This trip, there are four of us. Let's go!

Note: This review is perfect for budget-conscious travelers who want stunning photos. Let's see what my trip was like.
Day 1: Bangkok (Don Mueang International Airport) - Taipei (Taoyuan International Airport)

Let's go! It's time to travel. We will be traveling by air.

Tiger Air Flights: IT 506 departs for BKK at 8:00 PM and arrives in TPE at 12:30 AM.

Day 1: Bangkok (Don Mueang International Airport) - Taipei (Taoyuan International Airport)

"Wow, we arrived in Taiwan at 1 am! Day 1 begins with our journey from Bangkok's Don Mueang International Airport to Taipei's Taoyuan International Airport."

Boarded the plane and grabbed a bite to eat. There was a decent selection of food available.

Day 1: Arrival in Bangkok (Don Mueang International Airport) and Departure to Taipei (Taoyuan International Airport)

We have arrived at Taoyuan International Airport. There are four of us on this trip (including the photographer). It's almost 1 am now, and we're all tired.

Day 1: Bangkok (Don Mueang International Airport) - Taipei (Taoyuan International Airport) Since I'm already here, I might as well sleep at the airport to save money. It'll be morning soon anyway. Haha.

Following the concept of living simply but taking stunning photos, we'll take a short break before heading to Taichung in the morning. Our destination is He Huan Shan – Cingjing Farm, where we'll experience the first cold wind of the year. We're eager to explore this land known as the "Switzerland of Taiwan." Sweet dreams, everyone!

Day 2: HSR Taoyuan - HSR Taichung - Nantou

We started our journey early in the morning. Walking downstairs, we found the ticket booth. If I remember correctly, we took the U-Bus for 30 NT, which took 20 minutes to reach THSR Taoyuan Station. We then transferred to the HSR to THSR Taichung, which took approximately 1 hour and 53 minutes (132.4 km). Exploring the route by car from Taipei to Nantou was incredibly long, but the HSR saved us a significant amount of time.

Let's go! I got the tickets.

Day 2: High-Speed Rail Taoyuan - High-Speed Rail Taichung - Nantou

After a little over an hour, we arrived at Taichung Station. We left our luggage at the station for convenience when taking the bus to the sheep farm, as there would likely be no place to store it. We recommend leaving your luggage here, but be aware that the storage fee is quite expensive, ranging from 300-400 baht per day.

Upon arrival, we disembarked and proceeded to the ticket booth to purchase tickets for Cingjing Farm. It is recommended to check the schedule beforehand. We opted for the 8:45 AM departure, which conveniently passed by our accommodation. We purchased one-way tickets, as we planned to hire a car for our return trip.

The one-way fare is approximately 260 baht per person. The bus has arrived, please board.

The bus arrived on time. The staff called us to board, and we enjoyed the scenic view during the ride. Here are some photos of the view...

Note: This post is primarily for showing off pictures and is not very informative. While no one is obligated to read it, I don't understand why it needs to be...in this way. Is it wrong to post about a trip without having a lot of substance? What kind of deep meaning is expected from a travel post?

Let's continue. After we passed by car for about an hour, we finally arrived at our accommodation, Spring Ground Resort. Our accommodation is next to a castle-like hotel with a large clock tower. Please note that there is a bus stop right where we are staying. However, I ended up missing it because I hesitated. We reached the rest stop and got off the bus here.

This is another great spot for taking photos: Swiss Garden. There's a 7-Eleven there where we bought everything we needed. We then took a taxi to our accommodation, which cost around 200 NT. We ended up having to pay extra because we were indecisive.

We checked into our accommodation to rest before exploring further. Our room was a spacious two-queen-bed suite that comfortably accommodated four people. The cost was 4,XXX baht per night, and with a three-night stay, the total came to 12,150 baht. Splitting the cost among four people made it quite affordable. The room was well-equipped, including a delicious breakfast and temperature-controlled beds, which were a welcome amenity given the chilly weather. Let's take a look inside the room!

The surrounding atmosphere of the accommodation. Captured images of the surroundings of the accommodation.

Day 3: Swiss Garden – Spring Ground Resort

From our accommodation, we can capture a photograph of the clock tower in this manner.

Example 5555

Day 3: Swiss Garden – Spring Ground Resort

Today, we intentionally captured the atmosphere around the accommodation and took photos at various points where we could walk and take pictures. I would say that the best thing about this accommodation is the photogenic angles, but taking pictures of the castle-like view of the accommodation next door, they said that staying here costs tens of thousands.

The advantages of Spring Ground Resort, where we stayed, are:

- The price is reasonable.

- The photo captures the European-style angles of the castle.

- High-angle view of a mountain staircase with a balcony-like structure.

• Staff: Excellent English skills, friendly service. They took us to the sheep farm and helped us find a taxi for sightseeing. They also recommended places to visit.

Are there any disadvantages?

- Far from 7-11 and convenience stores, but if there are any, there are. Walk about 900 meters, almost a kilometer. But well, the weather is good, not hot, so it's okay to walk.

- Those who got accommodation far away had to walk a lot because there was no elevator. It was a bit tiring to walk, but they got a beautiful view.

Day 3: Swiss Garden – Spring Ground Resort

The surrounding atmosphere of our accommodation can be obtained from our hotel.

This way also has another angle.

Or perhaps the angle of the neighboring hotel.

Leaves fall, too.

Day 3: Swiss Garden – Spring Ground Resort

Enough of the accommodation, let's go outside and take some pictures. We came to capture the atmosphere of Swiss Garden, but we didn't go inside because it costs money (555). Taking pictures outside is fine, it's just as beautiful. Let's see the atmosphere outside, this is just a rest stop.

It's noon now, but the fog is still very thick. (The photographer complained that it was difficult to take pictures because there was only fog.)

As mentioned, there are many things here, including snack shops, cafes, dessert shops, and cute shops. Come and take pictures!

Did you see the black cat?

Another shot to capture the concept, because every day is a runway.

This post is simply to show off some photos. I'm aware it lacks substance, but it's just a post to show off some photos. If you like them, feel free to join us on our next trip.

Day 4: He Huan Shan – Cingjing Farm – Exploring Nantou

This sentence describes a potential itinerary for a day trip in Taiwan, starting with a visit to He Huan Shan, followed by Cingjing Farm, and concluding with an exploration of the surrounding Nantou area.

We will rest and gather our strength tonight, as we will be ascending He Huan Shan at 3:30 AM tomorrow. Our goal for the next day is to reach the summit of He Huan Shan, where we hope to encounter snow. We can book this tour through our hotel for NT$400 per person. A vehicle will pick us up from the hotel, and the hotel staff has informed us that it will arrive on time. We should wait in front of the hotel at the designated time. The vehicle will return us to the hotel around 8:00 AM, allowing us to explore the area before returning for breakfast.

The four-hour journey was worth it to see the snow. The car arrived around 3:45 AM, and it was both cold and sleepy.

Day 4: He Huan Shan – Cingjing Farm – Exploring Nantou

The bus will pick up people at each point, which is like a Chinese tour. Because on the bus, the guide will explain each point in Chinese, like the altitude of this point above sea level, etc. But it's in Chinese, so just listen and enjoy the view. I can tell you that the weather is amazing. Let's see if it will snow.

Day 4: He Huan Shan – Cingjing Farm – Exploring Nantou

After a short ride, the bus stopped. As usual, the announcement was in Chinese. Since the bus had stopped, we decided to get off and take a picture with the sign, even though we didn't understand anything.

As the car climbed the mountain, the weather today made it unlikely we would encounter snow. Light rain fell throughout the journey, causing a slight disappointment. We were told that to see snow, we would need to come in late January or February. Nevertheless, we were still able to enjoy the mist.

Day 4: He Huan Shan – Cingjing Farm – Exploring Nantou

After running for a while, the car stopped and let us get off to take pictures. They said that this spot was like the "Dragon's Point" or something like that, I can't remember exactly. But I can tell you that it was absolutely stunning, especially since it was getting close to dawn. It was like watching the sunrise.

Time to capture the moment.

Day 4: He Huan Shan – Cingjing Farm – Exploring Nantou

And then it was time to go back. It was a pity that I didn't see any snow, but it's okay. I'll come back again, but I won't buy a tour like this anymore because I don't think it's worth it. I recommend that if you come with 4-6 people, you should rent a taxi and travel around. It's more worthwhile. Ask the hotel to find and negotiate the price for you. Find out where you want to go. The hotel will help you coordinate. Let's go. Get off. I'm hungry in the morning. Let me capture the morning atmosphere for you.

The car dropped us off at our accommodation around eight in the morning, just in time for breakfast. We took a break to eat breakfast and recharge before heading to Cingjing Farm. We wanted to relax with the sheep. The breakfast was rice porridge with a variety of side dishes.

Day 4: He Huan Shan – Cingjing Farm – Nantou Surroundings

After a satisfying meal, we continued our journey and informed the hotel staff of our desire to visit a sheep farm. The hotel staff was incredibly kind and offered to drive us there. However, our luck ran out. Upon arrival at the sheep farm, we encountered heavy rain and dense fog, causing us immense disappointment. Consequently, we had to adjust our plans and seek alternative photo locations. We stopped at another rest stop, similar to the previous one, but this time on the opposite side. The atmosphere was remarkably reminiscent of Japan. It was time to showcase our photographs, adhering to our concept of "every day is a runway."

The hilarious duo

Pretending to be a shepherd. Haha.

There are restaurants at the rest stops.

There was also a claw machine. I couldn't resist, but I spent almost a hundred baht and didn't get a single plushie. Haha.

Day 4: He Huan Shan – Cingjing Farm – Exploring Nantou

We spent the day taking photos, capturing the beauty of the various accommodations and the stunning scenery. The vibrant foliage added a touch of magic to every hotel we visited.

Passing by this hotel, taking some photos.

That's enough photos for now. Let's head back to the hotel and prepare for tomorrow.

Taiwan has many things that many people don't expect. I like it very much. I will return to Taipei tomorrow, but our schedule for tomorrow is Taichung. What is there for us to collect? Let's take a look.

Day 5: Sun Moon Lake - Xuanzang Temple - Monster Village - Rainbow Village - Taipei - Ximending

After consulting with the hotel, we hired a taxi for the entire day. If I remember correctly, it cost 3,000 NT. The taxi driver took us sightseeing all day and then dropped us off at the HSR Taichung station to head to Taipei - Ximending. We left the hotel around 9 am, and the taxi driver was waiting for us at the hotel. I must say that he was very friendly and provided excellent service. He even offered us water and helped us plan our itinerary. We felt that it was a great value for the price.

Our first stop was Sun Moon Lake.

Initially, I was indifferent to this place based on reviews and photos that didn't seem impressive. However, upon arrival, I was astonished by the breathtaking beauty of the lake. The water was a mesmerizing light green, crystal clear, and the overall atmosphere was serene. It was an unexpected and delightful experience that surpassed my expectations.

We stopped to take photos at Wenwu Temple.

After capturing the scenic angles of the lake, let's take a look at the picturesque atmosphere of Wenwu Temple.

A large lion stands beside me.

It's time for a group photo.

As noon approached, the taxi driver suggested we head to the pier for lunch. It was time to indulge in some delicious local cuisine.

Wow, the view is amazing!

Let's go find something to eat. It's like a small walking street with shops and stalls selling snacks.

This is a chicken drumstick stuffed with rice and deep-fried.

The taste is excellent, likely marinated with herbs and chili. The flavor is rich and delicious.

This resembles sausage. "Gunchiang" comes in various flavors. Three sticks for 100 NT, one stick for 40 NT. Let's each have one.

Another popular shop with many review photos. It's like a fried bun with fillings, 40 NT each. Since we're here, we have to try it!

We bought food to go in order to save time for sightseeing. We bought food and sat at the pier, enjoying the view of the lake. This gave us a different kind of atmosphere.

After lunch, our next destination is Monster Village.

We learned about this place from a Taiwan travel book. I'll continue later, let me enjoy the lake view first. Hehe. Day 5: Monster Village.

The name "Demon Village" may sound intimidating, but it invites visitors to experience its charm and historical preservation. During the Japanese occupation, which coincided with the Qing dynasty, extensive deforestation occurred for house construction. However, upon assuming control, the Japanese implemented conservation measures to prevent further deforestation. To serve as a reminder, they erected a statue of Tengo, the demon of the forest. Following Japan's defeat in World War II, the area was returned to its rightful owner, Mr. Sung Ring, a Japanese native of Taiwan.

Demons will come out to welcome us. 555

Interior atmosphere

There is a music stage where we can sit and relax.

Group photo, mission accomplished, moving on to the next destination.

Admission is free of charge.

Day 5: Rainbow Village

We left the village of Pisal around half past three in the afternoon because we had to go to the village of Sai Rueng before nightfall. Otherwise, we would not be able to take pictures. Let's go! It's time to find the colorful village... The driver told us that this village is not far from HSR Taichung and that we can take pictures until six o'clock in the evening.

It's time for a long sleep. The journey takes 1 hour. Enjoy the scenery along the way and you'll be there in no time.

A village brimming with vibrant and adorable colors.

And then we have superheroes to arrest us. 555

This adorable superhero will sing for us.

The sun is setting. We bid farewell to Rainbow Village and Taichung with this image. We will miss this city.

Day 5: HSR Taichung - Taipei - Ximending

Let's continue our journey until nightfall. Our driver will take us to HSR Taichung. It's time to head into the city. We'll pick up our luggage and continue our adventure. Our next destination is Ximending, where we'll be staying for the next four nights. Let's see if we'll have a blast or a bust in Taipei.

Let's go, the train is here! The hilarious duo of the trip, Chai and Mom, are waiting to board. 55555 I feel like I'm on a trip with my aunt. 55

Day 5: High-Speed Rail (HSR) Taichung to Taipei - Ximending

We took the HSR to Taipei Main Station, where we transferred to the MRT and rode one stop to Ximending.

Upon arriving at Ximending, we headed to our accommodation, Diary of Taipei Hotel II, Zhonghua Branch.

Our accommodation boasts a prime location, situated close to the bustling Ximending market, renowned for its diverse culinary offerings. Conveniently located near MRT Ximen Exit 6, our property offers easy access to the city's vibrant attractions.

The hotel is located in the building next to The North Face. Take the elevator to the 3rd floor. The hotel sign is relatively dim and small, so please pay attention.

In five days, we will be staying here for four nights. The room has separate beds and a private bathroom with breakfast included. The total price for two rooms is 19,024 baht. We booked through Booking.com.

Let's take a look at the room.

After checking in, we went out to find something to eat. We had been traveling all day and arrived around 10 pm. We were starving, and every restaurant looked delicious. We decided to stop at this one, which I can't remember the name of, but I know it's located in the alleyway by the roundabout, two shops past the famous bubble tea place. We were famished, so we decided to have dinner before calling it a night. Tomorrow, we'll be back at it, with exciting events awaiting us in Taipei.

Day 6: Taipei - Ximending - Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall - Taipei 101

Just a moment, it's already the 6th day. Oh my, it's so fast! Today, we woke up late to rest. Our plan is to relax in Taipei. We had breakfast and checked out of the hotel around 10:30 am. It's time to relax! I repeat, relax! 5555 According to the concept.

Every day is a runway, it's time to conquer Taipei!

The job at the red light intersection must come.

Ximending's Red House is a must-visit!

Day 6: Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall

Today, we're focusing on relaxation! This is how we unwind. We left Ximending and headed to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. From our research before coming here, we knew this wasn't just a place to walk the runway. There's some substance here too. This site is one of the symbols of Taiwan and a must-visit tourist destination in Taipei. Built in 1976 to commemorate and honor former President Chiang Kai-shek, the building is white on all four sides with an octagonal blue roof in the Chinese architectural style. It stands proudly in the center of Freedom Square. The front staircase has 89 steps, the same as the age of the President. Inside, there is a large bronze statue of him in a seated position with a smiling face, unlike his statues elsewhere, which are guarded by two soldiers at all times. On the inner wall behind the statue are three words representing his political and governance philosophy: ethics, democracy, and science.

We have arrived at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. It is visible from afar.

Exit the station and take a photo before entering.

Another angle from the front, showing off the tricks.

Let's go for a walk. Inside, you'll see what looks like a replica of a palace. Oh, this angle is perfect for a picture of the princess.

The opposite side will be the corner of the 5-door gate.

Let's go inside and take a look. Inside is a commemorative statue of Chiang Kai-shek.

The top corner of the monument, looking down, will be this angle of the picture.

After a long break, we took some photos and soaked in the history. Before leaving, we couldn't resist taking one more photo from this angle.

We left this place around 3 pm because we took a lot of pictures. 555

Our next destination is to walk the Runway at Taipei 101 and have dinner at DIN TAI FUNG there. Let's go!

Day 6: Taipei 101 Let's go! Next stop, Taipei 101. Let's continue on the MRT. Don't forget to top up your Easy Card. You can top up at MRT stations and 7-11. I really like it, it's convenient and easy to travel. One card, travel, shopping, all done. Let's go, let's continue our journey.

Exiting the station, you'll see the entrance to the Taipei 101 building.

We're here! What should we do? Oh, take photos! Let's take photos! Haha.

We searched for a place to take photos around the building first, but we couldn't capture the entire building in one shot. So, we did some research to find the best angle and location to get a full view of the building. We found out that we needed to go to the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall. Okay, then we'll go there for the finale to end our trip. 555 Today, we'll just explore the area around Taipei 101 first.

This building feels like a combination of Baiyoke Tower and Siam Paragon in Thailand. The lower floors are a shopping mall with many famous brands, and the upper floors are a hotel. We didn't go up to the top because it was almost 7 pm when we arrived. Let's go find something to eat. Found it! Din Tai Fung. Let's go, I'm hungry!

However, luck was not on our side. We were unable to eat at Din Tai Fung due to the extremely long queue. As a result, we decided to change our plans and find something to eat in Ximending, the area where we were staying. Farewell, Taipei 101.

Day 6: Mala Hotpot in Ximending

Let's go find something to eat.

We conclude our evening with Mala Yuangyang Hotpot, a renowned establishment in this district. Fortunately, the queue is short, allowing us to indulge without delay. This restaurant offers a buffet-style dining experience.

There are different price ranges depending on the type of food. We opted for the full package, which cost around 699 NT per person, or roughly 700 baht.

To reach Mala Yuangyang Hotpot by MRT, take Exit 6 at Ximen Station. Turn right and enter the Ximending area. Turn left at KFC and continue until you reach an intersection with a large KTV sign. Turn right and walk down the alley. You will see the red sign for Mala Yuangyang Hotpot. Walk up the stairs to the second floor.

That's all for today. After eating, everyone can go back to rest. Tomorrow's program is:

Stroll through the RunWay at Jiufen Old Street and Raohe Street Night Market. 555 I'm going to rest my body now...

Day 7: Jiufen Old Street – Raohe Street Night Market

Let's move on to Jiufen. I have already written a review on it, which is a separate thread. You can read it in this thread.

http://pantip.com/topic/35451458

We left Jiufen around 5 pm. On the way back, we stopped to pray at a temple and then walked around Raohe Street Night Market. Today, we ate so much that we were about to burst!

We took the same bus route, 1062, and got off at the MRT Songshan Station. It was time to walk. Before we went out to eat, we decided to stop by a temple to pray.

This point is adjacent to Qingtian Temple, one of the most sacred temples in Taiwan.

Inside Qingtian Temple

This temple was built to worship Guan Gong, also known as Guan Yu in Thai, the deity of war and martial arts. People mainly come here to pray for good health.

After paying respects to the Buddha, it's time for another meal. Let's continue our food tour.

Day 7: Raohe Night Market

Let's go! After worshipping and praying, it's time to eat and walk until we burst. This country has so much delicious food. Let's walk, eat, relax, and go on a long journey… Let's go!

The event was a feast for the eyes. Here are some of the highlights.

Grilled squid, big and delicious.

Is this imitation crab meat? It looks strange.

Stop by for a taste at a restaurant. I've been eating a lot of squid lately because it's so fragrant and delicious. I have to try it!

Just walking around is enough to make you full. I'm telling you, just looking at the sights and smelling the smells is enough to make you happy. Would you like a dessert?

We stopped by another shop to try a snack that looked like a kite with a pizza topping. The shopkeeper's expression was a mixture of amusement and confusion.

There are many more pictures of the food available. If you want to know how much, you should try visiting yourself. The vendors here are friendly and welcoming. The food is also reasonably priced and not too expensive. The taste is okay. I'll have something cold to drink for a bit and then prepare to return to my accommodation. I'm starting to get tired.

Tomorrow, we will capture the iconic Taipei 101 skyscraper from a unique perspective. This is the grand finale of our trip, so it has to be epic! Stay tuned to see how we conquer the runway tomorrow.

Day 8: Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall - Chuan Tang Hot Spring - Sogo Shopping Mall

It's time to leave the hotel. The auspicious time is 9:39 AM. 555. When I came down, everyone was excited. Let's go, it's time to go. Head to...

Take the MRT Blue Line to Yingsawang.

Our first destination, with a view of Taipei 101, it's time to travel.

Strike a pose in the heart of Ximending! Time to strut my stuff on the runway. 5555

And then we arrived at the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall. It was packed! We didn't notice if anyone was looking at us because we were too busy taking it all in.

Let's go take some photos! It's time to capture the Taipei 101 and the foreign cultural event. Haha.

You are allowed to copy the angles. There is no copyright. Do whatever you like, as long as it is not illegal. Just don't make it look like their house, haha.

Another memorable photo at Taipei 101.

Sharing just these photos for now 555 After this, we will go to soak in the hot springs and Onsen. Then we will go shopping at Sogo. Today is our relax day. We are wearing Thai clothes all over Taipei. 555 Day 8: Chuan Tang Hot Spring

After completing our mission at Taipei 101, we headed to the hot springs for a relaxing onsen experience. Feeling hungry, we decided to grab a bite to eat there. According to our research, if we order food exceeding 400 NT per person, we would be granted free access to the hot springs. It was time to continue our journey.

Our journey begins with a ride on the MRT Red Line to Shipai Station. Upon exiting the station, turn right and continue walking until you reach the China Trust Bank, identifiable by its green signage. Here, you will wait for bus routes 508, 535, or 536. The journey takes approximately 15 minutes, and your destination is Xingyi RD #3. Be mindful of the announcements as the bus approaches Xingyi RD #1 and Xingyi RD #2 before your stop. Upon disembarking at Xingyi RD #3, proceed slightly uphill, where you will find an entrance on your right resembling a parking lot. Follow this path until you reach a large sign indicating "川湯".

We then walked down the path (it felt like we were descending a mountain, I must say). At the end of the path, we arrived at a place that felt just like Japan.

For a full meal and entry, the cost is NT$400. Entry alone, without a meal, costs NT$200. Purchase your ticket at the counter and head inside. Lockers are available for a NT$20 deposit. Please bring two NT$10 coins for the deposit.

Before we went to soak in the Onsen, we went to find something to eat. I have to say, this was hilarious because the person taking our order spoke Chinese and couldn't speak English. We were both confused. With good intentions, they let us try their most popular dish. We understood that much. So, we went with it. In the end, we got black chicken stewed in Chinese medicine, which looked like this: 55

However, we were told that we couldn't eat it yet and had to wait for it to boil first. So we admired the atmosphere from the front of the shop where we were sitting. It was amazing! It felt like a stream of mineral water was flowing through it.

After a while, the staff told us that we could eat. But wait! A moment later, the staff came to light the fire. There was a fire show as well.

5555 is excitement, fun, surprise. This is what we call a real fire doctor. The fire is so high. 555

The taste was peculiar, with a strong alcoholic aroma and an overwhelming amount of root vegetables. Personally, I found it unpalatable. The chicken was tough, but we were hungry, so we ate it anyway.

The taste is so good, you can see it on Mom's face. 5555

After we finished eating, we went our separate ways to soak in the onsen.

For those who have never been to an onsen, it is recommended to take a shower before entering. There will be two bottles, one for shampoo and one for soap. Be careful not to mix them up! It is also advisable to bring your own drinking water and a towel, as these are not provided. The onsen is clean and not too crowded, so you can quickly rinse off and jump into the pool. We left around 6 pm to go shopping. To return, wait for the bus at the designated stop, which is marked by a bus sign.

Day 8: Sogo Shopping Mall

We took the bus back from the onsen and got off at MRT Shipai Station. We then took the MRT to Zhongxiao Fuxing Station to go to Sogo Department Store. Let's go! It's time to continue our journey...

The purpose of coming to this mall, many people probably know why. Coming here, you have to buy something to take back. Give me a moment to take my wife shopping. 555

We walked around looking at things for a while. 5555 Everyone who saw us asked if we were from Thailand. We said we were from Thailand. 5555

The result is that this pair is cheaper than in Thailand.

And then time ran out. It was almost 9 pm and the mall was about to close. We headed back to the hotel. Wait a minute! I have to go back tomorrow? Wow, has it really been 9 days? Why is it so fast? I have a lot of work to do. Pack your bags and go home. It's time to close the runway.

Day 9: Farewell to Ximending - Taipei - Taiwan (Taoyuan International Airport) - Bangkok (Don Mueang International Airport)

On the way back, I have to say that I'm really tired of dragging our luggage around. What heavy things did we bring? 5555 It's time to close the runway, isn't it? 5555

We took the MRT from Ximending to Taipei Main Station to catch a bus to the airport. However, in reality,

Upon arriving at Taipei Main Station, we were overwhelmed by the massive crowds. To avoid the hassle, we opted for a taxi, which cost 1,500 NT. In retrospect, it was a reasonable expense considering the combined cost of MRT and bus fares, not to mention the convenience of avoiding luggage dragging. For groups of 4-6 people, a taxi is highly recommended as it offers time savings and reduces the burden of carrying luggage.

The trip to Taiwan for 9 days and 8 nights with a budget of 2X,XXX baht was closed by the group of people who love to take off their clothes for photo shoots. I hope everyone will have fun and get inspired to travel in our style. Live life colorfully because every day is a runway.

Let's take a look at the damage... I must say, the prices are low, but the pictures are really amazing. We love Taiwan..

We hope everyone enjoys our tour of Taiwan. Thank you.
