Here's a 3D2N suggested itinerary for those who are visiting Cingjing:
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Morning
Reach Cingjing around noon
Go to Hehuansan (合歡山)
4am - Star Glazing/See Sunrise at Hehuansan(合歡山賞日出專車)
Can also do morning walk trail
Afternoon
Go to Sheep Farm (青青草原) - there is sheep show on weekend
From the Sheep farm, you can take a slow walk down to Visitor centre. You will passby a 400+ steps staircase downslope (步步高昇歩道). After that, walk further down to 7-11/Starbuck area.Lunch/Tea break at nice café/minsu: Margaret's Garden 瑪格莉特花園/ Old England Manor 老英格蘭莊園
Another restaurant: 雲舞樓民宿
Can also visit the Swiss Garden.

Evening
Enjoy night scenary / Go to Lushan for hotspring (about 20mins journey)
Enjoy night scenary / Go to Lushan for hotspring (about 20mins journey)
This minsu is near to 清境國民賓館 (Guobin guesthouse, near to 7-11 or starbuck area), about 100m away. The minsu also operates a resturant and specialises in yunan food '雲南大理段家私房菜'. Many locals will go there to try the food. The scenary near the restaurant is also very nice. Can do the walk trail - 落羽松步道.
In fact, I heard about this restaurant from another minsu as i asked around for good food. (Have not been there)
Old England Manor
This minsu is a luxury beautiful castle. It's also under the same boss as Shangri-la hanging resort.
As the room rates are pretty expensive (at least $11000twn per night), you may want to experience the interior of the castle by having a meal. A lunch meal like pasta can cost about $380twn +.
Margaret's Garden
This is also a beautiful purple decorated cafe. Although i have not been there, i saw some local blogs recommending this place.
Hehuansan Tour (合歡山專車)
There are 2 types of Hehuansan tour. One is a half day tour and another is a sunrise tour.
For the Hehuansan half day tour, you may check with your minsu on the e-go bus (E-GO 台灣觀光巴士).
There are 2 timings: 830am and 1pm. Each pax is $750twn (wkday).
For sunrise tour, the tour starts at 4am - 7am.
Lushan hotspring (廬山泡湯專車)
This can also arranged with the e-go bus. It will depart from Cingjing in the evening. You can check more details here.
Transfer from Taipei Main Station - Cingjing
The E-go bus also have transportation from taipei main station 645am -cingjing 1130am.
Cost is as follows:
Non-peak period: $750 per pax one way, $1200 (return).
Peak period : $850 per pax one way, $1400 (return).

E-go Bus from Taichung/SunMoonlake
For more details on e-go bus, please click here. They provide transport from Taichung train station or HSR, Fengjia Market, Sunmoonlake. Please check with the ego bus directly on the pick-up points as I have not used these before.
Some minsu may have pre-arrangement with e-go bus. It's best to check with the minsu on the prices.

Hi,
I'm interested in gg to cingjing for a holiday.
However i have problem deciding the way to go to and fro at cingjing.
Can i ask if i should:
1. Take bus from taipei to cingjing (TWD1200 , 4.5hours)
2. Take HSR to taizhong, and arrange a taxi ? as i dont like to take
long journey bus. (roughly how much and time to reach ?)
Thank you.

Hi, Can i know the month that you are travelling in? It looks sunny all
the way without having to bring thick clothing?
Hi,
I went twice to Cingjing, in Nov and June. Yes, thick clothing may not required at cingjing but definitely required for Hehuansan.
If during the day and it's sunny, it's ok to wear a jacket in cingjing. but not when it's raining, it's pretty cold as it's at highland.
When are you going and plan to stay where ?
Rgds,

Hi I need your help!!
Taipei to Cingjing:
I'm planning to take the E-go bus 630-1130.
Cingjing to Taipei:
Should I take E-go bus(5 hours) or Nantou bus&HSR(~4 hours)? The
latter
is more expensive right? I saw in your post you say E-go provides bus
from cingjing to taichung too, but what is the timing?
My prime concern is to reach back in taipei as early as possible..
THANKS SO MUCH!!! IN ADVANCE :)
