This plan packed everything we wanted to do into one day. Transportation was easy, the guide was friendly, and it was a very fulfilling experience. Releasing the lanterns costs extra, but almost everyone did it, and it made for a great memory. We brought our child, and I'm sure we caused some inconvenience to the guide and other tour participants, but we still had a wonderful time.
Thank you, Ouyangsen driver! 😊 The car was clean and the driving was smooth and comfortable. You were able to accommodate my last-minute requests, and I had a wonderful time. The lantern spot in Shifen was great. I am very satisfied.
We were picked up at the hotel at 10am and first headed to Shifen. In Shifen, we went to a lantern shop owned by an acquaintance of our driver, Lin. Our whole family wrote our wishes and experienced releasing lanterns. Lin and the shop owner took lots of photos and videos, making it a memorable experience. Next, we went to a famous spot in Keelung with colorful buildings. Before that, we were taken to the Keelung Miaokou Night Market to grab a bite to eat. The food at this market was incredibly delicious, and I'm so grateful to have been taken there. Then we went to Jiufen. We arrived around 2:30pm, and Lin showed us some recommended shops and spots in Jiufen, and we strolled around. We had a tea reservation at 5:30pm, so we were quite full and had some time to kill. It rained a little before we went into the tea shop, but it stopped soon after, so the parents enjoyed their tea, and the children were able to capture the beautiful scenery of Jiufen on camera. We were then dropped off at the hotel around 8pm. We had lots of souvenirs, we weren't too tired, and we were able to efficiently visit all the places we wanted to go, which was great. I was very grateful for all the recommendations and advice from Lin-san about places to visit in Taipei. The only thing that bothered me was the slight smell of cigarette smoke in the car.
Thank you for a wonderful family trip. Thank you.
I applied for a Japanese-guided tour, but it wasn't full, so I ended up with an English/Chinese guide. I was a little worried about whether I'd be able to understand the tour guide's English, but they used photos and hand-drawn maps to show me the meeting place and time, so I was able to participate without any problems. There were also Japanese brochures and optional explanations, so I didn't have any trouble. Thank you to the guide! I was very satisfied with the tour as it included all the places I wanted to see. Great value for money. We were blessed with good weather, and the air-conditioned bus ride was comfortable!
The weather was bad, so I was able to use the unlimited bus pass, which was a great help. I visited the National Palace Museum, Jiufen, and Shifen. I was also very happy to receive a cute cup as a gift.
The itinerary was excellent, and the tour guide was very friendly, helping us order delicious food, choose sky lanterns, and providing great explanations of the itinerary. Time management was also superb! The only downside was that we had to return to the bus early because the air conditioning wouldn't be turned on earlier if there weren't enough people! Everything else was great 👍! A great choice for a day trip!
