travelling to taiwan january 31 to february 14 2019

Question

My partner and I are flying into Taipei on January 31 and flying out of Taipei on February 14. We are hoping to do a round island tour, and would especially like to visit Hualien, Kenting, and Kaohsiung. We are aware that places and transportation may be closed around/during Chinese New Year. We aim to travel across Taiwan primarily by train. Are we best to stay in Taipei during Chinese New Year, or will trains out of Taipei still be running?Please suggest a suitable itinerary and budget hotels for 2 persons around Taiwan for 14 days.

Yes, you are advised to stay in Taipei and visit some attractions in Taipei or nearby, because most people will travel to south and it would be crowded in the railway station, bus station and attraction in southern region during the Chinese New Year. The trains out of Taipei are stilling running at that time but you’d better book the tickets in advance.D1 Taipei    Ximending - Longshan TempleD2 Taipei    National Palace Museum - Xinbeitou Hot Springs -  Shilin Night Market TaipeiD3 Taipei    Maokong Gondola - Ayishi Bigteapot - Taipei 101 Mall - Eslite BookstoreD4 Taichung    Luce Memorial Chapel - Tunghai University - Fengjia Night MarketD5 Chiayi    Chiayi Old Prison - Culture road night marketD6 Chiayi    Alishan National Scenic Area D7 Kenting    Ngoluanpi Park - Kenting Street, Morpheus B&BD8 Kenting    Kenting bathing beach - South Bay - Kenting Street Night MarketD9 Kenting    Kenting Farm - Victoria RacecourseD10 Hualien    Hualien East Gate Night MarketD11 Hualien    Chihsingtan Beach - Ching-Shui CliffD12 Jiufen    Chiufen (Jiufen Old Street),  Hueifong HostelD13 Jiufen    Golden Waterfall - Masculine and feminine elements seaD14 Jiufen    to TaipeiThe itinerary is only for reference.
