Nantou

I visited Sun Moon Lake by public transportation, and this time I decided to take a tour to visit Cingjing Farm, and I am extremely satisfied. The guide drove so well that I slept soundly and comfortably on both the outbound and return journeys, as Cingjing Farm is truly deep in the mountains. It was a Chinese-language tour, and although there were Koreans and Japanese passengers, communication was not a problem thanks to translation apps. They took so many photos of us at the bow of the boat at Sun Moon Lake that it felt just like being a Chinese influencer. They moved exactly on time and were incredibly kind. I heard in other reviews that they received melted bubble tea, but we received refreshing bubble tea packed with ice. If I were to give a tip for the tour, they don't contact you via KakaoTalk the day before, so Koreans should install Line in advance. Make sure to join their Line chat room beforehand as well.

The entire trip was exquisitely packaged, from receiving the transparent ticket to seating arrangements, concierge service, train ambiance, menu, souvenirs, and more – it felt like opening a gift, with surprises in every detail. Although the weather was overcast that day, preventing access to the most stunning views and coastal scenery, the overall sophistication of the package and food was captivating, making it impossible not to capture it with a camera! I especially appreciated the guided tours at the next stop, which included visits to towns and villages not typically visited on regular tours, offering a deeper understanding of Taiwan's local customs and culture. While the price wasn't cheap, it was still worthwhile. Furthermore, purchasing through KKday offered a $90 discount coupon, making it cheaper than buying directly from the website. And if tickets are sold out on the website, checking KKday again might still offer some availability.

昌哥是一位约30年经验的司机，全程平稳不急不躁，我们大人和小孩都坐得舒服。他也对旅游景点路线很熟知道哪里有什么便利店洗手间等，对小孩也友善，非常棒的经历。Chang is an experienced and seasoned driver who is very familiar with all the places around Taiwan tourist spots he even knew where was the nearest convenience shop, toilets, etc. He's a very friendly man who is kind even to children. Throughout our whole day journey, we had a smooth and comfortable ride as Chang is a driver who drove carefully and stably even up the winding road to the mountain area.

Although the mountain road was rugged, our guide, Xiao Jiang, drove very steadily and slept soundly the entire way. The weather was great that day; we saw a sea of ​​clouds and beautiful cherry blossoms. This trip was definitely worth it!

The overall process was smooth and it's a good way for lazy people to travel.
