The park was kept very clean, with trash cans and handwashing stations everywhere.

The rental office is about a 10-minute walk from Luodong Station on the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA), or about 3 minutes from the Luodong Bus Terminal. It's located on a main street, so it's easy to find. When you give your name, they'll ask for your passport, Japanese driver's license, and a Chinese translation of your driver's license issued by JAF (Japan Automobile Federation). For gasoline, they give you a card for affiliated gas stations, which you use for cashless payments. Payment is settled upon return. This time, I didn't refuel before returning the car, and paid at the rental office based on the mileage. The car was a LUXGEN U6GT crossover SUV from a Taiwanese manufacturer. It's probably comparable to a Toyota RAV4. Just like when renting in Japan, the first thing to do is check the car. It's a good idea to take pictures of any scratches or dents beforehand. It was easy to drive, the brakes worked well, and my trip to the Taiwan Mountains was very comfortable. They have rental offices all over Taiwan, and it seems you can return the car to a different office. The staff were friendly, and I would like to use their service again next time.

The perfect choice for a kid's first experience with rock climbing and rope walking! Luckily, it wasn't too crowded this Saturday, so there wasn't a long queue, and the KKday ticket plan was much cheaper (but the ticket price doesn't cover parking). It's worth taking your child to try all the facilities on each floor. The theme park on the 3rd floor of Shang Shun is highly recommended; it's like a mini-version of a Disney theme park. Of course, the rock climbing and rope walking on the 6th floor are the main attractions, as both adults and children can work their bodies. The facilities are safe and you can re-enter, so you don't have to rush. 👍
