Taipei 4D3N, July 2014, Day 1

Day 1,
28th July 2014.

My first overseas solo trip with my bf of 7 years. I would say this trip was to celebrate my first step into adulthood and both our graduation. Even though it was just a short trip, we enjoyed it very much and I felt accomplished because we managed to cross out almost everything on our planned itinerary. :)

We took Scoot from Changi Airport T2 and our deparature time was 00:45am, reaching Taoyuan Airport T1 at 05:30am.


Our accommodation was at Hotel Puri in Ximending, and it was a pleasant stay. Even though the room wasn't very big, but it has all that one needs, is clean and new. Located very near Ximending MRT station, it was just a 5 mins walk! I would recommend this hotel for couples and friends - cheap and comfortable!

We booked the Superior Room for the 3 nights for NT$7500 (S$312).
Address: 108台北市成都路27巷6號. (No. 6, Lane 27, Cheng-du Road, Wanhua District, Taipei 108, Taiwan.)

Upon reaching Taoyuan Airport, we took Taiwan Bus Corp. (KuoKuang Transport 1819) to Taipei Main Station.

Direction signs were very obvious, and we went down the travelator to purchase the bus tickets at the Express Buses Station. They have scheduled timings and we were lucky we were on time to catch the next bus without having to wait. 

Bus tickets are NT$125 (S$5.30) each, with travelling duration approximately 55 mins.
