Yes, Neijiang Hotel is a designated drop-off and pick-up point for Free Go buses to / from Taoyuan Airport.

Cycle from Ershuei Station to Sun Moon Lake via Green Tunnel (綠色隧道) running alongside the Ji-ji railway branch line. Nice scenery. You can also board a train at Ershuei Station to Shueili Station and transfer to a Green Transit (Fong Long) bus to Sun Moon Lake.

Sun Moon Lake %26gt; Taipei West Station by Kuo Kuang bus takes 4 hrs 30 mins (not 120 mins)

Hi,

Thanks for your advise. May I know if the rest of the route are correct? or did I made any other errors?

Hope I am not asking too much, but do you know if there are any hotspring hotels in xinbeitou that allows tourist to use their hotspring facilities for a few hours without booking a room? Any good recommendations? =)

The rest of your travel route is fine.

There are many hot spring resorts in Beitou. Some hot spring resorts in Beitou popular with forumers:

Asia Pacific Resort: http://www.apresort.com.tw

Spa World Spring Resort: http://www.spaspringresort.com.tw

Spring City Resort: http://www.springresort.com.tw

Sweet Me Hot Spring Resort: http://www.sweetme.com.tw

Most of the hot spring resorts welcome tourists wanting a private soak for 1~2 hours without staying at the resort for the night.

Hey!

Thanks a lot for your advise!! Will review the SML route.. =) and contact the hotspring hotel for more details..

Check all the Hot spring websites carefully as this is the HOTSpring season so most have offers(packages) Also remember, it is always cheaper during weekdays.

This is the website for Hotsprings in Beitou:
