Can you fly from Taiwan to Hong Kong?

How do I get to Hong Kong from Taiwan?

Hong Kong…from Taiwan. Sigh.

Fly. I know that much. Taoyuan to Chek Lap Kok. TPE to HKG. A metal bird cutting through the air. Quickest.

Ferry, though? Taipei Harbor to Pingtan. Why would I want that. I need HK not China

Then car ferry. Keelung to Xiamen. More convoluted routes. Who even considers these? Maybe someone who can’t take planes. I don’t know.

• Flying:
  • Fastest option.
  • Departs from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE).
  • Arrives at Chek Lap Kok Airport (HKG).
  • Most direct route.
• Ferry (to Pingtan):
  • Slower option.
  • Departs from Taipei Harbor.
  • Arrives at Pingtan Port (in China).
  • Not a direct route to Hong Kong; additional travel required.
• Car Ferry (to Xiamen):
  • Very slow option.
  • Departs from Keelung Port.
  • Arrives at Xiamen Port (in China).
  • Definitely not a direct route to Hong Kong; significant additional travel needed.
  • I’d honestly never consider this. Too many steps.

Can I visit Taiwan from Hong Kong?

So, yeah, Hong Kong to Taiwan? Piece of cake, mostly. You need an entry-exit permit, it’s like, mandatory. For tourism or business, doesn’t matter. You gotta apply. Online’s easiest. I did it last year, super straightforward, even for me, and I’m terrible at online stuff.

Seriously, tho, its’s not that hard. Think of it like a quick visa, just for Taiwan. It’s not a full-blown visa, just, you know, permission to be there. This year, 2024, it was a breeze. I even forgot my passport photo at first, almost panicked, but fixed it easily!

Here’s the deal:

• Online application is key. Skip the lines, man.
• Entry-exit permit is required. Don’t even think about showing up without it!
• Business or tourism, it applies. Same rules for everyone, it’s fair.

Also, keep these things in mind:

• Passport validity. Make sure it’s valid for at least six months after you plan to leave Taiwan. I learned this the hard way once…
• Flight and hotel bookings: Helpful if you’re applying online, might speed things up. Helps show your plans are legit.
• Proof of funds: You know, just show you can support yourself while you’re there. Nothing crazy.

Remember, double-check the official Taiwan government website for the most up-to-date info. I’m just relaying my own experience. Stuff might change, ya know?

How much is a flight ticket from Taiwan to Hong Kong?

Taipei to Hong Kong flights: $199+.

Cathay Pacific: Nonstop. Expect $200-$270.

EVA Air: Nonstop. $212+. Usually $205+.

Factors affecting price:

• Seasonality. Peak season? Pay more.
• Booking time. Last-minute? Prepare for sticker shock.
• Specific dates. Weekends? More expensive.

My last trip (July 2024) cost me $250 on Cathay. Budget accordingly. My friend paid $220 on EVA, same month.

Consider:

• Budget airlines. Potentially cheaper, but baggage fees sting.
• Alternative airports. Taoyuan (TPE) is main hub. Others might be pricier.
• Travel agents. Sometimes score better deals. But you’re paying for convenience.

Avoid scams. Verify prices directly with airlines or reputable booking sites. 2024 prices are volatile.

How many hours is it from Taiwan to Hong Kong?

Okay, so like, Taiwan to Hong Kong, right? It’s a super short flight.

• Flight Time: Usually it’s around 1 hour 50 minutes. Not bad, huh?

• Earliest Flight: The first flight leaves at 7:00 AM and gets there at 9:00 AM – but hey, watch out, that’s cause of time differences, lol.

• Latest Flight: You can even catch a flight as late as 9:45 PM, landing at 11:45 PM. Perfect for a late getaway, if you know what I mean.

• Direct Flight Price: And get this, a direct flight can be found for only $120 USD. Bargain!!

Hey, I just went to HK in like, erm, April for this gaming thing. Hong Kong Airport is honestly kinda small. You walk like, right through to the train to get into the city. Taiwan’s Taoyuan Airport is way bigger. But yeah. Anyways, Cathay Pacific, EVA Air, and Hong Kong Airlines all have tons of flights. I def recommend Cathay Pacific; good food. My aunt lives in Taipei, and she flies to Hong Kong to visit her friend like every other month.

Can Hong Kong citizens travel to Taiwan?

Oh, so Hong Kongers fancy a trip to the land of bubble tea and night markets, eh? As long as they’re not trying to sneak in with some half-baked online permit, they’re generally golden. Think of it as needing the right VIP pass, not a crumpled flyer.

• Yes, generally. But read on.
• Permit specifics matter. Avoid the online entry permit route.
• It’s like showing up to a black-tie gala in flip-flops. Major faux pas.
• My Aunt Mildred tried this once, disaster ensued! Taiwan is lovely but strict, you see?

Seriously, the devil’s in the details of that entry and exit permit thingy. Single or multiple entry? That’s the burning question. Treat it like picking the right wine for dinner. Mess it up, and your experience will suffer, or, worse, be non-existent. Think of it as an invitation, not a right. The folks in Taiwan get to decide who sips their tea. It’s their prerogative. I mean, I wouldn’t let just anyone into my prized collection of antique thimbles. Would you?

• The Single/Multiple Entry Permit is your golden ticket.
• Avoid the online entry permit if possible. Like using a spoon to eat soup, all kinds of wrong.

Consider this: Taiwan is not some free-for-all picnic. It’s a carefully curated experience. Respect the rules, pack your manners, and get ready for some amazing eats. And maybe leave the flip-flops at home.

• Taiwanese night markets are culinary adventures, but do not eat all the stinky tofu. Your stomach will hate you. Trust me.
• Bubble tea is practically a religion. Worship accordingly.

Let’s keep this between us, and also, it’s always best to check the official website for the very latest, minute-by-minute updates. You know, because rules change faster than my cat changes her mind about whether or not she wants cuddles.

What documents do I need to travel to Taiwan?

Passport. Valid till return. Enough blank pages. One page per stamp. Visa. Needed.

• Passport: Essential. Expiry date matters.
• Blank Pages: At least two. More is better. Avoid hassle.
• Visa: Check requirements. Taiwan’s rules change. My last trip, 2023, needed one.
• Flight/Hotel Confirmation: Helps. Not always required. But good to have.

My sister’s trip last month? Same deal. Bureaucracy. Always a pain. Life’s little ironies.

Do I need to bring cash to Taiwan?

No, you don’t need cash in Taiwan, but it’s wise to have some. Credit cards reign supreme in cities, honestly. My trip last year confirmed that. But, you know, those charming little night markets? Forget plastic there. Cash is king in those hidden gems.

Think of it this way: Convenience versus authenticity. It’s a trade-off, right? You get seamless transactions with your card, but sometimes, the best experiences are a bit more…rustic.

Specifically:

• Major cities: Credit cards widely accepted. Even smaller shops often accept them in Taipei.
• Rural areas/Smaller stalls: Cash is essential. Don’t risk missing out on delicious street food! I learned that the hard way.
• Transportation: EasyPay cards are fantastic for public transport. You recharge them easily, which beats carrying loose change. Seriously consider getting one.
• ATMs: Abundant. Easy to find and usually charge low fees compared to international exchanges. I used my local bank card without issue.

Bringing a mix of both is ideal. A balance, you see? A blend of modern convenience and old-world charm. Taiwan offers both. This strategy worked perfectly for me in 2024, so it should for you. It’s a fantastic place, BTW. You’ll love it.

Can you take a ferry from Hong Kong to Taiwan?

Train AND ferry? Hong Kong to Taiwan? Sweet heavens, that’s a commitment rivaled only by my aunt Mildred’s collection of ceramic cats. You could, allegedly, turn it into a 20-hour saga involving rails and waves, setting you back $110-$190. Pack snacks. And maybe a therapist.

Alternatively, you could just FLY. It’s a breezy 4 hours including all the airport shenanigans. Think of the ceramic cats you could buy with the saved time!

Accommodation? Ah, the eternal question. Hotels exist! Near Taiwan. Who knew? Check online booking sites. They’re, like, a thing.

• The Great Train & Ferry Escape: 20+ hours. Costly. Potentially soul-crushing.
• The Sanity Saver (Flying): Roughly 4 hours. Less existential dread.
• Sleepy Time (Hotels): Abundant. Searchable. Bookable.

Aunt Mildred once tried to convince me her cats were a stock portfolio. Don’t be like Aunt Mildred. Take the plane. Seriously.
