The driver was incredibly kind. He took photos for us while we were sightseeing, explained confusing routes, and gave us lots of helpful information about things to watch out for. I chose Japanese as the language, but the driver only spoke Chinese, which initially made me a little anxious. However, he used a translation app, so we didn't have any problems. I researched the locations myself and told him my plan, which included Yehliu, Heping Island, Shifen, Cat Village, and Jiufen, so it was a bit hectic, but he still managed to drop me off at my designated location in Taipei within 10 hours. I couldn't find another option to charter a taxi for 10 hours for this price; I think it's a fantastic tour.
Located in a convenient roadside area with easy parking, but during long holidays, you might have to wait a while. The park has a wide variety of animals and the environment is quite clean, but it can be a bit crowded and the animals are busy being fed. If there were crowd control measures in place, the overall experience would be better.
Because I wanted to develop a habit before retirement, I signed up alone and found that apart from the super early start time, everything else seemed quite friendly to middle-aged and elderly people! Brother Yang from the C train didn't neglect me because I was traveling alone and not on the sidelines. I recommend coming back again!
