Taipei & Hualien

Another exciting trip is visiting the island of Taiwan. China airlines' passengers were being welcomed with view of wide rice fields when the plane was headed to Taoyuan International Airport. All passengers who were seated in middle row could be able to see this view from their 6.5 inch personal Audio Video on Demand (AVOD) in-flight entertainment system screen. They might choose the view from front or bottom located video camera.

The fabulous road & rail connections stitch Taipei, as capital of Taiwan, to other main cities across the island. There is almost no traffic jam in Taipei's busiest area, due to its extensive mapped road structure. The view from 101st floor of Taipei 101 tower shows a well planned & designed city layout.

From Taipei city to Hualien city takes about 3-4 hours trip by train. Passenger will pass the great nature view of mountain, hill, seashore, plateau, compact houses, hill tunnel, and several modest train stops.

Languages for communication are Chinese, English, and/or Hokkien.

Taiwan. A short trip with great scene & experience.

Things to try, see, and do:

Din Tai Fung (restaurant)
Mongolian BBQ (restaurant)
Five Dime Restaurant
Taipei 101 tower (shopping mall & 360 degree of panoramic city view)
Shin lin night market
Taroko Park (marble natural resource)-Hualien
