台中機場 ﹣清境 Taichung airport to Cingjing [共乘車 Carpool]

搭 11:30 香港快運去台中清泉崗機場, haha 好彩沒有delay, 準時1點多到達
台中機場不是很大而且在山上，所以附近沒有甚麼好逛的
出閘之後會開到右邊有換錢的櫃位，左邊有旅客中心（可申請免費30天wifi 在機場／高鐵站使用), 前面有橙色的homee kitchen餐廳 - 不過要留意全部7 點多就關門! =.= 

在餐廳前面的等候區等共乘車就可以了！他們會拿著你名字的banner

我們預訂了e-go 清境觀光巴士 (http://www.cingjingbus.tw/), 其實從清境去日月潭那一程也是用他們的服務

跟據航班時間有不同的共程車班次，我們那一程是9 座的小巴，同行都是香港人 XD 
車程大概1個半小時，很舒適。在中途埔里有停一下休息吃東西再開往山上的清境！

Carpool from Taichung Airport to Cingjing
We chose the e-go Cingjing bus carpooling to travel from Taichung Airport to Cingjing ((http://www.cingjingbus.tw/).  The departure times are planned according to different plane arrival times.  They will carry a banner with your name to pick you up from the waiting area (in front of a restaurant in orange colour) in the airport.  It took around one and a half hour to get to Cingjing with a rest stop in Puli on the way.  Ours was a nine-people van with all the passengers from Hong Kong XD It's pretty comfortable and fast!  

*we also used their service for the ride from Cingjing to Sun Moon Lake. 

兩人輕鬆遊 2013 ﹣台中/清境/日月潭/阿里山 Trip to Taichung/Cingjing/Sun Moon Lake/Alishan 07-11 Nov

真係好耐無見！其實係因為好少自由行既旅行 lol 

今次係同朋友2人去台中, 為免麻煩但又想慳錢, 所以找了共乘車＋公車作主要交通。4人以上包車當然係最方便同容易就時間，但2人包車會有點貴，所以有這些共乘車公司真的很好！除了遊客，台灣人也會搭 (不過溫馨提示一下：台中既的士司機話這些共乘車公司雖然是合法但未必有為客人買保險）

大概行程：

Day 1: 香港 - 清境 (住明琴清境山莊)
Day 2: 清境 - 日月潭 (住朵麗絲的家）
Day 3: 日月潭 - 阿里山 (住新順利民宿）
Day 4: 阿里山 - 奮起湖 - 台中 (住新驛旅店) 
Day 5: 台中 - 香港

看起來很趕吧？不過還好，因為其實中間的行程好 hea hahaha
特別留意從日月潭去阿里山既那一程係沒有共乘車的，但相反方向既有，所以如果會在嘉義那邊住一晚可以從阿里山出發。但從因為到達台中的時間是下午1 點多不想浪費一晚，所以先去清境 :D


This time I went to Taichung with my friend (only 2 of us) so we thought it would be better to "carpool" for most of the time to save money and time.  Of course it will be the best to rent a taxi with driver if there are more than 4 people, but that would be pretty expensive for the two of us.  So - a great thanks to these carpool companies! (but a gentle reminder: the taxi driver in Taichung told us that these carpool companies are legal but they might not have bought insurance for their customers)

Itinerary: 

Day 1: Hong Kong - Cingjing (stay at Ming Ging Farm)
Day 2: Cingjing - Sun Moon Lake (stay at Doris House)
Day 3: Sun Moon Lake - Alishan (stay at Xinshunli Minsu)
Day 4: Alishan - Fenqi Hu - Taichung (stay at CityInn Hotel Plus)
Day 5: Taichung - Hong Kong

The schedule is not that rush actually lol 
And since there was no carpooling service from Sun Moon Lake to Alishan, we took public bus instead.  However, there's actually carpooling service the other way round from Alishan to Sun Moon Lake, so if you plan to stay in Jiayi for a night, you might consider starting from Alishan.  Yet as our plane arrived Taichung at around 1pm and we didn't want to waste the day, we decided to head up to Cingjing first.
