It was a fantastic experience. After soaking in the hot spring at night, we walked from the motorcycle shed along the Orange Light Trail to Sailboat Nose to see the stars. It was a pity the lights were too bright. I hope to have the opportunity to experience watching the sunrise at Asahi Onsen again. I recommend taking the western half of the trail when you come, although it will take a few minutes longer (especially at night, please do not take the eastern mountain road, there are almost no lights, and the children were scared to death).
I booked a Japanese-speaking guide, but it turned out to be in Chinese, and the difference in price was refunded. However, the guide used a translation app to explain things in Japanese, so there were no inconveniences. Although we didn't see the full sunset, I was glad to see such beautiful scenery. The guide was also very kind and took photos for us, making it a wonderful memory. I highly recommend this tour.
Good scooter, my girlfriend was scared she could not reach the ground with her legs but this was perfect, Not to fast not to slow and a long battery life.
Nice to have a silent ride so you can stil talk while driving and hear the sounds of the island!
You could change battery at 3 spots on the island on any time of day.
I was traveling with a friend and we were making a round trip between Taipei and Kaohsiung. After comparing the prices of both options, I decided on this one because it was 30% off. While advance train and seat reservations are possible via the app and redeeming the High-Speed Rail tickets within the app, and then booking through the High-Speed Rail official website the day after redemption, I couldn't book adjacent seats in Japan because each person received a separate High-Speed Rail Redeem number (perhaps due to individual pass issuance). In reality, we were able to secure adjacent seats at the station ticket counter the day before, so there were no problems. We also redeemed our subway tickets at the station. I didn't have a chance to use the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle bus, but if you're planning a round trip between Taipei and Kaohsiung (or now Taipei and Tainan), I think it's worth considering. Using it is similar to the 15% discount for foreigners; you show your passport to the station attendant at the ticket gate. Please note that the carriage and seat numbers are handwritten by the station attendant, so they may be difficult to read.
