I just came back from this trip. The tour includes 4 breakfasts. These are like the classic East West breakfast buffets you see in other parts of main land China. I always found that these are the best meals of the day. You will need to purchase your own lunches and dinners. Lunches can be informal as we are out and about the country side. Our tour guide Alan Chou did give us options about where and what was delicious. These meals were low cost. They included the 7-11 stores, a bakery for various pork buns and other fillings, large highway side food court. McDonalds in one town and markets. Dinners were harder to find low cost options as many of the hotels are out in the country and there are no other options. Alan did suggest the buffet which is about $1000 New Taiwan dollars or about $41 CAD in several of the hotels. There are often cheaper entrees you can get in the lobby lounge but you only get the one entree for about 1/2 the price. I would suggest that you do budget $1000 new taiwanese dollars each for three nights of the trip. Alan was right about this as I did enjoy eating the buffet at one of the hotels and it was interesting trying out the various foods. The tour itself is very reasonable so you can afford it!
