Taipei Hotels & Attractions
New year… new planning… A decision was made pretty last minutes to organize a family trip. [Drumroll] The destination selected is Taipei, Taiwan.
I have been busy spending time getting myself familiar with the Taipei key attraction points and planning for the upcoming Taipei trip itinerary. I was thinking of doing it more DIY and be able to tailor made our own itinerary based on our preference.
Google Map is Incredibly Good for Trip Planning
There are couples of websites that I visited to orientate myself to Taipei and its surrounding points of attraction, accommodation and of course, the night markets.
And there is one particular tool that I like the most and I find it being the most incredible tool that every DIY traveller must have.
That’s the Google Map.
I simply type in my targeted destination into Google Map search box. Click the “Search Map” button. Bravo, I can locate the destination using a thumbnail placemarker.
I continued this process, enter the destination one by one… finally I managed to create my own Taipei map with all the places that I have interest to visit.
I have categorized the placemarkers according to color:
- Red : Places of Interest
- Blue : Book Shops
- Magenta : Accommodation
- Green : Night Markets

I have a problem Now!
There are just too many places on my map now that I do not have time to cover them all.
That is leading to my next task… I need to pick my final place to stay and final places to visit into a 4 full days visit in Taipei.
