Itinerary for Family of 4
Hi friends!
I am planning a 10-day trip in late November for my family of 4 (kids age 11 and 15).
I have roughly planned the itinerary, notably skipping some of the big items to target our preferences. We're not super outdoorsy, and while I love a great vista, I know my kids don't enjoy hiking.
Does this pacing seem reasonable, especially with teens?
Is Jinguashi worth visiting before Jiufen, or would you spend the extra time in Jiufen?
Would you recommend a canal/harbor cruise in Anping?
Would you change the order of any Taipei days because of closures, crowds, or travel flow?
I'd love any other thoughts or feedback about the itinerary.
