Planning Taiwan trip for a week (7D) between Apr - Aug

Hi, my friend and I havent been to Taiwan before and would like to visit the country this year for a week (around 7days).

We intend to do free and easy. Can anyone give me some suggestions where/how I shld start my planning? I also have some questions as follow.

When is the best time to visit Taiwan? Perfer cooling weather and limited to Apr - Aug period.

For first timers, is it better to start with Taipei first or the countryside?

If start with Taipei, for a 7D stay, do you think we can cover other nearby areas?

Really hv no idea how to begin and wld really be grateful for some help.

Planning Taiwan trip for a week (7D) between Apr - Aug

The weather is expected to be cool (not too hot or cold) in the months of Mar~Apr and Nov~Dec, making it the most comfortable periods for travel in Taiwan. 7 days free and easy itinerary can cover most places of attractions within Taipei city, Tamsui, Wulai, Yehliu, Jinguashih, Jiufen, Keelung, Shifen, Pingsi, Jing-tong and Taroko Gorge / Hualien. These places are easily accessible by public transport and are not too difficult for first timers. Just need to do some homework.
