squashy Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Enjoy your trip.I enjoyed mine last Dec.Told myself I gotta go back every year. LOL! Quote
Coolbriz Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 hi just my personal opinion. I actually booked a private transport with the local there and I get to travel to many places fast and that spares me a lot more time to do what I want. I noticed that when I was at Jiufen, there are so many people queuing up for the public buses and if you intend to do so, you got to cater more time allowance for the waiting and travelling. The pros of hiring private transport is that our itinerary can be flexibly customised and of course the cons of it is that you might have to pay a bit more. If you are travelling in a group of 3-4, I think hiring private transport is a good choice and especially if you intend to cover many places. I booked my private transport as I wanted to cover Taipei and Taichung in 8 days. Well, it certainly does not help much with regulars who revisit Taiwan so frequently as they have become so acquainted with the spots that they like to visit and they do not need to cover so many places any more. Have fun and enjoy your trip Quote Be cool, like a breeze...
squashy Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Haha, yes definitely. Hiring a cab would save the hassle but the $$$ depends on the pax traveling together. hi just my personal opinion.

abang Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Before you go to Jifen, watch Tony Leung's "悲情城市“。2 years ago when I was attending the Taipei Pride Weekend, I made a visit to Yeliu and Jiufen on the same day.I caught a bus from Taipei Station (it was about NT100) to Yeliu. Admission charges was NT50..the place was filled with funky-shaped limestone and of course, the infamous Egyptian Queen rock...a word of advice, go early before the hordes of tourists... From Yeliu, I took a public bus to Ruifang before boarding the bus to Jiufen. As it was a weekday, the bus was not crowded. I lingered around the village for a while before going to the next destination, the defunct Gold Mine (金瓜石). If you havent been to those in Melbourne, then this is worth a visit. The return journey was slightly different. I took the slow train back to Taipei station from Ruifang. The journey lasted an hour. If there is a place where you may want to spend a day or more, I recommend Hualien. There is a train that departs in the morning...the view along the Eastern Shoreline is breathtaking... Upon reaching Hualien, take the local tour bus to the Gorge.I like nature so I did have a good time there. If time permits, stay overnight if not, move on to Taitung (another couple of hours in the train)....The aquarium is worth visiting.. and tell your friends that you've been to A*mei 老家! Quote

Qatch Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I've been asked by my boss to clear my leave so I'm looking for someone or 2 to travel within these 2 months. Main aim is to find someone to share costs and help each other if needed. Do not mind having different plans if our general route is the same and we can share accommodation and all. I'll prefer to travel out of Asia. Drop me a note and we can discuss Quote
