Keelung

Great Value and saves loads of money when travelling with the family/ also good because one see all the attractions

First of all, the shopkeepers were very friendly. The guide who led the hike to Hill 401 on April 11th was very friendly and professional, and the instructor who brought up the rear was also very friendly. 1. This is really challenging; assess your own abilities, as the hot and humid weather will increase the difficulty. 2. Bring an extra set of clothes; you'll be soaked through after the hike, and your underwear will be completely drenched. 3. Bring a small handheld fan; the dense forest areas are windless, damp, and stuffy, with few well-ventilated spots. 4. Bring a parasol; you'll need it for the island loop. You won't need it for the hike itself, but it can be used as a walking stick. 5. Some steps are very slippery; wear shoes with good grip because it's very damp, and the fresh fallen leaves are sap-covered, making it very slippery. 6. Fog is normal, but without fog, the clear blue sky would be unbearably hot. 7. Get a massage when you get back; definitely massage your legs and stretch, otherwise your legs will be very sore. 8. We set sail promptly at 8:00 AM and returned to Wushi Port around 2:30 PM. We didn't see any dolphins or whales on the way there or back. The boat trip was half an hour each way, so we didn't need to take seasickness medication, but we still saw one or two people vomiting.

We were shown to a seat on the second floor, where we were able to enjoy tea while taking in the night view. The seating charge might seem high, but considering the 415 steps we would have had to climb up and down, it was nice to have ample time to enjoy our tea, and there was also a restroom in the shop, so we didn't have to worry about that either. I'm glad we used the coupon.
