When I started traveling to touristic cities in Asia, I’ve found out the use of tourist passes. Tourist passes were utilized when I traveled to Japan for two weeks as well as my stay in Hong Kong and Macau. What I liked about these passes is its convenience and the hefty amount of money you can save. Most of these allow entry to  of the city attractions as well as unlimited ride on buses and subways. Another discovery I had on my last visit to Taipei is the Taipei Unlimited Fun Pass.

In terms of validity, the pass will be reactivated on its first use, may it be on the train, bus, or redeeming a free-entry access. Take note that the card doesn’t work on a 24-hour basis and ends only at 12:00 midnight. If you purchased either the 2 or 3-day pass, the card works on a consecutive day basis. For example, a 1-day pass is only valid on the day of first use. On the other hand, if a 2-day pass is used on 1/1/2018 then the pass expires at the end of 1/2/2018.
