Planning a 5D4N Trip to Taiwan yourself

Want to take a break and go for a holiday in Taiwan? Try budget airlines (i.e Airasia and Jetstar) or look out for good deals available from the full service airlines (i.e Singapore Airlines)

Where best to stay? I highly recommend the hotel me and my friends stayed at, City Inn. It was truly a wonderful experience. The staff were friendly and accomodating and the rooms were clean, modern, new and well worth the price.

What to do in Taiwan? Hit the night markets for good food and shopping. My favourites are Shihlin Night Market for food (second is Raohe Night Market), and ShiDa for shopping (although Wu Fen Pu is a very large fashion avenue spanning 1 km radius of jam-packed tiny shops in a rats maze, I found more quality buys at ShiDa Market)

Sightseeing is a must. Out of all the places I visited, I liked Jiu fen the most for scenery and for the lanterns at night. When we were there we chartered taxis to take us around sightseeing and to send us back to Taipei city. It was far more convenient and cheaper when travelling in a group.

What to buy in Taiwan? Beauty Diary masks and fake eyelashes

Planning an itinerary for Taiwan? Below is a snaphot of our itinerary to Taiwan. Some of my friends checked out the night life there and had good things to say about Luxy.
