We hired a car for ten hours from Taipei, visiting all the places we wanted to see: Yehliu Geopark, Shifen Waterfall, Shifen Old Street, the Yin-Yang Sea Viewpoint (the same spot for viewing the Thirteen-Story Ruins), Golden Waterfall, the Gold Museum (a bonus we thought we wouldn't have time for), and Jiufen Old Street. The driver was very nice, drove incredibly smoothly and safely, and provided brief explanations of the sights along the way. He even helped us take photos when we released sky lanterns in Shifen. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great; we encountered strong winds and heavy rain on the day of the hire (which was quite a unique experience). However, the driver was attentive to the road conditions and even provided raincoats for us – very thoughtful service. No need to worry about transportation arrangements, just point-to-point service. Highly recommended for first-time visitors to the North Coast.
The driver arrived on time and provided excellent service! It's amazing to get a ride in a Mercedes-Benz E-Class for this price. It's convenient and a great value. I'll definitely use it again next time.
Because 1. Picked up right in front of the accommodation 2. The driver (Mr. Lai) was so kind even though he was selectively tense because he is an introvert 3. Moved to the points while riding the air conditioner in the hot weather 4. He gave me all the basic information at each point. Especially, there were a lot of people with sponge lanterns, but he explained all the photo points with descriptions so I got all the necessary photos. But it only took 15 minutes ㄷㄷ 5. The driver is really funny. 6. He took pictures for me and gave me the last ones printed as a gift... ㅠㅠㅠ If I tell him my requests through KakaoTalk, he almost does everything (let's go 10 minutes early/I'm a little late, etc.). He doesn't speak English well, but we can communicate somehow. He doesn't read KakaoTalk very well, but he receives voice messages. ㅇㅇ This is the end of my very satisfied review. I recommend Mr. lai!
It's very convenient because you don't have to drive or wait for the bus. It's perfect for nature lovers. Yangmingshan has good air. Xiaoyoukeng is cool and sells rice burgers. Lengshuikeng has seating for you to rest after ordering. The American Military Club is quite beautiful. The fried food and ice cream we ordered for afternoon tea were both delicious. There are several coffee shops nearby, and the driver and guide will introduce them along the way. If you have the chance, you can go hiking or watch the night view. Finally, have dinner at Shilin Night Market. It's a fulfilling day.
