One hundred RMB is equal to close to NT$500. I went to Taiwan twice last year, and the exchange rate was basically around 4.7 to 4.81. It varies from day to day but the fluctuation is small.
The second question is, Mandarin is spoken in Taiwan. In the north, most people speak Mandarin. When you go to the south, in Tainan and Kaohsiung, they may speak Taiwanese to you, but when you open your mouth, they will know that you are from the mainland. I can speak Mandarin to you. Therefore, there is no language barrier at all when traveling to Taiwan. . Wait, I can’t say there’s no such thing at all. It’s just that the usage of some words is still different. I know a lot of people have been asking these questions in the past few days and I have answered some. For example, in Taiwan, potatoes are peanuts, software is software, etc. In fact, there are big differences. , but the language is general, and you will know it as soon as you explain it.
As for air tickets, direct flights to Taiwan are still quite expensive now. If there is no discount or the discount is not high, it will still cost more than 4,000 for a round trip per person. . . It's cheaper if you transfer from Hong Kong, only half the price above, but because the departure cities are different, there may still be differences.
Finally, to answer your question about the cost. After the air tickets are finalized, the biggest cost is actually accommodation. I personally think it is a bit expensive to live in Taiwan. A single room is only half the size of a seven-day chain standard room. , it costs 500-800 RMB in Taipei. If you stay in a hotel, it is at least 1,800 RMB per room, and there are many expensive ones, and they are not new hotels, they are all older ones. If you are going as a family, I recommend that you find a B&B in Taiwan to stay. A room may cost more than a thousand yuan, but you can rent one of their rooms, for example, two rooms, which is enough for six people, or three rooms. It is also cheaper than staying in a hotel, and many of the locations are quite good. I advise you not to consider small hotels because they are too small. . I feel exhausted even when I live alone.
Eating in Taiwan can be expensive or very economical, and the food is good. Expensive ones include Western restaurants, Taiwanese luxury restaurants, seafood, etc. Although luxury is only relative, the restaurants in Taiwan are very small. In fact, the most expensive meal I have ever eaten cost more than 7,000 yuan for five people. On the 80th or 60th floor of the 101 Building, where you can see the panoramic view of Taiwan, there is a Taiwanese restaurant named Xin Ye. There is also a beef noodle shop that is quite expensive. A bowl costs NT$1,500, which is not the most expensive style. . . I think it’s about the same as the NT$250 a bowl. It depends on what you think your budget is. If you go to the beach to eat seafood, of course you have to go there or eat it. There are several seafood shops in Kenting Old Street, and they are actually not expensive. We ate all the seafood and big crabs and ordered a whole table. Dishes cost less than 2,000 yuan, much cheaper than in Sanya.
Basically, when most mainlanders go to Taiwan, they can just go to the night market for dinner. The portions provided in Taiwan are very large, one milk tea is 1,000 milliliters, and a chicken steak is bigger than your face. In fact, go there As mentioned before, eat this and eat that. . . But in fact, when you actually go there, you won’t be able to eat much in one meal. I just went to Shilin Night Market and drank a 1000CC lemon tea. . Then I couldn't eat anything. I went to the night market. For NT$500 per person, I should have eaten until I died. I think, a braised pork rice, a large intestine wrapped in a small intestine, let me see what else you can eat. . . There are also hot stir-fry restaurants in Taiwan at night. . . Hot stir-fry restaurants are what we call Chinese restaurants here. In fact, they have a lot of menus. I heard that you can copy hundreds of items. The three-cup series is the most traditional Taiwanese food. There are three-cup chicken and three-cup mushrooms, just like what we have here. Yuxiang is a series. I see that many hot stir-fry restaurants charge NT$100 per dish. If there are 6 of you in your family, order seven or eight dishes and some other drinks. It’s enough. It won’t even cost you a whole meal. Two hundred yuan. . . If breakfast is not included in the accommodation, it can be arranged outside. We always buy a sandwich or milk tea at 7-11, or McDonald's. For lunch, there are many convenience stores in Taiwan, which cost more than NT$100 per serving. I think this is the essence, because some bentos are really delicious. Since the beef is imported, a bowl of beef noodles costs about two to three hundred. You can choose Australian beef, and you don’t have to worry about mad cow disease in American beef.
Another big part is travel, because there are actually no tickets for tourist attractions in Taiwan, and if there are tickets, they are not very expensive. For travel, you can choose MRT if you are in Taipei, or taxis are actually not expensive. But if there are six of you, you’ll just need to take two trains. Anyway, if I run out of money on the MRT, I’ll recharge NT$100. Basically, recharging once every other day is enough. . . If you want to charter a car to go to the beach, we have chartered a car for almost 5000-10000-15000 for a day. It depends on where you are going and how long you want to charter it. In total, it is still acceptable.
To sum up, accommodation in Taiwan costs 500-1,000 yuan per person per day, based on two people per room. It depends on whether you stay in a B&B or a hotel. Here is the difference. Eating for one person per day is 200-500 yuan, depending on whether you eat well or buy it on the street. For travel, I will give you an estimate of about 150 yuan for one person per day. The taxi cost is taken into account, but the cost of chartering the car is not included. The above mentioned are all in RMB
