I've put in the chinese translation next to each of the important words, as I always print out my itinerary to be bring along anywhere I go, so is easier to show it to the local if I need to check on something with them.
For this trip, there are four of us whereby 2 are senior citizen. Due to this reason, we engaged a local driver, Ms Yu for airport transfer(both to/from) and a day trip to outskirt area.

She is a very friendly nice lady but can only communicate in Mandarin or Hokkien. So I rely heavily on Google Translate in out conversation, perhaps it maybe grammatically incorrect, but I guess she understand what I want.
She uses a 5-seaters taxi and will drop us off the locations we wanted to go and pick us some time later. With her around, we get to know more about Taipei in terms of food and history.
On accomodation
There are so many choices on where should one stay in Taipei, wanted to be closest to most of the popular areas.

I choosed Taipei Main Station area for the central and convenience in public transport.
Taipei Main Station is the main commuter train exchange point and connecting to the station itself are 3 big shopping malls, not to mention the hundreds of small businesses surrounding it.
Hotel that I stayed in is quite a basic one, two double bed, bathroom...that's all. But it's new and clean. What makes it even better is it is only approximately 20feets away from one of the exit to Taipei Main Station.
Why is this such an important key? One of the day when we're there, it started pouring since morning and we have to leave the hotel by evening. Under such weather with limited time, we spent our time shopping 'underground' of Tapei Main Station as there are stalls offering all kind of stuff..food, clothes, massage, toys and etc. Feeling rich? You can always go to any of the 3 connected shopping malls without worrying the weather condition out there.

The southern section, rather than being home to fabric or medicine stores, is a dried goods market with a long history.

Hi, thanks for sharing you itinerary.
ReplyDeleteCan I ask for Ms. Yu contact information and how much she charged for airport pick up and one day tour?
thank you
Hey yourin!
DeleteYou can text/call Ms. Yu at (+886 910 236 967). However, she can only communicate via Mandarin, so you need to text/speak to her in Chinese.
Regarding the charges, I can't really remember, but the price is definitely reasonable, especially with such great service from her.
Hope this helps.
I've just booked my air ticket to a Taipei in June. Your article is very useful esp for ppl like me who don't read Chinese.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nileey! Glad that you find this little piece of sharing useful in planning for your upcoming trip.
