My friend impulsively booked us a round trip ticket to Taipei having no cheap flight for Japan or Australia. With only a month to prepare for the itinerary, I was literally overwhelmed with things to include and what not.
Here are the things you need to prepare before arriving in Taiwan.
1. Register at https://etravel.gov.ph 3 days before your travel.
2. Register at lucky land https://5000.taiwan.net.tw/index_en.html
Taiwan Tourism Bureau launched a subsidy scheme titled "Taiwan the Lucky Land," in which NT$5,000 will be provided to 500,000 foreign tourists who win a lucky draw over the course of three years from May 1, 2023 up to June 30, 2025
Step 1. Register at least 1 day and within 7 days before arrival
Step 2. Try your luck and draw at the arrivals hall of airports in Taiwan
Step 3. Receive your prize on the spot and enjoy your trip to Taiwan
Prizes: Ipass ,Easy Card, iCash and Accomodation Vouchers
My friend won the draw (Easycard) while I was not. I guess I ran out of luck this time.
Things to consider in making out your itinerary :
1. What do you want to see/experience
2. Where will you stay
3. DIY or join tours
After long deliberate research, I was able to complete our itinerary. Having 2 bases - Taichung and Ximending. Initially, I wanted to go to Alishan but decided to scrap it as it will consume a lot of travel hours not to mention multiple check-ins. I'll probably include this on my next visit with the itinerary that will better suit it.
1st Day - Taiwan Arrival, travel to Taichung
2nd Day - Qingjing and Gaomei Wetlands
3rd Day - Nantou- Sun Moon Lake
4th Day - Taichung Half Day Tour/ Check-in Ximending
5th day - Beitou Thermal Valley (DIY) / Shopping
6th day- Northcoast Tour ( Jiufen, Shifen ) Booked tour
7th Day - Taipei 101/ Tamsui
8th Day - Flight Back home
I did not include the 8th day in the count for day in Taiwan as it just literally flight back home.
