The animals are very well cared for and the place is clean. The staff are friendly, but if you need to feed each animal, you might need to pay an extra entrance fee, which could cost around 600-700 yuan. Haha, I would recommend going on a weekday.
The environment was great, the space was spacious, and there was even a white fox you could cuddle for free, which was fantastic. The scallion pancakes you got from the voucher were also delicious.
I chose the lowest-priced option, but the driving experience was excellent. There were no unusual vehicle conditions or extra charges, making it a great value overall. I thoroughly enjoyed the New Year's Eve celebration, although it was a bit crowded and my car couldn't get in. The service staff were also excellent, providing detailed explanations and being very attentive.
My first trip to Taipingshan coincided with a cold snap; the temperature on the mountain was only 1 degree Celsius, and with the rain, it felt even colder. This resulted in seeing different scenery, but unfortunately, the fog obscured the mountain peaks. With eight passengers on the bus, the seating was a bit cramped, so it wasn't advisable to bring too much luggage. If you get motion sickness, take medication. Having been to Smangus in Hsinchu, I found the mountain roads on Taipingshan to be quite manageable. When visiting Jiuzhize, I don't recommend cooking just two ears of corn; the water will wash them out of the bamboo basket, making them difficult to find. It's advisable to cook with a group. Finally, we visited a tea-producing area; the hot tea was delicious, and the braised dishes were on the sweeter side.
