Preparation before departure
Admission ticket: 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 is used to withdraw money. The airport has a place to withdraw money from the beginning. Almost every convenience store in the street has ATM, which is invincible.
Money: Huaxia Bank's card is 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 all shopping malls can take UnionPay, and friends without credit cards don't have to be afraid!
Then there is the convenience store in Taiwan Province Province, which is very convenient. Many things are open 24 hours a day, and 7 1 1 has an ATM. There must be a convenience store within 200 meters of Fiona Fang, Taiwan Province Province, so you don't have to 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 directly used a domestic service provider because of the short time.
Hotels: Accorda and booking, which are widely used all over the world, are well known. In fact, Taiwan Province Province also has Big Fish Network, gomaji (a group buying website in Taiwan Province Province, which can be paid by credit card, including room and board) and airbnb. You can try different 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, it's only 300 RMB. The price from Xiamen to Taipei is also between 400 and 800 in advance.
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. Actually, I searched the information and found that everyone played a different route. Although the scenic spots are roughly the same, there are almost no identical recommendations. I have carefully studied the map (I don't know the concept of road construction in Taipei, but the road network and maps in Taipei are very complicated in so many cities, and they are really winding), so I suggest looking at the MRT map directly. After all, I personally don't think Taipei is big. If you don't want to take detours, you can play in different regions. Easycard saves trouble and effort. Or go with a one-day travel card and visit the places where traffic needs in one breath. It really can vary from person to person. So, choose the place you are interested in, and a bunch will be done.
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.
: tip:
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 calling card must be 20 years old! 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 identity card and Youth Hostel Card are also very easy to use ~ By the way, some easycard will have special activities ~ For example, hello kitty card, you can take the Maokong cable car for free on the day of card opening ~ As for Youth Travel Card, it is not available at Taipei Taoyuan Airport, but there are tourist information centers near major MRT stations. You can get it with a valid certificate ~ And international student identity card is suitable for students at school, and all major scenic spots at home and abroad can be discounted. 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 applications, it will be much more convenient to travel in Taiwan Province province. Love reviews are similar to our public reviews. Actually, it is not recommended that you look for food in Taiwan Province Province. Because it's a waste of time, you can eat a lot of delicious food by searching around with the love spell. 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 transit point and only stay in Taipei for a short time. Actually, there are so many places to play in Taipei. Personal suggestion 15 days free travel can stay in Taipei for 6-7 days.
Taipei City
You can look at the subway 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 time. Some scenic spots 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 was a TV station doing a program, so we didn't go in. We need to make an appointment in advance so that we can overlook Taipei. Ximending is one of the must-see attractions in Taipei. The West Gate Red Mansion can be photographed, and there are some creative shops to visit. Ximending night market is also a place where you can shop and eat to your heart's content. Find a small restaurant in it, have some oyster omelet and fish ball soup, have a rest, and then you can go to 10 1 building. Starbucks on the 35th floor of Building 0 1 needs to make an appointment one day in advance. Just wait near the service desk on the first floor. The little brother of Starbucks will come down to pick you up then. He 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. There are Ding Taifeng steamed buns on the ground floor of Building 0 1. It will be faster to take them out. It's delicious! Go downstairs from the 85th floor, come out from the gate near the information desk, and look up to see 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 the strength, and you can also go to the nearby shopping malls.
In the morning, you can take the Maokong cable car tour, you can swipe your card, and there will be a discount. If you want to keep the ticket of Maokong Cable Car as a souvenir, you can buy it. There is no discount. The crystal car of Maokong Cable Car needs to be reserved 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 had to queue up at the scene (don't ask me why I know). The cable car will pass two stops, and you can also go down to play. Actually, it's not interesting. And because of the time, we can go directly to the terminal and walk around the mountain. There is a small candy store that sells ice cream and snacks very well. 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. For the next ten days, it's better to go into battle lightly.
The choice of transportation from Taipei to Taichung is Taiwan Railway. Just buy an early bird ticket on Taobao in advance. When you go to the train station, change the train ticket, so you don't have to catch the train, which is convenient for you to arrange your time and bring an access 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. Besides, Taichung is not like Taipei. Except for the night market, it has been closed for a long time, and the last bus has long since disappeared. Might as well live in Feng Jia night market. PS: prepare cash. Fengjia Night Market cannot pay Alipay, and small commodities will not be paid.
Sun Moon Lake
The bicycle lane around the lake in Yuetan is known as one of the most beautiful bicycle lanes in the world. If you start early, you can see the beautiful sunrise. We were in a hurry to ride around the lake, so we didn't ride to Crescent Bay (the terminal). We rode back to the tourist service center and suggested that we could ride for a while when we had time. Tickets for Sun Moon Lake can be bought from the landlord of the accommodation, 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 or something. At the second stop, we just went to Xuanzang Temple on the island, and there was an old woman's tea egg, which was easy to find. Because there is always a long queue, you must try it. Very delicious. The parking lot next to Xuanzang Temple can wait for the bus to go up the mountain. Be sure to go to Cienta. Climb to the top of the tower and have a bird's eye view of Sun Moon Lake. We can also visit the Confucius Temple. I really didn't have the strength, so I didn't go in and went directly to the dock of the club by car. I went to a cardboard box restaurant for dinner. In fact, there are many places in this restaurant, but Sun Moon Lake really has no place to eat, so I chose this one. Souvenirs are very interesting, so you can go shopping.
Ali Mountain
There are two sightseeing routes in Alishan, Zhushan Line and Shenmu Line. Zhushan line is only used to watch the sunrise. It leaves at 4: 30 in the morning, only once a day. We lined up in the ticket hall at 3: 30 to buy tickets and got on the bus early. There are too many people, so there are no seats. You can have a rest in the car. There are two observation decks at sunrise, and Zhushan observation deck is at the exit. Don't be lazy at this time. Go to the observation deck-Kogasawara observation deck, which is far and high. Not many people, good view. There are two small trains back to the mountain, at 6: 00 and 6: 30. You can have some breakfast and have a rest after you go back, because Alishan scenic spot is actually not big, and you can definitely visit it in 3 hours. If you feel that you have plenty of time, you can also go to Fenqi Lake. Fenqi 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 be sure to pay attention to the time. My friend missed the last bus. Fortunately, some kind people offered to take him for a ride, otherwise you would really have to sleep in Fenwei Lake!
Kaohsiung
Get up early! Catch the earliest 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, and you can get on the bus by swiping the e-card. The bus doesn't sell tickets in advance, and now it can only be bought at 7- 1 1 in the morning, so it's better to be early and not sleepy.
Take the Taiwan Railway from Chiayi to Kaohsiung, and the tickets are also early bird tickets booked on Taobao in advance. The train will arrive in Kaohsiung in 45 minutes. You can put on your makeup on the train. Because I don't stay in Kaohsiung for a long time, I have to determine my itinerary in advance. The last bus to Kenting is 19: 10. Watch the time.
At the exit of Kaohsiung Railway Station, you can see the bus ticket office to Kenting, which is called Kenting Express. You can buy the last bus ticket to Kenting first. If you want to go to easycard, you can reserve seats in advance at the ticket office. In fact, there are many buses to Kenting, and the buses are all empty. You can swipe your card to get on the bus. It is best to book tickets in advance during peak hours. There are two sightseeing routes in Kaohsiung, one is Xiziwan Scenic Area, the main attraction is the British Doggering 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 Port. You can take the subway on both lines, so you can leave after storing your luggage!
My friend and I chose the Kaohsiung Eye Route. 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, I didn't choose to board Building 85, took a photo and left. Take a bus to Kaohsiung Eye Ferris wheel, in an amusement park on the top floor of a shopping mall. Very cute. Ferris wheel is colorful. If you have tickets, you can buy one get one free at the dessert station opposite. It's nice to have a glass of ice on a hot day ~
It's almost six nights.
It takes about two hours to get to Kenting in Kaohsiung. You can have a little rest. Kenting night market will be higher ~ you can feel the strong tropical customs. Find a good accommodation, put away 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
The only impression that Kenting gave me was that the weather was hot and people were enthusiastic, and the whole person got a lot of tan. There are not many restaurants in Kenting Old Street during the day, so you can choose to eat affordable beef noodles. The scenic spots in Kenting are not large and the traffic is inconvenient, so the best way to travel is to rent a motorcycle. Girls can rent one or two, 400 Taiwan dollars a day, two batteries. (Actually, we don't know whether they rent cars by time or by battery. In short, all you have to do is bargain and satisfy yourself. There are two lines, east and west. 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 mentioned earlier, the scenic spots in Kenting are very small, so it is not easy to find them by motorcycle. You can get a map of the car rental place first. We went to the lighthouse, Longpan Park and Sand Island. On the way back, we stopped our motorcycle in Fan Shi to watch the sunset.
The next day, diving was arranged temporarily, and I planned to arrange a scenic spot for one day, and the next day I would spend a day at the seaside. So in the evening, we rode a motorcycle to the west and went to Hengchun Ancient City and Chuhuo Park. It is small and dark. But when we went there, the flame was very strong 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.
