How to choose a good flight?
There are direct flights from major countries and regions in the world to Taiwan. Most of the international flights take off and land at Taoyuan airport in Taipei. A small number of flights from mainland, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia can directly arrive at Kaohsiung and Taichung, and Guangzhou citizens can freely travel to Taiwan. They can choose "Guangzhou round trip", "Hong Kong round trip", "Macao round trip", "Shenzhen round trip" and "Guangzhou Hong Kong round trip", "Hong Kong Guangzhou round trip" There are many different flight arrangements, such as "return to Guangzhou", "return to Shenzhen" and so on. China Southern Airlines has direct flights from Guangzhou to Taipei every day.

The one-way fare is about 1500 yuan.
Taiwan experts from a club said that direct flights from Guangzhou to Taiwan can reach airports in Taipei and Kaohsiung. However, due to the limited flights, the price of one-way flights is generally around 1500-2000 yuan. If you have plenty of time to travel, you may as well go to the neighboring Hong Kong and Macao by air. Because there are many flights between the two places to Taiwan, the price is also more favorable.
How many ways to walk on the island?
The land transportation in Taiwan is very convenient. After arriving in Taiwan, tourists can choose all kinds of transportation facilities. In Taipei and Kaohsiung, the MRT (the subway in the mainland) can be described as covering most of the city's sightseeing areas, and the citizens can carry out convenient MRT tourism. As for the transportation between counties and cities, you can take high-speed rail or Taiwan Railway, with moderate price and comfortable environment. Taiwan's high-speed rail has greatly shortened the distance between Taipei and Kaohsiung. Within 96 minutes, it connects one south and one north of Taiwan. It passes through Taipei, Banqiao, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Taichung, Jiayi, Tainan and Zuoying, etc. it can make 113 two-way trips every day, which is very convenient and fast. Taiwan's railways are closely connected with major cities and towns for tourists to take.

Taiwan's long-distance bus is one of the most commonly used means of transportation because of its intensive flights and cheaper fare.

At present, the charging standards in different regions are not the same. For taxis in Taipei, the starting price is 70 yuan. From 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. of the next day, the night rate is increased by 20 yuan. In other cities, the way of price calling is often used. It is recommended to set the price before boarding.
There is also a "Taiwan good travel" special tour bus launched by "Taiwan Tourism Bureau", which is specially used to transport tourists to major scenic spots. Nanhu international travel experts in Taiwan said that tourists in Taipei can first buy a leisurely travel card, which is similar to Guangzhou Yangchengtong's stored value card. The minimum stored value is NT $100, which can be used when taking buses, MRT, high-speed rail and other means of transportation in Taipei, or in convenience stores. It is very convenient to buy tickets for some scenic spots without queuing.

In terms of price, for accommodation in famous scenic spots in Taiwan, such as senior hotels and hot spring clubs in Yangmingshan (Taipei), the reference price of double rooms is between 1300 yuan and 1500 yuan. Other scenic spots, such as the Qing Dynasty (Taichung), have a variety of ways of playing, and accommodation options are frugal.

How is it the most convenient and efficient way to 'fight for blood'?
UnionPay card can be used in Taiwan. In some hotels and businesses, if there is a sign that UnionPay card can be used, it can be used. In Taiwan's roadside banks and convenience stores, as long as there is a sign of UnionPay card on the ATM, you can withdraw money. In addition, as long as the refund amount is less than NT $1000, the refund can be made on the spot on the day of shopping. After the tax refund, tourists need to take the goods out of the country within 30 days from the date of shopping, and when leaving the country, they need to show the unified invoice, tax refund details verification sheet and passport stamped with "passenger has applied for business tax refund", and apply to the Customs for inspection.
Taiwan travel experts of a club said that it is the most cost-effective way to buy cosmetics and maintenance products of Taiwan's local brands and Japanese brands in Taiwan. Every large department store anniversary, women's day and other festivals will be crazy discount, usually high-end goods discount a lot of discount to 50%. Or you can go to the drugstores in all major business circles, such as Kangshi drugstore, meihuatai popular life Museum, etc. cosmetics are not only fresh and complete, but also cheap, and some goods are generally about 1 / 3 cheaper than the mainland.

The face value of coins is 50 yuan, 20 yuan, 10 yuan, 5 yuan and 1 yuan. Li Dongyun, manager of Guangzhou Travel Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Center, suggests that if you want to exchange new Taiwan dollars, you'd better exchange them at the airport, and you don't need to exchange a lot of cash, because UnionPay cards can be used in many places in Taiwan. If you want to shop, you can swipe the cards directly. The cash is only for reserve, so as to ensure the safety of property and personal.
