Taipei Night sightseeing Asia » Taiwan » Taipei
On my way to home, the relaxing way is by walking throught Xin Yi district from Taipei city Hall station of MRT. Xin Yi district is the most populous area fulled with many department stores and 101 building . Unlike the most tourists done to shop at 101, i like to walk around the path between buildings where you could see lots of differnet styles of street artists. sometimes you will stop to listen their sweet songs with pure voice. Especially at Saturday night , you will see them with powerful and touching performance, that is definetly better than shopping [View Full Entry]

Ginguashi where is located the north part of Taipei with mountains closed to pacific ocean is my most favorous part of Taipei. It takes only 1 hour from Taipei city by public bus on the MRT ChungShia Fushing station with 95 NT . Not too expensive but it is so convenient, instead of taking train to ReiFan station. yesterday with comfortable weather, freezing wind with sunshine. We decided to take the earlier bus to visit Gingaushi again that we have been a long time not to visit. Last time we visited is last Nov, we found the nice coffee shop [View Full Entry]

Taipei MRT System Asia » Taiwan » Taipei
For visiting Taipei, the first vehicle you will choose is MRT system for tourists. It is basically tool to visit around all Taipei and Taipei county . If you could know the way to translate public bus, it will be fun to travel in Taipei. But unluckliy, the bus system does not support English well including the route map. So for foreigners, it is not easy to take . MRT system information here : website: http://www.trtc.com.tw/e/ http://www.trtc.com.tw/e/travel95.asp Notice:1- Do not drink, eat in station, otherwise you will be banned 2- Ple [View Full Entry]

Taitung, located in the east of Taiwan facing the pacific ocean and spetacular ocean mountains. The most convenient way to Taitung is by airplante , for 40 mins from Taipei. Or you could take the fast train(not high speed train) in east line to Taitung. it will spend you 4-5 hours from taipei. The view on train still is worthy seeing across ocean line and mountains. Taitung is really hot in summer with cloudless sky and blue ocean. also it is the hometown of aborigies. i live in city where there is a bicycle park closed to the ocean. You [View Full Entry]

Since the operation of High speed train from Taipei to KaoShung, then it becomes the main vehicle for people to travel. From Taipei to Taichung city, only for 40 mins by high speed train now rather than 2.5 hours by bus. it cost around 700NT for one trip. not so cheap, but it is fast and stable than i imagied before. their linked, you could have the look and book ticket in advance http://www.thsrc.com.tw/en/index.htm [View Full Entry]
