How much does it cost to travel to Taiwan?

The cost of self-guided tours in Taiwan ranges from 10 days to half a month, with an average daily consumption of 500 to 700 yuan. Overview: 1. About money: The exchange rate is RMB: Taiwan dollar (NT) = 1: about 4.7, with little fluctuation. Personally, it is recommended to bring cash and Visa card. UnionPay cards are also currently accepted.

2. Regarding the tourist season: Except for July and August (too hot) and January and February (too cold), other months are quite suitable. Personally recommend March and April (there are spring waves and spring).

3. Regarding luggage: swimsuit (for hot springs and going to the sea), special gifts (very important, because you will find there are too many people you want to thank on the road), slippers; bring less clothes. Especially girls, because you will definitely be tempted to buy them; the box should be as big as possible, because there are many specialties; and a blank book (stamped with commemorative stamps).

4. Regarding shopping: In addition to specialties from various places (which will be introduced below), cosmetics can also be purchased (Shiseido is cheaper, and there are local cosmeceuticals in Taiwan, such as Guangliangyuan, etc.). There are also all kinds of interesting things in the night market. The most recommended ones are books and magazines. Go shopping at Eslite. Postcards are also necessary and are sold everywhere.

5. Regarding transportation: Only Taipei and Kaohsiung have subways in Taiwan. Taking the bus in Taiwan is very inconvenient (the bus intervals are long). The means of transportation between cities include high-speed rail (similar to the Harmony Line), Taiwan Railway (ordinary train) and passenger transportation (recommended Tonglian). Price: High Speed ??Rail > Taiwan Railway > Passenger Transport; Speed: High Speed ??Rail > Taiwan Railway > Passenger Transport. Generally, the passenger terminal is next to the train station, which is very convenient. Also, if you get lost, feel free to ask for directions. Asking for directions in Taiwan is also a very interesting thing. Ps. Passenger transport prices vary at different times. Generally, it is more expensive on Fridays and Saturdays, but cheaper on weekdays.

6. About the tourist service center: Every time you go to a place, it is best to go to the tourist service center first. First, you can get free information, such as maps, itinerary suggestions, etc., which is very practical! (They are also available at all major train stations) There is also the option of getting commemorative stamps, which is very interesting! ! So everyone must bring a small book with blank pages to collect commemorative medals from various places! !

7. Regarding language: Taiwanese basically speak Mandarin, and Taiwanese is more commonly used in the south, so you can ask young people for directions in the south. The font is traditional Chinese, which everyone can understand. (Friendly reminder: When speaking in public, everyone must speak softly, otherwise it will be really abrupt; in addition, always say thank you, excuse me, sorry, etc.) ps. Some of the language habits of our two sides are different, such as: dressing room - Restrooms, MRT-subway, souvenirs-gifts, good deals-discounts, hot-hots, etc.

8. Regarding accommodation: Generally, you can bargain in B&Bs, with prices fluctuating around NT$100. Also, Friday and Saturday nights are holiday prices, which are much higher than weekday prices, as stated on the hotel website.

9. Regarding time arrangements: Taiwan’s shops open very late, usually after 11 o’clock, and the night market naturally opens after 5 or 6 o’clock, so everyone needs to plan their itinerary so that they don’t have to get up early to go shopping in the morning.
