Jiaoxi

The food was plentiful and delicious, and the service was excellent. The hotel pool had a hot spring bath, which could also be used for swimming, making it a wonderful travel experience.

The driver was incredibly kind. He took photos for us while we were sightseeing, explained confusing routes, and gave us lots of helpful information about things to watch out for. I chose Japanese as the language, but the driver only spoke Chinese, which initially made me a little anxious. However, he used a translation app, so we didn't have any problems. I researched the locations myself and told him my plan, which included Yehliu, Heping Island, Shifen, Cat Village, and Jiufen, so it was a bit hectic, but he still managed to drop me off at my designated location in Taipei within 10 hours. I couldn't find another option to charter a taxi for 10 hours for this price; I think it's a fantastic tour.

I was overwhelmed by how spacious the hotel was. You can enter the bath by going to the reception on the 3rd floor and showing your voucher. The front desk on the 1st floor speaks Japanese, so if you're unsure, you can stop by there first. You get to spend 90 minutes in a completely private room, so I regret not bringing my own drinks (there is water and a refrigerator). Towels and a hairdryer are provided, and it was a great experience.
