What should I pay attention to when going to Taipei?

Taipei is a very beautiful place. This small series will introduce you to the precautions for going to Taipei and some preparations for the week. By the way, add some travel notes to let everyone know more about Taipei.

Get your entry permit ready before you leave: Everything comes from Taobao. Of course, friends who are not in a hurry suggest doing it in advance on a poor tour or in a beehive, which will save money.

Currency exchange: ATM withdraws money. At first, there was a place to withdraw money at the airport. Almost every convenience store in the street has ATM, which is invincible.

Money: Huaxia Bank's card will be familiar to everyone ~ there is no handling fee for the first payment every day, but there is a handling fee for checking the balance! There is also a Xiamen bank recommended to everyone! No matter how many pens are taken in a day, there is no handling fee, and the inquiry is free! ! And now shopping malls can take UnionPay, and friends without credit cards don't have to be afraid!

In addition, convenience stores in Taiwan Province Province are also very convenient. Many things are open 24 hours a day. There is also an ATM in 7 1 1. There must be a convenience store within 200 meters of Fiona Fang, Taiwan Province Province, so don't worry about being hungry or having no money in the middle of the night.

Communication: I didn't buy a local calling card, so I used a domestic service provider directly because of the short time.

Hotel: Consistency and Reservation, two world-famous brands, are well known. In fact, there are big fish net, gomaji (a group buying website in Taiwan Province province, where you can pay by credit card, eat, live and travel) and airbnb in Taiwan Province province, which are also very useful. You can try all kinds of hotels and homestays. Transportation: MRT, bus, taxi, carpool, train. Fujian is the cheapest way to travel to and from Taiwan Province Province. If you get a discount by boat from Pingtan, you only need 300 RMB. The price of booking Xiamen to Taipei in advance is also between 400-800.

About the route arrangement: because there are only four days, the time is relatively short, and I have consulted many raiders, and finally decided to simply play in Taipei. In fact, I searched the information and found that everyone's route is different. Although the scenic spots are roughly the same, they are hardly recommended. I have carefully studied the map (I don't know the idea of building roads in Taipei, but the road network and map in Taipei are complicated and really circuitous in so many cities), so I suggest reading the MRT map directly. In the final analysis, in fact, I personally think Taipei is not big. If you don't want to take detours, you can play in different regions and use easycard to save trouble and effort; Or use a one-day travel card, which can really vary from person to person and visit all the places needed for transportation in one breath. So, choose what you are interested in and do it well.

PS: You can also go to the local area and consult people in Taiwan Province Province in a more convenient way. The people here are really enthusiastic and patient.

Tips: 1. If a group of people under the age of 20 come to Taiwan Province Province for a self-help tour! ! There is no way to apply for a calling card! ! ! Taiwan Province Province must be over 20 years old to apply for a calling card! Or you need a copy of your parents' passport or ID card and a consent form, otherwise you can't handle it! !

2. Some necessary cards ~ Besides easycard, Youth Travel Card, International Student ID Card and Youth Hostel Card, they are also very useful ~ By the way, some easycard will have specific activities ~ such as Hello.

Kitty's card can take the Maokong cable car for free on the day when the card is opened ~ As for the youth travel card, it can't be processed at Taoyuan Airport in Taipei yet, but there are tourist information centers near the major MRT stations, which can be collected with valid documents ~ international student identity card is suitable for students at school, and discounts can be offered at major scenic spots at home and abroad. International student identity card's card can be co-organized with the membership card of the International Youth Hostel, allowing you to stay in youth hostels all over the world at the price of membership!

application program

First of all, I will introduce some necessary apps to you. With these apps, traveling in Taiwan Province Province will be much more convenient. Love reviews are similar to our public reviews. Actually, it is not recommended that you go to Taiwan Province Province to find food. Because it's a waste of time, you can eat a lot of delicious food by searching around with love. Google Maps is very convenient, and you can easily find the place you want to go. Let me introduce Taipei and its surrounding scenic spots first. When most people come to Taiwan Province Province, they like to use Taipei as a stopover and only make a short stop in Taipei. In fact, there are many places to play in Taipei. Personal suggestion 15 days free travel can stay in Taipei for 6-7 days.

Taipei can have a look at the subway route map in advance. These scenic spots are all on the same line, and the distance is relatively close, so I arranged a one-day tour. You can also reduce several scenic spots according to the time, some of which are similar, depending on whether you are interested. The focus of Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and sun yat-sen memorial hall is to watch the changing ceremony on the hour. Brother Bing is very handsome, and the ceremony lasts 10 minutes. When we went to the presidential palace, there happened to be a TV station doing a program, so we didn't go in. We need to make an appointment in advance to overlook Taipei. Ximending is one of the must-see attractions in Taipei. You can take photos at the West Gate Red Mansion, and there are some creative shops to visit. Ximending night market is also a place where you can enjoy yourself. Find a small restaurant, eat oyster omelet and fish ball soup, then have a rest and go to 10 1 building. Starbucks on the 35th floor of Building10/kloc-0 needs to make an appointment one day in advance. It's near the information desk in 1 building. When the time comes, the little brother of Starbucks will pick you up, and you can't get up. It's better to make an appointment in the evening. Then you can go to the observation deck on the 85th floor. 10 1 There are Ding Taifeng steamed buns on the ground floor, which will be faster to take out. It's delicious! After going downstairs, come out from the gate near the information desk and look up to see the architecture of Xinyi Building. Below the building is the moon bus. Take some photos and go back to rest ~ Of course, if time permits, you still have strength, and you can also go to the nearby shopping malls.

You can visit the Maokong cable car in the morning. You can swipe your card on the cable car, and there will be a discount. If you want tickets for the Maokong Cable Car as a souvenir, please buy them. There is no discount. The crystal car of Maokong Cable Car needs to make an appointment in official website in advance. The only difference between crystal cable car and ordinary cable car is that the floor is also transparent, so you need to make an appointment in advance. I missed the appointment and went to the scene to queue up (don't ask me why I know). The cable car will pass two stops on the way, and we can also go down to play, but it's actually not interesting. And because of the time, we will go directly to the terminal and take a walk on the mountain. There is a nice little dessert shop, with delicious ice cream and good snacks. From Maokong Cable Car Station, you can take a bus to the subway station.

Tip: it is best to discuss with the landlord of Taipei accommodation, and it is best to deposit the extra things. You'd better go into battle lightly for the next ten days.

The means of transportation from Taipei to Taichung is Taiwan Railway. Buy an early bird ticket on Taobao in advance, and just change the train ticket when you go to the train station. You don't have to catch the train, so it's convenient to arrange the time and bring your entry card. When you arrive in Taichung, you can take a bus to Fengjia Night Market, which takes about an hour. Of course, you can also choose a taxi.

Recommended place to stay: Fengjia Night Market. I find it inconvenient to live near the station. The station is really far from Fengjia Night Market. Moreover, Taichung is not like Taipei, except that the night market has long been closed and the last bus is gone. It is better to live in Fengjia night market. PS: prepare cash. Fengjia night market can't pay Alipay, and small items can't be swiped.

The bicycle lane around Sun Moon Lake is known as one of the most beautiful bicycle lanes in the world. If you start early, you can see the beautiful scenery of the rising sun. We were in a hurry to cycle around the lake, so we didn't ride to Crescent Bay (the terminal). We rode to the tourist service center and then returned. If we have time, I suggest we ride for a while. You can buy a boat ticket for Sun Moon Lake from the landlord, and the price is similar. The first stop by boat is Ida _, a minority tribe on Sun Moon Lake. You can eat something in the old street and send postcards. The second stop, Xuanzang Temple, happened to have an old woman's tea egg on the island. It's easy to find, because there is always a long line. You must try. Very delicious. You can wait for the bus to go up the mountain in the parking lot next to Xuanzang Temple. Cienta must go. Climb to the top of the tower and have a bird's eye view of Sun Moon Lake. Wu Wen Temple can also be visited. We really didn't have the strength, so we didn't go in and went back to the dock by car. I had a cardboard box restaurant for dinner. In fact, there are many places in this restaurant, but Sun Moon Lake really has nothing to eat, so I chose this restaurant. Souvenirs are very interesting. I can go shopping.

Alishan Alishan has two sightseeing routes, Zhushan Line and Shenmu Line. Zhushan line is only used to watch the sunrise. It leaves at 4: 30 in the morning and there is only one trip a day. We lined up at the ticket office at half past three to buy tickets and got on the bus early. There are no seats when there are many people, so you can have a rest in the car. There are two viewing platforms to watch the sunrise, and Zhushan viewing platform is the exit. Don't be lazy at this time. Go to the far and high observation deck-Kogasawara observation deck, which is not crowded and has a good view. There are two small trains coming back from the mountain, 6: 00 and 6: 30. After you come back, you can have some breakfast and have a rest, because Alishan scenic spot is actually small, and you can definitely visit it in three hours. If you feel you have plenty of time, you can also go to the lake. The lake is an old street. You can try the station lunch. But I must remind you that the last bus back to Alishan is very early, so you must pay attention to the time. My friend missed the last bus. Fortunately, a kind person offered to give him a ride, otherwise you would really sleep in the lake!

Kaohsiung gets up early! Catch the first bus to Chiayi, otherwise the second bus will have to wait until the afternoon. Go to 7- 1 1 next to alishan station to buy a ticket, swipe your e-card and get on the bus. The bus doesn't sell tickets in advance, and now you can only buy tickets at 7- 1 1 in the morning, so be early and don't sleep too much.

Take the Taiwan Railway from Chiayi to Kaohsiung, and the tickets are also booked on Taobao in advance. The train will arrive in Kaohsiung in 45 minutes, so you can make up your makeup on the train ~ Because you don't stay in Kaohsiung for a long time, you should determine the itinerary in advance. The last bus to Kenting is 19: 10. Pay attention to the time.

You can see the bus ticket booth to Kenting at the exit of Kaohsiung Railway Station, which is called Kenting Express. You can buy the last bus ticket to Kenting first. If you swipe your card, you can reserve a seat at the ticket office in advance. In fact, there are many buses to Kenting, so you can swipe your card and get on the bus. It is best to book tickets in advance during the peak period. There are two tour routes in Kaohsiung, one is Xiziwan Scenic Area, the main attraction is the British Dog Consulate, and the other is Building 85 and the eye of Kaohsiung-the Ferris wheel, which can have a bird's eye view of the whole Kaohsiung Harbor. You can take the subway on both lines, so you can leave after storing your luggage!

My friend and I chose the eye route in Kaohsiung. The dome of light is one of the scenic spots in Kaohsiung. When we get off at the beautiful island station, there will be a sign leading to the dome hall, where we can take pictures. The next stop is Building 85, because the itinerary of the Ferris wheel has been determined, so I didn't choose to board Building 85, took a photo and left. Take a bus to the eye of Kaohsiung Ferris wheel. Ferris wheel is in an amusement park on the top floor of a shopping mall. It's very cute. Ferris wheel is colorful. You can buy one get one free at the dessert station opposite with the ticket. It's very comfortable to eat a glass of ice on a hot day ~

It's almost time for Liuhe Night Market. I strongly recommend Zheng Laopai papaya milk and noodles. Milk is the best I have ever tasted in Taiwan Province Province. It is very delicate. Liuhe night market mostly sells seafood. The night market is not long. Stop-and-go, eat and stroll for about an hour, and then you can return to Kaohsiung Railway Station and get ready to go to Kenting ~

It takes about two hours from Kaohsiung to Kenting, so you can have a little rest, and Kenting night market will be more high~ you can feel the strong tropical customs. Deal with the accommodation, pack your luggage, put on your slippers and shorts quickly, and let's go to the night market ~

Recommended accommodation in Kenting: Kenting Old Street

Kenting Kenting gave me the only impression that the weather was hot, the weather was hot and people were enthusiastic, and the whole person got a lot of suntan. There are not many restaurants in Kenting Old Street during the day, so you can choose to eat beef noodles at an affordable price. The scenic spots in Kenting are not large and the traffic is inconvenient, so the best way to travel is to rent a motorcycle. If you are a girl, you can rent one or two, 400 Taiwan dollars a day and two batteries. (Actually, we don't know whether they rent cars by time or by battery. In short, you can get a satisfactory price just by bargaining. There are two routes, the eastern route and the western route. Watch the sunrise on the eastern front and the sunset on the western front. You can arrange your trip according to your own time. As I said before, the scenic spots in Kenting are so small that it is not easy to find them by motorcycle. We can get a map at the car rental place first. We went to the lighthouse, Longpan Park and Sand Island. On the way back, we parked our motorcycle at Fanshi to watch the sunset.

Diving was arranged temporarily the next day, so I planned to arrange scenic spots for one day and spend the whole day at the seaside the next day. So in the evening, we rode a motorcycle to the West Line and went to Hengchun Ancient City and Fire Park. The fire was small and dark, but when we went there, the flames were very big and we saw fireflies! On the way back, I ate something in Hengchun Ancient City. The salted chicken on the corner is delicious and an old shop. The most famous ancient city of Hengchun is, of course, the shooting place of Cape 7. If you want to go here, I suggest going during the day.
