Finally we arrived at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport at 4.45am. So happy to get here earlier than expected. So, we can't get the sim card upon our arrival since it's way too early and the shops here don't operate 24 hours like in Singapore so we just got to make our way to Xi Men Ding.
When you exit from the arrival hall, turn right and you will see the telecommunication counters which are open only from 8am to 12mn, proceed to take the travellator heading downwards. You will see a big sign stating "Bus to City". From there, you'll be able to get the bus tickets to Taipei from the Ticketing Counters. Look for the 国光客运 (Kuo-Guang) counter to get the bus tickets (1819) to Taipei Main Station. Each bus ticket will cost you NT125.
The freezing girlfriend as the temperature is now 12 degrees here
Do remember to be punctual as the bus leaves on time and do keep the luggage collection ticket properly when the bus driver issue it to you as you'll need it to collect your luggage later on.
Start of our 40 minutes bus journey to Taipei lo. The journey will be in this manner: Taoyuan International Airport -> Taipei School for the Hearing Impaired -> Ku Lun Street Intersaction -> Taini Building (Maykay Memorial Hospital) -> The Ambassador Hotel -> Taipei Main Station (Near taxi stand).
And so after alighting at Taipei Main Station, we head over to the Metro counter to get two single ticket which cost NT20 per adult which will get us to Xi Men Station via the Bannan line. Because it seems that we're only able to get purchase the Easy Card from Xi Men station.
Lalala we're finally here at Xi Men Ding with NoNo. Head over to Hotel Midtown Richardson to put our luggage before heading out to grab some Taiwan traditional breakfast. Yummy yummy delicious simple food to ease my gastric pain before heading back to the hotel lobby for a rest before we head back out for a walk when the shops are open.
Finally the shops are starting to open from 10am onwards and I can bring the girlfriend to try out the 阿宗面线. So many yummy yummy street food here at Xi Men Ding. We even went to play the capsule toy catching machines and we caught two of the mini toys hehe.
Walk till our stomach started to growl so we head over to 馬辣頂級麻辣鴛鴦火鍋 for our lunch. Yummy buffet that cost us NT598 during the weekends, but caught us by surprise was the cleaning fee that they will be charging the customers on a per head charge of 10%, which meant we will be charge 20% on top of our bill. But well, nothing to complain about since the food is good.
Walk around for abit before heading back to check-in to our hotel and rest our eyes before heading out again. Rest will 6pm+ before we head over to 士林夜市 by taking the Metro train via the Bannan Line to Taipei Main Station and transfer to the Tamsui-Xinyi line to JianTan Station. Lalala so happy to be here with the girlfriend and seeing her play all the darts shooting, gun shooting and basketball games. Walk till about 10pm+ before we head back to Xi Men Ding and rest for the night.
