@plumberg said: How did you manage the lodging and transportation?

Just regular hotels - I booked everything using the trip.com because I'm already in the top tier for discounts from using it a lot in China. Prices are more than China, but still pretty reasonable - I was paying around $30-$60 per night, always got a double room and most had a lot of space.

The trains are pretty cheap and reliable, and there are some fast ones on the West Coast that are about 3x faster than the normal ones for about 50% more money. In cities, Taipei had a really good MRT (subway) system, Taizhong had I think 2 lines and Gaoxiong had maybe 1 subway and a light rail. Outside of Taipei, busses are the primary form of public transport, although they can be quite crap on some routes, so I used the hop-on hop-off public bikes quite a lot. You have to pre-register you pre-paid travel card thing (like a HK Octopus card if you've used that) for the bikes, and then it's about $0.30 per 30 minutes. The pre-paid card is great. There are a couple of competing brands, but you can use them all on all the busses and MRT, some local trains with unreserved seating too, and also in shops, but as you can only reload them with cash, there's not much point doing that.

You are an awesome trip planner it seems. I will probably DM you for some specifics if it is OK.

Thanks a bunch for sharing this.
