Taiwan Day 1: NAIA to Taipei, Ximending, Ferrary Hotel Tour, Costs, Chiang Kai-Shek, Taipei 101

Cam and go travel with me from Manila to Taipei for our Taiwan Day 1 adventure! From NAIA Terminal 1 check-in, airport lounges, and our Philippine Airlines flight, to arriving at Taoyuan International Airport, this vlog covers the full travel experience-- including immigration, baggage claim, and getting around Taipei. We redeemed our Klook vouchers (EasyCard, pocket WiFi, and eSIM), took the Airport MRT to Taipei Main Station, and headed to Ximending where we left our luggage at Ferrary Hotel. I also included a full room tour of Ferrary Hotel, plus a breakdown of our expenses— from flights, hotel, transportation, tickets, and food—so you can get an idea of how much a Taiwan trip costs. We explored Ximending, had lunch at Mala Hot Pot, visited Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, and ended the day at Taipei 101, including the observatory and food court. If you’re planning your first day in Taiwan, this video shows what to expect—from airport procedures and MRT transportation to hotel stay, food spots, and travel budget.
