3 hours is too fast and 10 hours is too long. Chinese people face difficult choices when transferring at Taoyuan Airport.

If the transfer time is too short and I’m afraid I won’t be able to see enough, or if I stay too long and get tired, how should I choose? One holds mainland ChinaPassport Those who do not have a Taiwan entry permit to the United StatesSugar “The Timeless Little Pepper” recently appearedlittle red book He posted that he was unable to enter Taiwan and could only stay in the transit area of ​​Taoyuan International Airport. However, he was stuck with the dilemma of choosing between a 3-hour and a 10-hour connecting flight.

“Meaningful Little Pepper” said that she is very eager to pass through Taiwan. Even if he can only stay at the airport, he still wants to take advantage of the rare opportunity to go shopping, taste delicious food, and buy souvenirs. However, she will be flying long distance alone and will have to deal with luggage and jet lag problems. She was worried that 10 hours would be too long. If she only stayed for 3 hours, she was worried that she would not have time to carefully inspect the airport after deboarding the plane, checking in, and cutting down the time to get to the boarding gate.

Some netizens believe that the transit area of ​​Taoyuan Airport has restaurants, duty-free shops, cultural and creative products, bookstores, theme waiting rooms, free showers and rest places. First-time visitors can eat beef noodles, braised pork rice, wheel cakes, and buy Taiwanese souvenirs such as pineapple cakes and egg rolls. Some people also recommend visiting the Forbidden City Cultural and Creative Store, experiencing calligraphy or booking handicraft activities, thinking that 10 hours is not necessarily boring.

“Significant Little Paper” is expected to arrive at around 6 in the morning, and I was originally worried that the stores had not opened yet. However, many netizens shared that most of the duty-free shops and some restaurants have opened early in the morning, and there are still many options for early morning transfers. If you can access the VIP lounge, you can eat, bathe or relax after you are tired from shopping, making the long wait times easier to digest.

However, more believe that 10 hours is still too long for travelers who cannot enter the country. Netizens who stayed at Taoyuan Airport for 7 to 10 hours said that they are usually very tired after a long flight. Even though there are many delicious foods in front of them, they may not have the energy and appetite to taste them one by one. The products sold in stores are quite repetitive. After shopping around a few times, it can be difficult to pass the time.

As for 3 hours, some people think it is enough to eat food, drink drinks and buy souvenirs. Others are concerned that if the flight is delayed earlier, the actual available time will be greatly reduced. After comparison, “Meaningful Little Paper” finally found a flight with a 6-hour connecting flight, which also came with VIP lounge access, and successfully achieved a compromise between 3 hours and 10 hours. She said that she is quite satisfied with the arrangements so far and will share her actual transfer experience in future.
