Hi again,
I have now looked at the first 4 links you recommended, because they are the ones that seemed most relevant for my case.
traveling.network.com.tw/default.htm
I like the way they have organized the different things to see and do for the various areas of Taiwan.
They should have more listing of alternative accomodations, and links to those, so the user can read more about the alternatives.
taiwan-map.com/
Despite the name, this site only cover Taipei in terms of places to go, stay and visit.
sinica.edu.tw/tit/ :?
Some good descriptions of places to go and see under the “Scenery” section, but too few and some are too old. Need update and additions.
No links for “places to stay”.

Too many disconnected links to have any value.
I really hope they could organize a web-site where you key in keywords or select options.
Area:
North, East, West, South, Center
Topice of interest:
Dining, Party, hiking, bicycling, diving, swimming, shopping, sightseeing, scenery, nature, etc. etc.
Accomodation:
High standard hotel, mid standard hotel, low standard hotel, motel, cabins, villa, camping, etc.
Facilities:
Shopping Mall, Swimming pool indoor, swimming pool outdoor, playground, non-smoking rooms, resaturant, bar, etc. etc.
Location:
City, town, countryside, mountain, beach, etc.
ETc, etc.
After keying in or selecting the alternatives, the web-site generate a report of alternative places for you to go and stay, with links to relevant information.
The Touristbureau of Taiwan really need to sharpen up their information ability to be able to attract more tourists.
