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 used it for both the outbound and return journeys, and exchanging the ticket at the counter was incredibly easy. I was surprised to find that both trains were completely full. Advance reservations are definitely necessary, and the discounts are fantastic.
This pass is very convenient. This time, I went to Kaohsiung and chose the 2-day unlimited ride pass for the Kaohsiung MRT and trams, along with a sightseeing bus plan to Sun Moon Lake.
The bullet train was quite crowded, and my husband and I couldn't reserve seats next to each other, but we were able to change it at the ticket counter on the day of travel. Even with reserved seats, you can change the time anytime if you choose unreserved seats. However, it's very crowded, so reserved seats are difficult to get. Be careful, as you must reserve the bus to Sun Moon Lake by 12:00 PM every day; you cannot reserve it on the day of travel. I didn't have a suitable time either, but as long as I had the QR code, I could board any bus.
This time, I thought I could make reservations using only the KKday app, but it turned out I also had to install the Taiwan Pass app and make bullet train reservations on the High-Speed Rail website, which was a bit of a hassle, but once you do it, you get used to it, and it's a great pass, so I would like to use it again.
The setup was incredibly easy.
The communication quality was also fine, and my whole family had absolutely no complaints.
It's much cheaper than the options offered by Japanese carriers.
The fare was 749 yuan. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The music played quietly and wasn't noisy. The driver provided excellent assistance with loading and unloading luggage, drove smoothly, and the price was reasonable.
I used to carry around a heavy battery, but this time I tried eSIM for the first time. It was very convenient. In Taiwan, I didn't need a voltage converter and could walk around with just a charging cable. When I had questions during the pre-registration process, customer support answered them immediately, which was reassuring. The price was also cheap, which I appreciate. I will use it again next time.
The directions were clear, so it was easy to find. The app includes photos showing where to exchange for tokens, so I recommend checking that beforehand.
It was very nice that the subway runs above ground, allowing you to see the surrounding scenery.
The exhibition was very rich in content, and the layout was well-planned with excellent flow.
Seeing the original artwork was truly satisfying, and the author's comments were very interesting. I really love Junji Ito's world. Anyone who likes Junji Ito's works or horror manga should definitely visit.
I love Tomie!!!
