Good to Know實用資訊
🛂
Passports — bring both護照——兩本都要帶
Enter and leave Taiwan on the Taiwan passport every time. For Japan (Okinawa), check in and enter on the US passport. No arrival card to fill in for Taiwan.每次進出台灣都用台灣護照。去日本(沖繩)報到和入境用美國護照。回台灣不用填入境卡。
🌡️
Weather — cold indoors天氣——屋子裡會冷
Taichung is usually 15–24 °C and dry. Taipei is 13–20 °C, grey and often rainy. Houses have no heating, so pack warm layers for inside, not just outside.台中通常 15–24°C,比較乾。台北 13–20°C,常陰天下雨。家裡沒有暖氣,要帶在屋子裡穿的保暖衣服。
🧳
Luggage行李
Up to 2 checked bags each (32 kg) on China Airlines. The Taipei and Okinawa trips are carry-on only.華航每人可以托運 2 件(每件 32 公斤)。台北和沖繩的小旅行只帶登機行李。
🚆
Getting around交通
An EasyCard (悠遊卡) works on trains, MRT, buses and at convenience stores. Train seats for weekends sell out — we book as soon as they open (about 2 weeks ahead).悠遊卡可以搭火車、捷運、公車,也可以在便利商店用。週末的火車對號座會賣光——一開賣(約兩週前)就訂。
💵
Money
Taiwan is still cash-first outside chains. Take cash from a bank ATM (post office, CTBC, E.Sun), not an airport exchange counter.除了連鎖店,台灣很多地方還是用現金。用銀行提款機領錢(郵局、中信、玉山),不要在機場換匯櫃台換。
🏥
Health健康
Bring the NHI card (健保卡), enough medicine for 7 weeks in the original bottles, and a written list of medicines.帶健保卡、七個禮拜份量的藥(原包裝),還有一張寫好的用藥清單。
