Taipei Itinerary with DIY cherry blossom tour from Jan. 24 to 29 (Chinese New Year holidays) [Ask Luo-Mu Jie]

Taipei cherry blossom itinerary

Dear Luo-Mu Jie,

Hi! My name is Del and I'm a Filipino-Chinese stuying here in Hong Kong. Can I ask for for an itinerary for Jan. 24 to 29? I will be celebrating the Chinese New Year in Taiwan, hopeful to see some cherry blossoms and be at one with nature.

Here are some details of my arrival and departure: I will be arriving at midnight of Jan. 24/25. On Jan. 29, I will be leaving Taiwan to Hongkong early morning. My chosen hotel is a walking distance from Taipei Main Station.

-----------------

No problem Del! Here is your itinerary that you can easily follow.

Because you're visiting Taiwan during Chinese New Year, the intervals of the next buses and trains takes a bit longer than usual. For example, on the Blue Line of the Taipei MRT it could take 8 minutes before the next train arrives. For the low-floor buses in Taipei and New Taipei, you would see notes posted on the bus stops, telling people about the special schedule during the Lunar New Year holidays. Take note of this reminder.

See below the itinerary that I have created for you.
