lmao dont bother doing a day trip to kaohsiung from taipei, its not really worth it
i cant really think a day trip to taichung would be worth it either. i did it on my first time there just to stay a night and go to sun moon lake the day after. maybe its a good idea to go out to one of the major nature spots (SML is popular, i preferred alishan, taroko still closed i guess)

actually if you insist on going to those other cities, do it over a couple of days and stay a night or 2. do taipei->hsr to taichung->hsr to kaohsiung->hsr back to taipei
you have limited time, if you insist on planning then at least do it properly

there isnt really much in keelung to bother going for. guess you read the night market is one of the best in taiwan. well now you can read me telling you that most of what they sell is the same all over taiwan. yehliu is a nicer coastal park than heping too

why not jiufen or shifen? they're nice places for a day trip, feels like you are trying too hard to avoid "tourist traps". spend a couple of hours in a nice tea house (but don't buy the most expensive tea because you were distracted by a girl when doing the currency conversion if your head and it was actually 4x more expensive than you thought. what a retard moment)

go national palace museum ofc, definitely the most worthwhile one in taiwan
