a week in Taipei is almost too long if you ask me
you can get a good feel of the island in a week, if you don't mind stretching out your days
3 days Taipei, 2 days Tainan or Kaohsiung, 2 days Taroko or Ali-shan
Kenting sucks, don't bother. Sun Moon Lake? you live in BC and it doesn't even come close to what we have here. I haven't done Taitung in forever and haven't set foot on the outerlying islands yet.
my feedback revolves around food and outdoor activities...so maybe it's a shitty one if you're just looking for partying/brothels
have fun, I get to spend the upcoming CNY there

I had about 3 days in Kenting, it was super fun. I really suggest renting a scooter though. The public transit there really sucks. The roads outside Kenting are not as busy as in the city. Mountain and coastal roads to ride on are super fun! Make sure 8ts a gas scooter though. The electric ones have no range and power to get up the hills.

My understanding is that locals are not eligible for the plans offered at the airport (I may be wrong, however.)

They're probably not, but they get a waaaay better mobile data deal than tourists.
About your China trip, Google services are firewalled and inaccessable in China. You may want to consider setting up a shadowsocks service, as VPN is banned in China. Unless you read/write/speak Mandarin, then I'd reckon you'll be able to get by without Google products.
