Datong District

The ferry itinerary was well-arranged, the onboard guide was very attentive in explaining the Tamsui River and the riverside scenery, and the weather was sunny that day. The journey was truly enjoyable and well worth the ticket price.

The sea breeze was strong on the second floor, but the view of the sea was beautiful. The sun was extremely strong, so remember to use physical sunscreen. I saw two huge sea bass near the bridge on the island (near the Guanyin statue), and there were many turtles, indicating a healthy ecosystem. The cultural explanations were also quite good.

The shop is spacious; the masseur said the first floor and basement together cover 300 square meters, and the decor is very grand. The masseur is very experienced, pointing out areas of discomfort while massaging. Although I was in excruciating pain at the time, the masseur told me to take deep breaths and bear it. After the massage, I felt much more relaxed. The masseur is very kind, especially focusing on the uncomfortable areas, and I felt much better after the targeted treatment.

This was my first time in Taiwan. I booked a tour just for Jiufen. We were blessed with good weather, and Jiufen was even more beautiful than I imagined. Our guide was very kind and fun. The tea and snacks at A-Mei Tea House were delicious, and it pleasantly surprised me by defying the common tourist trap stereotype of expensive food that isn't tasty. The taro balls with ice were also delicious. I was able to enjoy the scenery from daylight until sunset.
