Transportation: Buses from Taipei and Taichung will run one way to the Spring Scream site, departing around 11pm on Wednesday April 3 from Zeitgeist in Taipei and Russel's Cafe in Taichung. Tickets cost NT$500 and can be purchased in advance at departure locations.

On-site Transportation: There is no car parking at the Spring Scream site. Those driving cars are encouraged to park at the Kenting National Park entrance. From there, a shuttle bus and a bicycle shuttle system will provide transport to the Spring Scream site for a small fee (the fee has not yet been released).

Accommodations: Camping on the Spring Scream site is permitted for those with four-day passes. Numerous hotels are available in the Kenting area, but booking early is highly recommended as Spring Scream coincides with the long weekend created by the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, during which most reasonably priced rooms are full.

Other activities: Spring Scream will have a half pipe (for skateboarding), exhibitions of film and artwork, and sports activities such as beach volleyball. Recommended beaches in the area include South Bay (南灣), Hsiao Wan (小灣) and Jialeshui (佳樂水).
