Hello Helpers,
We are a family of 2 adults + 3 kids age 5, 8 , and 10, and would be arriving at TaiChung HSR High Speed Rail station in the late afternoon 3:20pm . This is the 1st day, so buying the SML Sun Moon Lake Day pass at this time does not make sense.
- We plan to take the Nantou bus to SML, or take a taxi directly to the hotel. Learned conflicting information – some said bus take 2 hours, but Nantou official site says 1 hour 20 minutes. Think taxi would take just 1 hour. Correct?
I am also equally worried about the queue at the bus station, if we can board the 3:45pm Nantou bus from HSR to SML.
-
We would choose taxi if the cost is NT$1200 one-way to the hotel. Online quotes is about NT$2500, but I read people said it can be as low as NT$1000 if we hire the taxi locally at HSR station. Is that possible? And if so, would the taxi use meter or just a package final price?
-
After arriving at the SML hotel, where is the closest location to buy the Sun Moon Lake Day pass for our 2nd day travel around SML?
-
On the way back from SML to TaiChung on the 3rd day, for Taxi ride, is it better to get it at the ShuiShe Plaza pier? I guess more choices and better prices?
Thanks much!
Sean
