Suggested DIY Itinerary for a 3 Days 2 Nights Stay in Taiwan


Taiwan view

Taiwan is one of the most visit countries by Filipinos because 1. You only need an e-visa to enter the country, 2. The country is very near the Philippines and 3. There are a lot of interesting places to visit in Taiwan. Aside from the must visit tourist spots in the country, you can enjoy Taiwan's food culture as well as the friendly locals. Transportation is also very convenient. Just make sure not to go there when there's a typhoon because wind could be very harsh in Taiwan.

I am going to share to you today my personal itinerary when I went to Taiwan. This does not include the must-go places because of the time constraint (and the bad weather), but if you need some reference including the location, how-to-go-there instruction and the costs, you may find this itinerary handy.
