Thanks to our tour guide, Da Xiong, for showing us all the beautiful scenery of Fulong. At each attraction, he pointed out the best spots for taking photos and taught us a lot of tips on taking pictures and using ID cards.
This whale and dolphin watching trip to Turtle Island in Yilan is highly recommended! The staff on board were friendly and enthusiastic, providing clear and patient explanations, resulting in excellent overall service. The staff were good-looking and had great attitudes, adding a lot of enjoyment to the trip. The itinerary included plenty of whale watching, island hopping, and island-hopping activities, and they even thoughtfully provided children's picture books, which the kids loved. It was a truly memorable family trip!
The 899 package is highly recommended for weekdays as it's a great deal. The original time is only 50 minutes, but a free 50 minutes is included on weekdays, for a total of 100 minutes. Tofu pudding is served after your soak. The bathhouse is spacious, and the cold spring pool has a large water volume that fills up quickly. A minor drawback is that the soundproofing isn't very good; you can easily hear noises from the next room.
On the day of the trip, I departed from Yuanshan Bus Station on the Kuo-Kuang Ferry. Heavy rain was falling in the north, and I was quite worried about the sea conditions before the trip. However, after exiting the Hsuehshan Tunnel, the sun shone brightly, dispelling the gloom. After disembarking at Wushih Harbor Bus Station, I exchanged my tickets at the ticket booth and prepared to board the "Blue Whale" ferry. The navigation crew was very professional; although we didn't see any whales or dolphins, we did see flying fish along the way. The visitor center on the island offers purchases, stamp collection, and the opportunity to write and mail postcards. Simple snacks are available, such as tea eggs, popsicles, and a few other snack options.
