[City Walking Tour] Taipei | Longshan Temple Historical & Cultural Tour | Chinese, English, & Japanese Commentary Services | KKday Signature Tour
We were staying at a hotel near Longshan Temple, so we thought it would be a good opportunity to learn about its history and architecture, and since the price was reasonable, we signed up for the tour. This time, it was a tour for four people, including my husband and me and one other couple, and it was well worth the price. I've signed up for many tours before, but this one exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it. Akie, who was in charge of our tour that day, had studied at a Japanese university and provided wonderful guidance that was tailored to us Japanese. Her personality was also wonderful, and she was full of hospitality, saying that she wanted to do everything she could for us since we were Japanese people who had come all the way to Taiwan, making it a truly memorable experience. At Longshan Temple, we learned about the religion, beliefs, and worship methods of Taiwanese people. For the fortune-telling, we were told that you have to drop two red crescent-shaped blocks onto the ground, and if you get 100 points three times (one face up and one face down), you can draw a fortune slip. The two couples worked hard to get 100 points three times and successfully drew fortune slips, and Akie also told us what was written on them. Also, on the way to Ximending, Akie showed us delicious local shops selling meat congee, pepper buns, and douhua (tofu pudding), and we enjoyed meals and listened to a guided tour of a brick-making workshop where cedar bark was being peeled. On top of that, after the tour, when I asked where I could buy delicious tea, pineapple cakes, mango shaved ice, and get a massage, she kindly recommended good and inexpensive shops and even guided me to the shops beyond the scheduled time, even though the tour had just ended. Everything I bought there was inexpensive and delicious, and I was so grateful. I am so thankful to the tour and Akie for making my stay in Taipei even more satisfying. I look forward to the day when I can meet Akie on another tour. Thank you very much.
