Central and Western District

We had an amazing trip with Ms. Zhu. Her driving was very smooth and safe. We were able to stop by Longyin Temple and Fenqihu before going to Alishan. Since we left around 8:00 from Taichung, we were able to explore Fenqihu peacefully and had a bento lunch before the many tourists buses came. When we got to Alishan, Ms. Zhu gave us an itinerary that helped us explore Alishan efficiently and still allowed us to make it on the 3:15pm train from Shenmu station back to Alishan station. After Alishan, we headed back to our B&B in Fanlu and Ms. Zhu was kind enough to make a quick stop at a cozy tea shop to let us join a quick tea tasting because she knows we wanted to buy some Alishan tea to take back home. It was a very fun experience overall and I highly recommend booking this private charter to have a stress-free trip ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I visited Sun Moon Lake by public transportation, and this time I decided to take a tour to visit Cingjing Farm, and I am extremely satisfied. The guide drove so well that I slept soundly and comfortably on both the outbound and return journeys, as Cingjing Farm is truly deep in the mountains. It was a Chinese-language tour, and although there were Koreans and Japanese passengers, communication was not a problem thanks to translation apps. They took so many photos of us at the bow of the boat at Sun Moon Lake that it felt just like being a Chinese influencer. They moved exactly on time and were incredibly kind. I heard in other reviews that they received melted bubble tea, but we received refreshing bubble tea packed with ice. If I were to give a tip for the tour, they don't contact you via KakaoTalk the day before, so Koreans should install Line in advance. Make sure to join their Line chat room beforehand as well.

Taichung isn't crowded on a weekday afternoon, allowing you to freely move between rooms with friends. While smaller than Hsinchu, the rooms are equally exquisite and clean. The sweat from the rock bath isn't sticky at all, and your skin feels incredibly smooth afterward. The rest area is also very comfortable. Three hours is just right—a truly pleasant afternoon!

The driver arrived on time, the ride was comfortable, the car was spacious, and I didn't have to carry my luggage around looking for a bus – very convenient!
