The network speed is good, the user experience is great, it's cost-effective, and the eSIM means you don't need to change your SIM card, which is very convenient.
The car was in good condition, the staff were very friendly, the rental agreement was clearly explained, and I was informed in advance that I would be returning the car late. The fare was very reasonable.
There were two stops along the way, and we received sightseeing information. The snack set was delicious. The train was very clean. The only downside was that since I was traveling with my son, we had to share a seat. Overall, it was enjoyable.
Taipingshan in Yilan isn't really suitable for solo travelers like myself who can't drive. Online research showed that only two buses depart for Taipingshan at specific times in the morning, and only two buses return to Yilan at specific times. Therefore, after weighing the cost of a chartered car and the bus journey, I chose to join a one-day tour with KKDay.
If the trip goes ahead, you'll receive a contact from the tour guide and an updated voucher the day before. Thanks to Kelly from bus C for reminding us of the meeting time and location, and that we needed to purchase separate admission tickets, as KKDay's prices were indeed cheaper than buying them now.
It's really convenient to travel directly from Taipei to Taipingshan without worrying about transportation. Especially since the travel time between each attraction is only 35 to 45 minutes, showing how vast the area is. We were lucky that day and saw a beautiful sea of clouds; Kelly said she's led many tours, but this was only the second time she'd seen it. The tuk-tuk ride was also a unique experience; thankfully, she thoughtfully reminded us that the weather on the mountain is cool, so she suggested bringing a light jacket, otherwise we would have caught a chill.
Each attraction was also very special. Thank you Kelly for your thoughtfulness and care.
