday.
On the sixth day, we reached hotel abt 4pm n then is free & easy time. Take this opportunity to go to the nite market again cos we were not given much time to roam around when brought there by the tour guide.

My itinerary is the same as your before you post the changes on Day 2 & Day 4...so sorry that cant give you any advise on the CIJIN Island. The extra nite is only for certain departures day...r u flying by China Airline? Mine is by CX but without extra nite.
on your extra day, you might want to find out whether can travel to Alishan, can also go wufenpu.
Be prepared to bring extra bags if you intend to buy things...i bought lots of food stuff...hehe.
Do u take Royal Jelly? The tour guide will bring you to a shop that sells that n dun worry abt the quality.. it can be trusted. I regret din buy the facial scrub..

Heard from the tour guide Alishan is nice. u might want to check with Hong Thai or try to surf the NET to find out more.
I spend abt $1500. Bought food stuffs (costs a bomb), clothes and 4 pairs of shoes and bags. The Royal Jelly that i bought is for consumption and cost $375. Tried the scrub on my hand and can see it is fairer.

Angeline,
Dance Performance by the A-Mei Zu. After the performance, they will invite the audience to join in the dance n photo taken. Afterwhich, they will sell u the photo.
Really relax at the Yangming shan tienlai hot spring...was given 1 1/2 hr there. Anyway, not advisable to 'soak' too long in the hot spring...abt 20mins will do. Pls remember to bring swimwear and swim cap. if u dun hv swim cap, keep the shower cap provided in the hotel and use that. Do also bring along a small bag to put your swimwear etc when gg to the hot spring.
Taroko gorde is more of seeing the rushing river water cut through the marble and granite. we din stopped long over there.
Chiufen: can buy food stuffs there and walk along the stretch of shops. nice scenery. try the yam ball..

Yup, the tour guide gif us 1 1/2 hour. actually not veri long..when u reach there, u need to change and after that need to bath. They have indoor and outdoor. I went for the outdoor...for unisex.

Hi idono, replied to ur msg.
sorry was MIA for a while, too busy to pop in here.
Angeline, nothing much for the love river cruise, juz a boat ride along the river.
hobby mambo is juz a place to sit by and have drinks. something similar to our boat quay but quieter. Cijin island is where u take a ferry across to another nearby small little island, there's a park near the sea front with some structures.
