sufficient time was allocated for each location, and the driver provided a comfortable day trip by picking us up and dropping off at the hotel in the 9 seater car. driver-tour guide 阿Ken provided food/snacks recommendations at each location. do note that the ferry ticket at Sun Moon Lake can be bought on Klook or KKday, found it to be cheaper than buying on-site. overall a smooth trip that started and ended on time.
The driver was very kind and considerate, giving us many helpful tips that made our journey smoother. We were also able to see the sunrise at Gaomei Wetlands, which we really appreciated. Gaomei Wetlands is very windy, so I recommend bringing a windbreaker. Unfortunately, there was no lavender in the Lavender Forest this season, and there wasn't much else to see, but we spent more time there. Xinshe Flower Sea had more flowers and was more beautiful and photogenic.
Traveling alone, with 3 Japanese wives, 4 people form a group. The tour guide and driver Xiaobin was very good, enthusiastic to help, and helped take pictures, and set the right time to each attraction. It takes 1.5-2 hours to drive from Taipei to Taichung, departing at 10:30 am, leaving from Gaomei at 6 pm and returning to Taipei at 8 pm. Go to Rainbow Family Village and Iron Man will help you take some funny photos! Another key point is the high beauty wetland, be sure to take off your shoes into the water, soft wetland, warm water temperature, very comfortable! It’s so beautiful to take pictures of the sunset! No matter how long you sit in the car, you can get it back!
The tour guide was very friendly and helped us take beautiful photos and videos. The shuttle service was very convenient and the stay time was sufficient. The Gaomei Wetland is very beautiful and worth a visit.
