Going To Taipei or Kaohsiung, Taiwan? In this installment of our Taiwan Travel Guide Series, we share our Taipei + Kaohsiung (and Kenting) trip itinerary and report, complete with comprehensive reviews of the attractions that we visited.
Taipei, Kaohsiung and Kenting Blog Trip Report
We are sharing our Kaoshiung itinerary and Taipei itinerary where we explored the 2 most vibrant cities in Taiwan within 1 trip. This is our second time in Taiwan. This time, we chanced upon a fantastic Scoot promotion in July when planning our year end vacations.
To sweeten the deal, Scoot has added the multi-city booking function which allows us to fly to Kaohsiung and return from Taipei!
Total cost for 2 persons works out to be SGD $641.74 inclusive of seat selection, baggage fees (25 kg to Kaohsiung + 40 kg from Taipei) and Credit Card Booking Fees.
We will like to thank Our Travel Partner KKday for sponsoring some of our activities during our trip! 🙂 Thank you, KKday!
