Dear Mark,
There is only this info. I found
https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/public/websites/dc18/issues/31#note_17366
As per the issue, it needs to be still fleshed out . I remember at
least for Debconf 15, 16 and 17 all had pictures so people had an idea
of the onvenue accomodation.
I didn't look at hotels but hostels for post-debconf stay if things
panned out for me
I tried to look at hostelworld.com but couldn't find anything for
Hsinchu, Taiwan .
There are some properties listed at Taipei, Taichung, Hualien (this is
where the earthquake hit last year and from what I read on web, they
are giving discounted vouchers and such to tourists who would go
there.) , Changhua and Keelung but no hostels seem to be listed for
Hsinchu, Taiwan :(
There is also https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf18/Getting_Around
of getting to the venue but doesn't give anything in times.
For e.g. https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf18/Getting_Around#How_to_get_to_the_venue
How to get to the venue

1. It would be nicer and easier to have time estimates taken of
Taoyuan Airport MRT to Taoyuan HSR Station - how much time it takes
from MRT to HSR Station ? Is it a 24 hour operation or some restricted
to some hours ? Also how frequent is the service, every half hour, an
hour or some times ?
2. Similarly how much would be the time travel journey for Taoyuan HSR
Station to Hsinchu (Chubei) HSR Station and again whether it is a 24
hr. operation or only some times ? Again how frequent the service is
or only at some times ?
There is also this
https://www.worldnomads.com/travel-safety/eastern-asia/taiwan/taiwan-safety-guide
which needs to be re-worded and put in the wiki as well.
Hopefully most of it will get fleshed out soonish so people can start
making plans for travel.
