Last year we went to Japan and stayed right in the centre of Shibuya. Convenient but hard to walk around, especially with pram, due to the crowds. Maybe try and keep your time in Taipei minimal this time since you've already been before.

This currency, known as tevau, is formed as coils resembling long belts and can reach up to ten meters long . The manufacture of the feather coils is limited to just a few hereditary specialists, working on one island, who are thought to receive their skills from spirits. One man locates the small Scarlet Honeyeater birds living in the rain forest, and traps them using sticky perches. He then plucks the feathers from their heads, breasts and backs. A double coil of currency may consist of around 50-60,000 red feathers.

As the track swung up to a high point we could see the extensive protected lowland forest below. After arrival and meeting out local trail guide we walked into the mature rain forest with some of the tallest and oldest trees we had seen during the trip. The remainder of the morning activities included a presentation from Suzanne in the Lecture Room on ‘Cargo Cults of Melanesia’ followed by an afternoon bus tour exploring Santo and downtown Luganville, the provincial capital. During WWII, particularly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, the island was used by Allied forces as a military supply and support base, naval harbor, and airfield. In a highly fictionalised form, it was the locale of James Michener’s ‘Tales of the South Pacific’ and the subsequent Rogers and Hammerstein musical, South Pacific. TheSS Coolidgealong with Million Dollar Point have now become world renowned dive sites on Santo.
The steep drop-off created the ideal place to look out into the blue while expansive beds of coral covered the reef wall. Large sea fans were hanging on the underside of overhangs and larger fish species like snapper, sweetlips and bluefin trevally were cruising around. Once again the conditions were calm making for a very enjoyable snorkel. After landing at the small village in the morning, birders made our way past the neat houses onto a logging track that quickly turned into narrow trail. It was very quiet, extremely humid, and the trail was muddy, but we pushed on into the thick secondary forest interspersed with more mature trees.
Having to stand is common, particularly tourist routes outside the city like Yangmingshan, Jiufen and Pingxi. It's worth starting out early to avoid the crowds and secure a seat, especially on weekends. I didn't have time to visit Tainan but i did visit Kaohsiung for a short time. From what i remember Tainan has more of the old stuff, lots of old heritage buildings, lots of old temples, old fort, houses etc, museums etc. some famous salt field called Jingzijiao Wapan Salt Fields on the far outskirts. Even Xinyi district which i guess means between Taipei 101 and Taipei City Hall, that area on google maps.

The government of Taitung County has adopted a "slow economy" as its development goal and has gradually built up the brand value of "truth, goodness, and beauty" exclusively for Taitung. Therefore, in recent years, the Taitung County Government has launched a variety of activities to allow visitors to experience the beauty of Taitung in various ways. There are many taxis in Taitung, however a majority tend to congregate around the Old Railway Station.
As other people have mentioned, follow the crowd because there are differences when both stalls sell the same thing and one has no customers. I'm after suggestions of a good area to base ourselves in. Ideally somewhere with easy access to major attractions and night markets, but not too busy/crowded.
