The exchange counter was smaller than I had imagined, so I initially missed it. Also, there were many users that day, so I had to wait in line (for a short time). Since it saves a little money, I think I will use it again.
A 3-day unlimited ride pass for just under 10,000 yen per person is a great deal. This time, we only used it for two days across three sections: Taipei to Taichung, Taichung to Tainan, and Tainan to Taipei, but even that was cheaper than the regular price. It would be even more economical if you rode it extensively for three days. What's more, the purchase method is simple: you buy it online and receive a voucher. This time, after arriving at Taipei Station from Taoyuan Airport via the MRT, we went straight to the high-speed rail counter, received our 3-day pass from the voucher, and booked our tickets to Taichung Station for the next morning. After sightseeing in Taichung the next day, we purchased tickets to Tainan at Taichung Station, and upon arrival at Tainan Station, booked our tickets to Taipei Station for the following day, successfully completing our entire trip as planned. This 3-day pass requires face-to-face interaction at a counter rather than using vending machines or automatic ticket gates, so we were able to manage with broken English and written Chinese characters, which was reassuring. We had to show our passports (one per person) at each step of the process, but it was reassuring to know that we could purchase our tickets without any problems.
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.
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.
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.
Aside from the card pickup location being a bit hard to find, everything else is great. The price is affordable, the internet speed is fast, and you can use the discounted price without needing to share with others. I highly recommend this for solo travelers.
The buy-one-get-one-free deal is a great deal! I've always used FarEasTone Telecom before, and I was able to get the new SIM card very quickly and start using it right away. I hope they offer more discounts in the future! The internet connection is very smooth!
The food was good, but the place wasn't as big as I expected. The air conditioning was incredibly cold at night; without a jacket, I couldn't fall asleep at all.
