even if the place of interest is not listed in the book, you may want to ask the ticketing person if you are eligible to purchase tickets at student price with your YTC.. we managed to get student prices the few times we tried! like at the National Palace Museum, Gold Ecological Park at Jinguashi and even at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum. really saved a lot!

if i arrived the airport at mid night, can i still apply for the card?

I got a reply from one of the hotel that i asked for the room availability. In that email, I noticed this..

The YH Card will receive 45% off on Sun, Mon-Thurs; 40% off on Fri and Sat.

What do they mean by YH Card? Is this the Youth Travel Card?

They gave us a booklet too when we appled for the card over the counter at Taoyuan airport,
