New Taipei City

With the discount, it's cheaper than buying on-site. The golf course has fairways of various speeds, suitable for practice at all levels.

We participated as two adults. The tour was in English and Chinese, but it included all the sightseeing we wanted, so we chose it. We brought writing tools to ensure we met at each location and time, but everyone was Japanese that day. Perhaps because we didn't speak the language, the guide didn't offer detailed explanations of the tourist spots, and instead moved from one spot to the next, repeatedly disbanding and regrouping. Even in the Lantern area, it was crowded, so we didn't walk in a group, but rather in a disjointed line, so it was hard to see who was at the front and who was at the back. Each group was assigned a number, and there were frequent roll calls as we moved. We responded accordingly, and the responses gradually got faster (lol). Thanks to the careful roll calls, I was able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. I made it to the base of Shifen Waterfall and returned on time, but I had a bit of a scare at the end, running. Some people mistook a waterfall along the way for the Shifen Waterfall. It was disappointing that they'd wanted at least a general guideline, such as the number of minutes it would take to get to the end, rather than just "follow the path." The optional tea ceremony at Amei Teahouse was a fun experience, with tour guests able to enjoy the sunset and night view from the lantern window, listen to a lecture on how to brew tea, and chat with other tour guests at a round table.

The only disappointment was that two groups of participants could not be contacted, causing a delay of more than 10 minutes. The guide made an effort to contact them. It was a Friday night, but it was more crowded than I expected. I don't think I would have been able to get home without this bus. On the way back, as we neared the west gate, the guide gave us a little sightseeing tour, which was a pleasant surprise.

The driver arrived early, greeted us, and helped with our luggage; he was very friendly. The car was spacious, the seats were comfortable, and he drove very well! I'll definitely call him again next time I have the chance.
