What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into T'ai-chung-shih or Taipei for August 25 to September 30, 2027, round trips of 3 to 6 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Registration opens in June and closes early; the fee includes the swim float you must tow.
- Lakeside hotels at Shuishe and Ita Thao book up for the weekend; Puli town is 30 minutes away.
- Taichung airport is about 90 minutes by car; from Taoyuan, the high-speed rail to Taichung and the Nantou bus to the lake takes about two and a half hours.
