Please be remind, white card is needed to entry to Immigration, for those Pig remember remind your friends who no sleep remember request more white card for your friends to fill-in.

another super important info,please write where u stay in taiwan for day 1. As we are staying at taichung but we didnt know the homestay name they are refuse us to entry and ask us to call and get more info. End we only remember Qingjing homestay 观星园 so we just wrote staying at Guan Xing Yuan FINALLY they allow us to entry...

Dear friends, remember to ask for more detail to avoid this issue against...

After entry to Taiwan TaoYuan airport, the 1st thing we plan to do is buying Phone SimCard for 7 Days used. We have online search for which phone company is the best and we found 中华电讯is the best. So we decided to buy 中华电讯for 7 Days Unlimited Data with NTD 500.

after immigration check turn to right to get telecommunication service and turn to left to get bus service to Taoyuan HSR.

we brought one sim and sharing hotspot for 4 of us, it's save and worth. their internet is must fast and better den Malaysia and singapore data =) Upload photo, facebook-ing, we-chat, what's app for 4 of us not an issue.

Get sim card at right hand of exit of immigration and turn left to get Ubus 705 to Taoyuan High Speed Railway station. remember to find Ubus 705 and ticket NTD 30 each and get your bus at counter 12 you can easy find the bus just opposite the ticket counter.

Took Ubus 705, 15min to arrive TaoYuan HSR at entrance No 5. Go entry to Gate 5 ticket counter at your right side. Q-ing for buying HSR ticket to Taichung/ 高雄 and others place =)

We brought selected seat with additional NTD 20 - total NTD 590 from Taoyuan Station to Taichung Station. remember to ask which counter to board your HSR. if you missed out the train that's all you need to re-buy the ticket again.
