Taichung

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.

I usually use a SIM card or pocket Wi-Fi, but this is easier and cheaper! Setting it up took a little effort, but I'm glad I used it. I chose the 1.5GB/day plan because I use maps constantly, and I'm happy that I was able to use it without worrying about data usage.

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.

Gaomei Wetlands was a wonderful experience. The car ride from Taichung city was comfortable. The driver was very pleasant. He even took photos for us at Gaomei Wetlands. After enjoying the sunset at the wetlands, we got off at Fengjia Night Market and enjoyed the lively atmosphere. It was a very good tour.

Five-star recommendation! We were so lucky to have met Guo En today, who took us to Sun Moon Lake and the farm. There were so many adorable sheep and a horse show! Guo En is incredibly warm and friendly, and his driving skills are top-notch! On the way down the mountain, the fog was thick and visibility was very low, making the mountain roads quite challenging. Guo En remained calm and composed throughout, driving smoothly and safely, giving us a very comfortable and reassuring ride. Along the way, he also patiently explained the local architecture, culture, and stories, and recommended many delicious local dishes. His special recommendation of a goose meat restaurant was absolutely amazing, and we've already eaten it! He was patient, attentive, and hardworking all day, making for a fantastic tour experience. Next time I come to Taiwan, I will definitely choose Guo En again without hesitation! For anyone planning a chartered tour of Sun Moon Lake in Nantou, I highly recommend him! The misty mountain scenery was even more memorable than a sunny day. It was like visiting Sun Moon Lake, a place I learned about in elementary school textbooks. Tonight, we plan to go to the night market for some delicious food and further experience this wonderful place in Taichung.

The driver was polite and very helpful. We visited some of the attractions that were added at the last minute, and the route was changed many times.

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.

This was my first time in Alishan, and thanks to our driver, Guo En, who was a great guide, I had a wonderful and efficient experience. He took lots of photos for us, and I highly recommend this tour! Initially, I thought I could do a day trip from Fenqihu to Alishan Forest Recreation Area using a bus ticket, but I gave up on that idea because it was difficult to get there by bus via Fenqihu, and instead used this day trip tour. It turned out to be the perfect choice! However, be sure to read the final confirmation email the day before! The meeting time was 20 minutes earlier than initially announced. Also, while the KKday wrapping is on the roadside of the vehicle, it's not visible from the passenger side and is difficult to spot. It would be good if the "KKday" sign were displayed in a more visible location. The tour consisted of three Japanese people: the two of us and one solo traveler, departing from Chiayi Station. The solo traveler communicated with the driver in English, and the driver also used translation apps and LINE to provide information about meeting places and recommendations. I used the restroom twice on the way there and 2-3 times at Alishan. Bringing toilet paper is recommended. You need to purchase an admission ticket with a shuttle bus ticket via your smartphone before arriving at the entrance gate. Lunch boxes cost around 200 yuan. To return to the parking lot, you need to purchase a shuttle bus ticket for 70 yuan on-site. Souvenirs can be purchased around Fenqihu, Shouzhen Temple, and Alishan Station. At Fenqihu, we were given samples of puffed rice snacks and donuts. The temperature inside Alishan National Forest Recreation Area was 19 degrees Celsius. I put on a jacket thinking it might be cold, but I was walking so much that I was only slightly sweaty. There was plenty of shade, and the downhill route wasn't tiring. The driver guided us through places we might have skipped on our own, which was really great.
