Finalised My Dec Taiwan trip

This coming December we decided to travel to Taiwan again....after skipping it last year to Japan. But we think it's time to revisit ROC again (The 6th or 7th time...i also lost count le).

Saved some $$ by booking in advance the new JeatStar Asia saver package. We are travelling in end Dec 18-28 so it is expected to be very packed. In the past used to pay $700+ each for travelling in SIA but now with the budget airline available, the air ticket only cost $450 including taxes. So we save $1K on the air ticket alone.

Have been wanting to visit Ali-Shan mountains for quite afew occassions but either the plan is stalled due to Typhoon or the high cost of booking due to last minute arrangement. This time I decided to do the bookings early and went through MICE of Chan Brothers to get the details done.

Other than te 2 days stay in the mountains, the rest of the tour are free n easy and we are very familiar with the train system so move from town to town. Will be visiting afew new towns as we saw the Taiwanese TV program introductions. Will be trying out the high speed train too!! From Taipei to Jia Yi now takes only 90mins and cost $65...cool and affordable!!


Here are my planned schedule :

Day 1 : Sing-- Taipei : Shiling night mart
Day 2 Taipei : 瑞芳 / 九份 / 基隆庙口
Day 3 Taipei - Jia Yi ： DuJiaoXian farm/垂杨路/ 文化路 商圈/ 夜市
Day 4 Jia Yi - Alishan ： 阿里山风景区
Day 5 AliShan : 奋起湖风景区
Day 6 Alishan - Jia Yi : 布袋/ 盐田
Day 7 Jia Yi - Taipei : 淡水/ 夜市
Day 8 : Tiapei : 新竹 / 内湾
Day 9 : Taipei : 深坑 / 石碇 / 木栅
Day 10 : Taipei : 莺歌 / 三峡 / 大溪
Day 11 : Taipei - Sing : Book shops!!!!

The above tour arrangment + hotel stay will cost about $4K+, Taipei / Alishan hotels are not cheap.

Will buy the travel insurance soon...If I cannot make it to Alishan mountain this time again...I will be compansated at least...hahahahahaha.
