Yes we are back from a 6D6N food trip to Taiwan. We flew Malaysia Airlines and of course,we got a very good seat experience for a decent shut eye. Before we knew it, four hours passed and we arrived to Taoyuan International Airport. Here’s our executive summary, more on the details later!

Day 1
Taoyuan International Airport 桃園國際機場 – Taipei Hostel – National Palace Museum 國立故宮博物院- Shihlin Night Market 士林夜市

Day 2
Fu Hang Soy Bean @ HuaShan Market 阜杭豆漿 – Taiwan Story Land 台灣故事館 – Ah Sui Sai Pork’s Trotter 阿水獅豬腳大王 – 688 Beef Noodles 牛爸爸牛肉麵 – 101, Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, New York New York – Shida Night Market 師大夜市

Day 3
Yang Ming Shan National Park 陽明山國家公園 - BeiTou (hot spring) 北投 – DanShui Old Street 淡水老街 – Lover’s Bridge & Fisherman Wharf 情人桥,淡水漁人碼頭 – Xi Men Ding 西門町

Day 4
Pingxi, Jiufen, + North East Coat, + Jinguashi, + Keelung: JingTong 菁桐 – PingShi 平溪 – ShiFen 十分 - Jiufen 九份 – Windsor B&B 溫莎堡景觀民宿 – Seafood Dinner near KeeLung 基隆 + North East Coast, + Jinguashi Gold Ecological Park + Keelung Miao Kou Night Market

Note: I have included some places of interest from my latest Taiwan Trip into the itinerary with a “+” sign. Pingxi, Jiufen, Jinguashi, Keelung are townships that lie adjacent to each other. It is best to spend 2D1N to cover places of interest like Pingxi + Jiufen + Jinguashi + Keelung Night Market (spend a night in Jiufen). Mode of transportation includes inter-township buses, taxis or chartered car. It is best to charter a car (check with the B&B owner) to avoid complications and to save time, and the view along the way from Jiufen to Jinguashi (North East Coast東北角海岸) is spectacular!

Day 5
LuoDong, Yilan County: Yilan Braised Duck – Lo Dong Night Market 羅東觀光夜市 – Rothenburg Bed & Breakfast 羅騰堡民宿

Day 6
Dong Shan River Park 冬山河親水公園 – Wu Fen Pu 五分埔商圈 + Raohe Street Night Market- Tripod King Ma La Steamboat 鼎王麻辣鍋

BONUS! From Taiwan August 2009

Take a MRT train to Houshanpi Station (blue line), go to Exit 1 and walk north along Jhongpo N. Rd. to the intersection of Jhongpo N. Rd. and Yongji Rd.

Our most expensive meal in Taiwan ( NT 1481 / RM 164) – Ma La Steamboat Dinner supper at Tripod King. 鼎王麻辣鍋

As a token of appreciation, the waitresses need to do a 90 degree bend whenever they approach the patron’s tables.

It was 2am by the time we finished eating. We hailed a cab back to our hostel to do some packing and stuffing before taking a 4.40am bus to the airport. Zai Jian Taiwan!

That’s all for now. Stay tuned for more updates.

Hi Carol

Nice to hear from you! I would advise you to skip Yilan and go around Taipei area instead. Our trip was a bit rush due to that.

What have we misses? Hmmm other interesting night markets such as RaoHe, Gong Guan etc. We have skipped a few places of historical value such as Zhong Zheng memorial hall. Maybe you could include that?

I have to count this as one of the best trip report I have ever read. The pictures were beautiful and goes well with the description. I will be going there soon and will surely benefit from your description of the route to each destination. If not too much trouble, I would love to get my hand on a softcopy of your handmade travel guide. (it looks very professionally put together). Thanks in advance and looking forward to an equally enjoyable trip.

Hi Liching

Ermmm. I don’t really like the place, it might be me
I would recommend u to stay at a service apartment call “go for travel” but it can only fit max 3 person.
or city inn is a very good hotel, superb location
