A wonderful trip, great value for money. Aside from the counter staff, everyone else provided excellent service. The public bath was clean and comfortable, and the afternoon tea was delicious. Overall, it's a place I would definitely want to go back to.
I chose a greedy 6-hour tour that included Shifen and Jiufen, from evening until late at night! At first, I was debating whether to explore Shifen and Jiufen on my own by train or bus, or to go on a full tour (around 15,000-20,000 yen per person), but after reading reviews that the return buses were extremely crowded and infrequent, I decided to charter a private car. In the end, it was really great! They took photos and videos of my trip and even made a short video for me as a gift at the end. They were very considerate, asking things like, "What do you want to do?", "Where do you want to go?", "Do you want to eat this?", "This is a great photo spot!", and even though we were speaking broken English, it was a lot of fun! Because my stay in Jiufen was short, I had about two hours to spare, so when I asked if I could go to a supermarket and a pharmacy to buy souvenirs, they readily agreed! They researched stores with a wide variety of goods and took me there. They were supposed to drop me off at Taipei Station on the way back, but when I told them I was going to the airport by MRT afterward, they said, "That's a different entrance!" And he took me all the way to the MRT station! And there was a microphone in the car, so we had a karaoke session! He was so helpful from start to finish, I really recommend him! Thank you, YANG! YANG, I'm so grateful!
The sodium bicarbonate spring (commonly known as the "Beauty Spring"), combined with a spa treatment and stunning views of the Nanshi Creek, along with a package deal and a choice between a hot pot meal, will soothe your mind and body.
It was a comfortable trip; the driver took great care of us and explained everything in detail.
