    Hi! You can first leave your backpack in a hotel or in a locker at Taipei Station. This will make self-guided travel easier. A heavy backpack will make you tired, so walking will be easier.😅

    Did you know that the receipt you receive after consumption can later have a chance to win an invoice bonus of 2 million yuan? Remember to collect all your invoices and receipts. On the one hand, you can keep accounts, and on the other hand, you can try to see if you have won the prize on the next prize matching day. For example, invoices from July to August will generate the winning amount on September 27, so I wish you all the chance to win. In this way, you can have a new Taiwan travel fund by collecting fees.

    Hi, there are many tourists who buy a local ticket or use the easycard and expect to take the express train. This is not allowed on the puyuma ltd exp, Taroko ltd exp and the new emu3000 tze chiang ltd exp(自強3000). If you do get on these trains with a local ticket, a penalty of the full express fare times 1.5 will be imposed. It may not be a lot but it helps to avoid the embarrassment and any potential conflicts.
    The easycard can be used for local and fast local. As well as chukwang exp and the old tzechiang (displayed as just 自強號 without the 3000). (However, you are not entitled to a seat on the express)
    Potential tourists please note!
    Enjoy your stay!

      We don’t need a manned front desk. The check-in instructions were non existent. We had no idea how to even enter the property before we arrived. All they said was to check in with the line app. As foreigners we don’t use the line app and Jiufen is clearly a tourist location. I downloaded the app anyway before we arrived but didn’t know we had to scan a QR code on the actual door to get check instructions. It’s completely fine to have self check in but at least communicate how it works before the guests arrive?
