Your Taiwan Trip Planning is Complete! Unbeatable Discount Coupons

Taiwan is a place you can visit again and again and never get tired of......

As I was preparing for my free-and-easy trip to Taiwan, I've compiled a list of the most important things

you'd want to look up first!

During my Taipei trip, I personally stayed at both Just Sleep Ximending and

Caesar Metro Taipei Hotel. And now, by booking through Klook with their lowest price discounts,

you can pre-book various tours and admission tickets.

It's even cheaper if you do it this way,

so if you're planning a trip to Taiwan, definitely check this out!

What's the weather like in Taiwan in August and September?

Taiwan has a humid subtropical climate, which means it's generally a bit hotter and

more humid.

Especially in August and September, along with the intense heat, you can expect frequent showers.

So, it's really a good idea to pack at least one umbrella.

Raincoats are okay, but if it's too humid, they can stick to your body,

which isn't ideal... right?

Category	August	September
Average Temperature	28~34℃	27~32℃
Feels Like Temperature	Very Hot	Hot & Humid
Rainfall	Frequent Showers	Some Rainy Days
Recommended Attire	T-shirts, Shorts, Sandals	Pack one light long-sleeved top

It's quite hot during the day, but indoors, the air conditioning is usually blasting.

So, if you're not a fan of strong AC, you might want to bring a light jacket or cardigan.

My Personal Review of Two Taiwan Hotels

During my Taiwan trip, I stayed at both hotels, and

each had its own unique advantages.

Just Sleep Ximending

​

What I was most satisfied with was its location.

It's located right in the heart of Ximending, making MRT access

incredibly convenient. At night, you can immediately dive into shopping and

explore the night market.

You can walk to most of Ximending's best restaurants and shopping streets.

So, if it's your first time visiting Taipei,

I highly recommend staying in the Ximending area.

✔ Heart of Ximending

✔ Superb MRT Access

✔ Walkable to Night Market

Caesar Metro Taipei

On the other hand, for room condition, Caesar Metro Taipei was

a bit more satisfying.

The rooms were spacious, the bedding was comfortable, and the bathroom condition was also

excellent. If you're looking for a quiet place to relax,

you'll be even more satisfied here.

✔ Spacious Rooms

✔ Comfortable Bedding

✔ Excellent Bathroom Condition

It's best to reserve your spot at

Taipei Din Tai Fung in advance!

A must-visit culinary gem on any Taiwan trip is, without a doubt,

Din Tai Fung.

However, during peak meal times, you'll often find yourself waiting for over an hour.

✔ Book your preferred time in advance

✔ Pre-select your menu

✔ Significantly reduce on-site waiting time

If your travel itinerary is packed, I believe the biggest advantage is definitely saving precious time.

Typically, there's a wait of over 80 minutes at Din Tai Fung, but many reviews suggest that if you book in advance via Klook, you can enter in just 20-30 minutes!

>> Book Your Taipei Din Tai Fung Experience

National Palace Museum

Taiwan's premier museum, where you can encounter

world-renowned artifacts.

By booking your admission tickets in advance, you can cut down on time spent purchasing tickets at the venue.

​

​

Yehliu Geopark

Taiwan's iconic natural attraction, famous for its unique mushroom rocks and the Queen's Head rock.

While you can buy tickets on-site, booking in advance ensures a much smoother and more convenient entry.

​

​

Yehliu, Shifen, Jinguashi, Jiufen (Yes-Jin-Ji) Bus Tour

If you're visiting Taiwan independently for the first time, this itinerary comes highly recommended.

You can explore Yehliu, Shifen, Jinguashi, and Jiufen all in one day, significantly reducing travel stress.

It's affordable AND convenient!

​

Beitou Hot Springs

A popular spot many travelers seek out for their final Taiwan itinerary.

It was wonderful to relax and unwind from travel fatigue with a hot spring bath, and the ability to book various hot spring facilities at a discounted price is another great advantage.

Experience hot springs without needing an overnight hotel stay.
