Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) One Way Tickets for Foreign Visitors
It was as comfortable as Japan's Shinkansen bullet train. I was glad I could use it at half price for a one-way trip. Booking was also smooth.

[KYC Pre-Registration – Fast Pickup] Taiwan SIM Card | Chunghwa Telecom 4G/5G Unlimited Data Prepaid Card | Pickup at Taoyuan Airport or Airport MRT | Includes EasyCard / iPASS One Card
The store was small and a little hard to find, but I was able to find it by asking various people! The YuYu Card didn't have many options, and they were all anime character designs! But it was cheap, so it's totally fine!

Carplus Car Rental: Taiwan Car Rental Self-Driving Tour Reservation
We rented two cars this time, but due to system settings... there was a discrepancy with the store... during this Mid-Autumn Festival holiday... everyone waited for almost an hour to pick up the cars. During this time, there was also an extra charge for full vehicle insurance... the cost of two cars for two days was equivalent to renting another car... haha... but the cars were in good condition, and the air conditioning was cool enough... so it was acceptable. As for fuel and mileage metering, I think it's best to write that in the rental agreement... so consumers can weigh the total cost and avoid exceeding their budget.

Taiwan PASS | HSR + MRT + Tourist Shuttle
I was a traveler from Japan and stayed at a hotel in Taipei. I chose the following options: 3-day unlimited ride pass for the Taiwan High-Speed Rail 48-hour unlimited ride pass for Kaohsiung Menggo Railway Round trip from Taipei to Taoyuan Airport Metro and took a day trip from Taipei to Kaohsiung. In Kaohsiung, I visited the main tourist attractions, enjoyed using the high-speed rail, metro, and light rail, and was very satisfied with the port city atmosphere.

HAIFENG Dessert Train Ticket | Taiwan Railway
Both the sweet and savory meals were delicious, and the train stopped twice to explore, listen to historical stories, and take photos of Turtle Island. The interior of the train was upscale and comfortable, and the service staff were very friendly.

Taiwan Din Tai Fung Dining E-Voucher | Xiaolongbaos, Steamed Dumplings & Fried Rice
Food and atmosphere is exactly as expected and similar to DTF in the states. The wait time is really long, but I heard of the “hack” to buy your set via KKDay and it worked!! The trick is to NOT pull a number. Instead, walk up to the hostess with your QR code, they’ll scan your code and get you in within 15/20 minutes. You can also add additional food via a separate check (your set is prepaid via KKDay). Good Luck 👍👍

THSR 2-Day & 3-Day Pass | For Foreign Travelers Only
I used this service for a round trip to Kaohsiung. At the ticket counter, you show your reservation number and passport to receive a ticket booklet, which you then show to pass through the gate. Due to my travel itinerary, I could only go to Kaohsiung, but it was definitely worth it. It's a great opportunity to visit cities other than Taipei! I think it will become a popular service for repeat customers.
