1. The Rainbow Hut is beautiful, and the sea next to it is very clear. I recommend wearing comfortable sandals or bringing a towel so you can walk on the beach and wade in the water without worry. 2. You can choose whether or not to enter the Moonlight Zoo and have lunch there. The advantage of joining a day tour is that at least you can complete the zoo check-in task 🤣 3. The steam train is a must-see attraction. I originally saw on YouTube videos or other people's experiences that you only ride for a short stop before the tour bus takes you to the next point, but this tour allows you to ride for quite a long time 👍. Don't worry about sitting on the left or right side, as both have their own unique features. 4. For the Nobbies and penguin viewing, since it's close to the beach and at night, you'll need a hat and a windproof jacket. It's summer now, and although it can be chilly when the wind is blowing, it's not as bad as I've heard. It's more like a slightly cool winter in Taiwan. A windproof and warm jacket and hat are enough. 5. The Mercedes-Benz small group tour felt more refined, but because of the smaller group size, it really depends on how well you get along with the tour members and leader. The Chinese-speaking tour was mostly a mix of Taiwanese and mainland Chinese people. It was a little awkward at first, but we got along better after a whole day together. Also, although it was a Mercedes-Benz SUV, after a whole day of driving around, compared to my experience with other tours, I felt that choosing a larger group tour plus bus would be more comfortable in the future.
The driver and tour guide were very professional and concise. They covered all the important points, and the whole trip went very smoothly.
