I had a reservation for 7:30 PM, but due to the large crowd, I arrived a little after 7:00 PM.
Even so, the staff immediately attended to me, and I was able to enjoy a fantastic view from the balcony seating on the third floor. The tea experience was easy to understand because the staff spoke Japanese, and I thoroughly enjoyed the tea and sweets. Having made a reservation in advance meant I only had to show the voucher and didn't have to pay anything afterward, which was incredibly helpful. Thank you very much.
Thank you, Ouyangsen driver! 😊 The car was clean and the driving was smooth and comfortable. You were able to accommodate my last-minute requests, and I had a wonderful time. The lantern spot in Shifen was great. I am very satisfied.
Two women in their 20s visited. We showed them a copy of our reservation and they showed us to our table right away. There were many staff members who could speak Japanese, so we felt at ease. We were able to relax in a seat with a view of the outside. The sweets weren't too strong in flavor, so I think anyone would enjoy them. It was raining heavily and it was around 2 PM on a weekday, so it was possible to use the restaurant without a reservation and there were several menu options to choose from, but I think it's safer and easier to understand if you have a reservation. The toilets are Japanese style, but they are much cleaner than the toilets near the entrance to Jiufen, so you should use them here.
I used this service for my first trip to Taiwan, but unfortunately it rained, so we couldn't go to Yehliu. However, we were able to depart by extending our time to visit Jiufen and Shifen. The explanations and guidance for things like releasing lanterns were efficient, and since there were more than 20 of us, we were able to travel comfortably in a regular tour bus. It was an afternoon tour, but the guide's explanations were easy to understand.
The weather was bad, so I was able to use the unlimited bus pass, which was a great help. I visited the National Palace Museum, Jiufen, and Shifen. I was also very happy to receive a cute cup as a gift.
It was very hot.
The railway bike ride was a lot of fun, and the scenery along the way was beautiful.
It was a bit of a shame that I couldn't buy a round-trip ticket this time. Changing my train time at the last minute was possible by waiting in line, which was quite convenient.
The itinerary was excellent, and the tour guide was very friendly, helping us order delicious food, choose sky lanterns, and providing great explanations of the itinerary. Time management was also superb! The only downside was that we had to return to the bus early because the air conditioning wouldn't be turned on earlier if there weren't enough people! Everything else was great 👍! A great choice for a day trip!
