Experiencing the Blue Highway Cruise in Dadaocheng was a delightful surprise. Cruising gently along the Tamsui River, we enjoyed the old streets and riverside scenery from different angles in a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere. The guided tour also provided a deeper understanding of the local history and culture. Interestingly, after searching around, I discovered that this tour is currently only available through KKday, making it a rather exclusive experience and definitely worth trying.
The driver arrived early, did not smoke, and obeyed traffic rules. The car was a Volkswagen 9-seater, and a bit old. We added a stop at the last minute the day before, and customer service responded promptly. They said there would be an extra 500 yuan modification fee; thank you for the arrangement.
The tourist attraction is good, although the drive is long. It's advisable to buy park tickets in advance from KK. You need to prepare food for the whole day as there are no food vendors. If you enjoy hot springs, bring a change of clothes. It only costs 250 Taipei dollars. Most of the toilets are squat toilets. The guide, although not English-speaking, tried his best to explain things.
