Dates are flexible. This day-by-day plan is provisional until you choose exact travel dates.
Travel from Singapore Changi Airport to Taipei Taoyuan International Airport on a nonstop STARLUX business-class flight; allow roughly 7–9 hours door to door for airport check-in, the flight, immigration, baggage and the ride into Taipei. Flight times and the lowest fare for your flexible late-October/early-November dates aren’t confirmed, so compare dates directly with STARLUX and request wheelchair assistance when booking. From Taoyuan, a pre-booked accessible vehicle is the easiest option with luggage and a wheelchair; allow about 45–75 minutes to your hotel, depending on traffic, and confirm that the vehicle can accommodate the chair.
Choose one hotel for all four nights: Grand Hyatt Taipei in Xinyi, Regent Taipei in Zhongshan or Taipei Marriott Hotel in Dazhi. Before paying, contact the hotel to confirm an accessible room is available for your exact dates and ask specifically about roll-in shower, grab bars, doorway clearance and whether the bathroom layout suits your guest. After check-in, take time to rest; only head out if everyone feels comfortable.
If arrival timing and energy allow, visit Taipei 101 in Xinyi for an easy first look at the city. The elevators and observation deck have accessible facilities; allow around 1.5 hours, with extra time for ticket queues. Admission costs vary by ticket type, so check the current price and access arrangements before going. Then have dinner at Din Tai Fung (Taipei 101 branch), allowing 1–1.5 hours and roughly NT$500–900 per person. It’s popular, so expect a wait at busy times; ask staff about seating and step-free access. If the flight or transfer runs late, leave both visits for another day rather than rushing.
Start at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall; allow about 1½ hours for the broad plaza and ground-level areas, taking the ramps and lifts where available. The grounds are generally open daily and free; indoor exhibition hours can vary, so check before setting out. From central Taipei, a taxi is often the simplest step-free option; the MRT station has lifts, but allow extra time to find them and navigate the large plaza. Continue across Liberty Square to admire the National Theater and Concert Hall—about 45 minutes outside, or longer if you’ve checked the venue calendar and booked an accessible performance in advance.
Take a taxi to Yongkang Street in Da’an for an easy browse of its cafés and small shops; give yourselves 1–1½ hours and choose venues after checking for a step-free entrance. For lunch, try Yong Kang Beef Noodles, allowing about an hour and roughly NT$200–350 per person. It can be busy at peak lunch time, and access and seating arrangements may be tight, so call ahead to confirm an accessible entrance and space for the wheelchair.
After lunch, take a short taxi ride to Daan Forest Park for a gentle hour on its paved paths and a proper rest between sightseeing stops. Entry is free; paths are pleasant for a slow roll, though surfaces and access to individual facilities can vary. Keep the afternoon flexible rather than trying to cover the entire park, and check current opening information for any indoor facilities you hope to use.
Begin at the National Palace Museum in Shilin. Give it 2–3 hours, plus time for entry; lifts and accessible visitor facilities make it a manageable visit, though popular galleries can be busy. Admission is generally around NT$350 for an adult, but check current rates and any special exhibitions. A taxi or accessible pre-booked vehicle is the simplest way to reach it and continue to the next stop; the museum is on a hillside, so avoid relying on a long uphill roll from the nearest transit stop.
Continue to Shilin Official Residence for about 1–1.5 hours among its gardens and historic buildings. Stick to the flatter paths, and ask staff about current step-free access to any indoor areas. Then head to Taipei Fine Arts Museum in Zhongshan for 1.5–2 hours; its spacious galleries and accessible facilities make a comfortable change of pace. Allow roughly 20–30 minutes between Shilin stops and the museum by car, depending on traffic. Both museums’ opening days and hours can vary, and Monday closures are common at Taipei museums and attractions, so check all three venues before choosing your day; if they are closed, shift this outing to another day rather than counting on entry.
Take a meal break at MAJI Square, beside the museum, and allow 1–1.5 hours. The food choices vary, with a rough budget of NT$250–500 per person; it can be lively at lunch, so look for a table with clear turning space before ordering. Finish with about 45 minutes on the paved, open paths of Taipei Expo Park nearby—keep the route short and turn back whenever the group is ready. The park is an easy, low-pressure end to the day, and you can return to your hotel by taxi or MRT from the nearby Yuanshan area.
Take an accessible taxi to Dadaocheng Wharf; from central Taipei, allow roughly 15–30 minutes depending on traffic. Spend about an hour by the river on the mostly level paths, checking conditions after rain. Then head to Dihua Street—around 10–15 minutes by taxi or a longer, pleasant roll if everyone has the energy. Allow about 1½ hours to browse its historic shopfronts and traditional-goods stores. Older buildings can have steps and narrow doors, so enjoy the streetscape without feeling obliged to enter every shop.
Continue along Dihua Street to Xiahai City God Temple, a compact visit of about 30 minutes. The entrance may have a step and space inside is limited; if the wheelchair cannot enter, the façade and lively street outside are still worth a look. Shops generally keep daytime hours, but individual opening times vary. Take a seated break nearby before the evening; a taxi between stops is the easiest option if the group needs to conserve energy.
Head to Ningxia Night Market early in its evening service, usually from around 5pm; arriving before the busiest dinner rush makes moving through the narrow, uneven lanes easier. Allow 1–1½ hours and budget about NT$250–500 per person for snacks. Crowds can make wheelchair access difficult, so consider having one companion buy food while the others wait somewhere less congested. Finish at Taipei Main Station, about 10–20 minutes away by taxi depending on traffic, for a relaxed 45-minute look around its accessible underground concourses; follow lift signs rather than taking stairs. A taxi is likely the simplest way back to your hotel.
Allow 1–1½ hours at Huashan 1914 Creative Park to browse its former factory buildings and visit a gallery; the park grounds are generally open daily, but individual exhibitions set their own hours, admission fees and accessibility arrangements. Its paths are mostly level, though some older buildings may have steps, so check the specific exhibition before entering. Then go to Fuhang Soy Milk in Huashan Market for breakfast (roughly NT$100–250 per person). It’s popular, so allow 45–60 minutes for the queue; it is commonly closed on Mondays, so confirm its current opening schedule for your travel day. The order works best with a later flight: if your flight is early, these stops may not fit before the airport transfer.
Collect your luggage at Taipei Main Station, then take a pre-booked accessible vehicle to Taoyuan International Airport—typically around 40–60 minutes by road, but allow longer in traffic. Leave Taipei about 4–5 hours before your scheduled flight, adjusting to STARLUX’s check-in guidance and your confirmed departure time; request wheelchair assistance directly from the airline in advance. Your nonstop STARLUX business-class flight returns to Singapore Changi Airport. Confirm the flight time and fare with the airline; allow roughly 7–9 hours door to door for the airport transfer, check-in, flight, arrival procedures and onward airport logistics.
