Taichung

It was as comfortable as Japan's Shinkansen bullet train. I was glad I could use it at half price for a one-way trip. Booking was also smooth.

At first, it was a bit choppy and unresponsive, so I contacted their customer service. They taught me how to use it, and after that, watching shows was no problem. I really appreciate their customer service; there's always someone there to help. Highly recommended!

The children had a great time; two hours seemed like not enough. The wooden toys were all of good quality.

The driver managed the itinerary very well, and we were able to reach the important performance at Cingjing Farm smoothly and see it. Although there was a section of heavy rain on the return highway, with torrential downpours so heavy that we could barely see the car in front! Everyone was exhausted, but the driver quietly and safely drove us to our destination. A big thank you to the driver for his hard work!

I also participated in a tour in January, so this was my second time. I feel bad about the difficulty of communication on local tours because I don't speak Chinese (and my English is quite shaky), but when I participated in January, I was able to communicate fairly well using a translation app on my phone, so this time I also informed them in advance that I couldn't speak the language before signing up. I usually go alone wherever I can (I've been to Alishan once by Taiwan Tourist Shuttle bus), but tours are definitely more efficient for sightseeing. Our driver this time, Wang Wang, used LINE's translation function to communicate frequently in the group chat, and he also shared a lot of local information during the hike, which made it incredibly enjoyable. Thank you so much for your kindness. The group from Hong Kong who were in the same car were also very cheerful, and we had a wonderful day. Alishan truly has beautiful scenery, and walking there feels like a cleansing experience. It has become a precious memory.

I was really curious about Takami Wetlands. The weather was great, and I'm so glad I went. The guide called out to me at photogenic spots and took lots of pictures for me, which was fantastic! They even drove me back to Taichung Station for the Shinkansen, so it was a really great day trip! For those planning to go, be aware that the toilets in the Takami Wetlands parking lot don't have tissues, so you should bring your own.

Both the sweet and savory meals were delicious, and the train stopped twice to explore, listen to historical stories, and take photos of Turtle Island. The interior of the train was upscale and comfortable, and the service staff were very friendly.

We participated in this activity during a family trip to Taichung. Since it's open to children as young as six, three generations—my child, myself, and my parents—experienced it together. The staff member spoke English and explained everything primarily in English, which was a great help for us since we don't speak Taiwanese. Using the provided equipment, including a shaker, we made two drinks: bubble tea and tapioca milk tea. It was a fascinating experience, engaging all our senses—seeing, hearing, smelling, and touching the tapioca pearls before they were boiled. At the end, we received a certificate of completion and a shaker as a gift, making it a wonderful souvenir of our trip. If we have the opportunity to travel again, we would love to participate again!
