Thank you, driver Xiong! His service was excellent, his driving was safe and stable, he asked if we were too cold and reminded us to take motion sickness medication, and he even provided suitable music to help us sleep during the journey. He's also a fantastic photographer and doesn't talk too much. The itinerary was perfectly planned, and I hope to ride in his car again.

The park is very clean, and the staff are very friendly! The animals are well cared for, and you can get up close to meerkats and sloths, as well as adorable groundhogs and koalas. It's definitely worth taking your kids there!

Peggy was our guide, and she was incredibly kind and made the trip enjoyable. I went with a friend, but I think my mom would have loved it if I had brought her. We went in early November, and Taiwan had just gotten colder, so I was worried it would be that cold up there, but it was really cold, around 10 degrees Celsius. I recommend wearing several layers of thin clothing and a suitable windbreaker on top. If you feel cold easily, a light down jacket is fine. My friend was so thin that she ended up wearing two raincoats. LOL. There wasn't much sunlight, but it was often drizzly and foggy, so a hat and raincoat were really helpful. Raincoats are sold at vending machines on the mountain for 20 NTD, but I wore the raincoat I brought with me. Since there's no food on the mountain, it's a good idea to buy some snacks beforehand. I bought some chestnuts and some snacks, and they were delicious. LOL. There were eight of us in the car, including the guide, so it's best to buy snacks that don't smell bad. The road there is very winding, so some people might get motion sickness. I also ate eggs and corn at the hot springs, and they were very delicious because they were cooked in the hot spring water. The eggs cost 100 NTD for 6 eggs and the corn for 100 NTD for 2. You can rent a basket to soak in the hot springs for 20 NTD, but there is a 200 NTD penalty, so you can return it and get your money back. I thought I could bathe in the hot springs, but that wasn't the case. I ate eggs and corn on the joined tour. It might be different for a private tour. After the hot springs, we went to eat Ai Yu that the guide took us to, and that was really delicious. I didn't expect much because I've lived in Taiwan for a long time, but it was delicious. I thought I would return late in the evening, but I arrived at Taipei Station around 6:10 PM on a weekday, Monday. If you love nature and forest hot springs, I highly recommend this trip.

This day trip isn't the typical group tour; it's more like a shared ride (the size of the vehicle may vary depending on the number of people). You get off at a designated spot and board at a pre-arranged time. It's not a completely mindless tour; some research is necessary. It's suitable for those who want to take photos quickly, have limited time, and just want a brief, whirlwind experience. It's not suitable for leisurely travel, those who prefer a relaxed pace, older travelers, or those who haven't done any research beforehand.

The temperature on the mountain fluctuates greatly, so bring warm clothing. There are reasonably priced and conveniently located food stalls, and riding the tuk-tuk is quite fun. Unfortunately, it rained during my visit to Victoria Peak, and the drizzle prevented me from seeing many of the beautiful sights.

meet up point is easy and convenient and tour guide Vincent is very professional and very cheerful he help us with photo taking and throughout the journey even though it was raining but it was still enjoyable. had a good experience becoming a farmer and had fun diy the pancake. we had lots of fun at the zhang mei farm with lovely capybara.
