My wife is from Taichung but we haven’t been back in over ten years.
We also have a 3.5 year old now, and we’ve got a few questions about her first visit to see her grandparents. They live in a village on outskirts of Taichung.
We’re arriving from Australia, a terrible flight which departs at 10pm and arrives Taoyuan at 5am. We are going to need a place to crash and recuperate before we travel down to Taichung.
Since Airbnbs and hotels usually have afternoon check ins, we thought maybe a non sleazy love hotel near the airport might be what we need to rest and recuperate.
Any opinions on this? Not sure what other options are available. Can anyone recommend a love hotel, ideally walking distance from the airport? We will have lots of bags.
Also, once we’ve arrived in Taichung, we’re really not sure about how to get around with our 3 year old. In the past it’s been so easy, my wife’s family has a scooter we use. But we’re not sure that’s safe with a 3 year old. How do parents of young children do it in Taiwan?
And we’ve never driven a car in Taiwan… The idea of it scares us both. We are bringing our daughter’s car seat with us so we could install it in a taxi if needed.
Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated!
