I exchange my ticket at the counter in front of the MRT ticket gate at Taoyuan Airport Terminal 1.
I use this service every time, and it's much cheaper than paying the regular fare, so I'm grateful.
No wonder it used to have to be a month ago to book a place now from KKday book immediately can confirm the ingredients are very fresh, the soup is excellent, eat back to taste, will definitely come back next time
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.
Joining a day trip to Taipingshan in Yilan is truly excellent value! 🌿
Taipingshan boasts a beautiful environment with stunning mountain scenery along the way. The air is fresh, and the atmosphere is incredibly comfortable, making it perfect for those looking to escape the city and relax. The itinerary is well-organized, allowing you to visit several attractions in one day without feeling rushed.
The tour itself is very affordable, so entrance fees to the forest park and bumper cars are not included, but considering the overall price, it's quite reasonable. Those interested should keep this in mind. Meals are provided by the participants themselves and can be enjoyed at their own pace throughout the trip, offering more flexibility.
Special praise goes to our tour leader, "Miao Ge," who was incredibly responsible and attentive, driving very smoothly and making the mountain roads feel very safe.
Overall, the itinerary, scenery, service, and transportation were all excellent, offering great value for money! If you want to spend a day exploring Taipingshan and enjoying its natural beauty, I highly recommend this day tour.
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 this tour because I thought it would be difficult to get to Jiufen and Shifen on my own using public transportation.
Even though it was a rainy day, it was a very enjoyable experience and I felt it was well worth the price.
In Shifen, in addition to releasing lanterns, they pre-ordered crepes and meat rolls for us, recommended bubble tea shops and pineapple cake shops, and after visiting a tea shop, the guide took us to a tea leaf shop.
It was a smooth tour experience, and I felt we made good use of our time.
Personally, I thought there was plenty of free time.
The guide (I think her name was Kaori?) was very interesting to hear about, including where the released lanterns went and the history of the town, which was very enjoyable.
For nine consecutive days, traveling through Kaohsiung, Tainan, Taichung, and Taipei, there was absolutely no data usage reduction; I was constantly receiving and sending messages. It worked incredibly well, costing only a little over HKD$60 for nine days. Getting the SIM card at Hong Kong airport by scanning a QR code was so convenient. I'll definitely buy one from KKday next time I travel to Taiwan or other countries. 👍
