I had a 6hr layover in Taiwan. I was sort of pushing it, but I really wanted to get some station stamps and see Taipei 101.
After leaving immigration, I had to get an ‘EasyCard’. This was Taiwan’s tap card for the trains. That took extra time as I was trying to figure out how to get one and put money on it.
I left the Taoyuan Airport on the Airport Line MRT to Taipei Main station.
Once I got to main station, I headed for the Tamsui Xinyi line for Taipei 101. The line was pretty much the opposite side of the station. It was a long walk and it was busy.
As soon as I got out the station, I started walking around the block to get to Taipei 101, which wasn’t that far, but far enough it wasn’t super close.
Unfortunately, up top was not clear. Couldn’t see anything. After that, I headed back to the airport and went back home.
