Using a QR code for entry is incredibly convenient.
From sunrise to sunset to nighttime views, you can take in Taipei's day and night scenery all at once – it's excellent value for money.
And the kafe D on the 89th floor is delicious!
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.
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.
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.
Setting it up was easy after reading the instructions.
When I arrived, it seemed a bit suspicious, so I asked Chappy at the hotel to check the settings, and after that, I was able to use it normally.
For some reason, the signal was better than my family's, who also had the SIM card inserted.
The setup was incredibly easy.
The communication quality was also fine, and my whole family had absolutely no complaints.
It's much cheaper than the options offered by Japanese carriers.
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.
Great deal! Very convenient to add to your cart, flexible pricing and great value.
