I had only ever bought pineapple cakes before, but making them myself was a unique and fun experience. It didn't require as many ingredients as I thought, and it was an experience that made me realize they are a healthy snack. Even though the instructions are in English, it is easy to follow. They also gave me a discount coupon, so I was able to buy items at the gift shop at a slightly lower price after the experience. The afternoon tea set was also delicious and nice.
I was happy to see the Chinese cabbage, which I couldn't see during my last business trip. Entry was smooth, and the view from the restaurant was also great.
I had a pretty hectic schedule because I wanted to get all the perks, but I enjoyed each and every one of them!
It was so convenient being able to enter trains and facilities with just one card. It was incredibly useful on my first trip to Taiwan!
We were able to efficiently visit Shifen Waterfall, Shifen, Jiufen, and then our hotel as a family of four, starting from the airport! ! ! We received so much help and hospitality ✨✨ Thank you!
There were many people during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, but the wait for facilities wasn't long. The weather was very hot, but overall it was a good experience.
The environment is comfortable, and exchanging tickets is very convenient; not having to take out cash to pay is fantastic. You can also buy tickets at the entrance if needed, which is really convenient. The exhibits inside are incredibly diverse; I always manage to spend half a day here.
