I am also planning to do a solo travel to Taiwan next year. I'm Indonesian, doesn't speak any Mandarin at all, but since I survived my solo travel to China, I'm pretty excited to go to Taiwan.

I think most of the train stations sell them. The officer accepted my NUS matric card from Singapore.

If your accommodation is far from train station it would be quite a hassle but it's not an everyday thing - only when you are switching places. If you are worried, travel light! I'd recommend you to bring a four wheeled luggage (easier to stroll) if you love to shop. =) Lynne Chuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388573074963573027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344563255593922494.post-15845618458358233302016-01-12T22:20:20.314-08:002016-01-12T22:20:20.314-08:00Hi there, im planning for a solo trip to Taiwan to...Hi there, im planning for a solo trip to Taiwan too and planning to visit taichung and taipei or other parts of taiwan. just one thing that im worried about is the luggage! was it of a great hassle to bring around your stuffs/luggage from stations or did you do more of like a backpack travelling?

If you are only look at 1 week, perhaps you can visit at most 2-3 cities otherwise it will be too travel intensive in terms of trains/buses and you won't have much time to relax properly. But if you are going for more than 1 week, I will recommend you to fly to Kaohsiung (South of Taiwan) and return from Taipei. Taichung is a good place with really good authentic Taiwanese food and less tourist as compared to Taipei. The transportation in Taipei is very good, just like Singapore. Don't worry to much about that. Just make sure you purchase the mobile data SIM card at the airport! With GPS (google map), you will never get lost. I have detailed all the places I been to in my blog posts, though there's one more place that I always wanted to go - CingJing Farm. =)Lynne Chuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388573074963573027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344563255593922494.post-3000365075659033582015-11-05T02:20:55.230-08:002015-11-05T02:20:55.230-08:00hello!! im so happy tat i found ur blog as im sing...hello!! im so happy tat i found ur blog as im singaporean too and i was also thinking of going to taiwan alone nxt time and i rlly do not know whr to go at taiwan as i had nvr went thr before oya and do u have any other famous or popular places for first timer solo traveller like me? and i also wanted to know whether the transportation thr was anything similiar to sg as taiwan looks rather complicated in transportation for me...haha thx alot though!!!HUIHUIZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10591779090533516933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344563255593922494.post-48772648732481274912015-07-17T08:47:32.594-07:002015-07-17T08:47:32.594-07:00Hello, I stayed in Taichung for 2 nights before he...Hello, I stayed in Taichung for 2 nights before heading back to Taipei. I wanted to visit Taichung as it's different from Taipei - less urban and high ratio of Taiwanese to tourist. Fengjia Night Market in Taichung is also the largest night market in Taiwan. I'd say the feel was different and I will visit Taichung again in the future.

I'm not sure if there's a bus schedule available for the local buses, I usually just google how to get to a place and wait for the bus at the bus stop. Unless you are talking about those buses from the airport, then you should be able to find it online. :) <br /><br />Just stay out of empty places and just ignore random people who don't look like sales girl/guy approaching you. Taiwan is a safe place. Don't worry too much and enjoy yourselves!
