I came across these Cathay Pacific specials on flights to Taipei (TPE) and Kaohsiung (KHH) in Taiwan from $828 return.

Departing Melbourne (MEL), Sydney (SYD), Perth (PER) and Brisbane (BNE).

Some are daytime flights with quick transfers in HK — a nice option compared with China Airlines pricey direct flights that go overnight and arrive at 5am.

Bookings until 31 August 2024 11:59pm (AEST).

Departures from now until 30 June 2025.

Check-in baggage: Economy Class: Light 23kg per piece, maximum 1 piece.

    If you haven’t been, Taiwan is like if you take the best parts of Japan, HK, and maybe China, and combine them into a country. One of my favourite holiday destinations

      What is worth seeing there?

      • daowiies on 17/08/2024 - 17:39

        Do a tour group. They have some amazing natural sceneries, from mountain ranges, beaches, temples and food all worth seeing/trying at least once. Might require a bit of language skill to get around if you don't have a tour group, but it's totally worth it.

          Anything in particular? Went to the gorge. Did the lantern festival with the PM. Went to the spirited away place. Did hiking to the free onsen. All pretty meh, and I've been to some pretty meh places

            @belongsinforums: I did the popular stuff same as you but plus the the tour which was more into the indigenous culture + temples. But I suppose if you've done a trip already there's probably better places to visit unless you're returning for an event like Computex or something.

    • princesszeldachechen on 17/08/2024 - 18:22

      that's too exaggerating when you include the best of japan.

      I had so high hopes, but left disappointed. Just my personal experience. I would not go back unless I go with a friend who speaks and reads Chinese.

      If you are Asian, solo traveller and don't speak Mandarin, basically you will have a difficult time - it is not designed for international travellers (English signage etc.), and I didn't feel any friendly vibes from locals / shop keepers at all.

      Initially they would just assume you are just another local Taiwanese or mainland Chinese tourist (they seem to the main tourists), and generally seemed very annoyed after finding out that I, of Asian descent, couldn't speak Mandarin so that they they had to bother to resort to their broken English… and the vibe was just dismissive / "sigh not going to bother with English"

      You may find the "friendly" stereotype to be true of you appear foreign (not Asian), and will have a better time with friends who can speak Mandarin / read signage.

      Personally enjoyed the museums in Taipei (though most signage in the museums are not in english but in Chinese or even Japanese), and the hot pools (many around the country). Night markets were a miss, nothing compared to Singapore for example and I wasn't a fan of the food. Was interesting learning about Taiwan's history and it's relations with its neighbours.

    I really want to get to Taiwan but not ready just yet. Nice solid deal though

    Don't forget the tourism lottery! 5000 NTD ~ $250, so public transport covered for the entirety at least! https://5000.taiwan.net.tw/index_en.html

      This is a great tip

    Hows Taiwan with a baby?

    • Chumpmaster on 17/08/2024 - 18:18

      Metro lines are super convenient in Taipei, the east district of Taipei is modern and has a lot of foot paths. Although ditch the pram if you want to go night markets

    Taiwan is a good country, unlike China

      sad thing is that you have to transit via HK… which gives them to power to search, detain and inspect your computer, phone etc.

      Personally…i'd avoid.

      • aztecian on 17/08/2024 - 19:15

        good point, pass then. wait for deals from china airline even if it costs more

      Your government recognises Taiwan as a country, no?

    • ram4ram on 17/08/2024 - 19:12

      🍿

    • aztecian on 17/08/2024 - 19:15

      Yep, planning to take my kids there to see what REAL Chinese culture is like there, without worrying about being abducted

  • Eeples on 17/08/2024 - 18:35

    Thanks OP booked. Paid $877 for late March.

    SYD->Taipai (9 nights in Taiwan)
    KAOHSIUNG -> HKG (2 nights) [paid $24 extra to get 11.20am flight]
    HKG->SYD

    All day flights.

    • Time has come on 17/08/2024 - 19:15

      Sounds great! Well worth paying a bit extra for day flights.

      I'm interested to use Kaohsiung airport myself as it's so close to the city.
