Taitung

Relatively easy to book, and it's nice to have a foreign passport discount. Remember to bring your passport to the counter! You don't need to show up an hour earlier like they suggest- 30min or maybe even 20 is fine if off-season. We had confusion with our return ferry brand being changed, and the English wording made it sound like our whole trip had been cancelled, so we had to re-confirm with customer support. Our rides both ways were quite bumpy with lots of people throwing up from seasickness, so come prepared. They do offer plenty of doggy bags and trash bins to dipose them in.

The journey from Fangliao along the eastern coastline is scenic, with each vehicle equipped with a tour guide. Lunch is served with a bento box and fruit on board, making it an economical and affordable option.

This time, I brought a group of foreign friends to Green Island for tourism. Most of them didn't have motorcycle licenses, only car licenses. I let them experience Taiwan's motorcycle culture by riding electric motorcycles. The speed wasn't too high, making it very safe, but enough to get around the island and to the attractions. Electric motorcycles also don't produce exhaust fumes, and changing batteries is convenient—it's fantastic!

People are so helpful while I tried to figure out where to board the train in the huge station. Food was not the best. However it is a very nice way to hv a headline view the country. The mountain and coastal views were gprgeous! if you like Karaoke, there is a karaoke carriage where you can scream your favourite songs while strangers clapped and cheered you on.

I was really curious about Takami Wetlands. The weather was great, and I'm so glad I went. The guide called out to me at photogenic spots and took lots of pictures for me, which was fantastic! They even drove me back to Taichung Station for the Shinkansen, so it was a really great day trip! For those planning to go, be aware that the toilets in the Takami Wetlands parking lot don't have tissues, so you should bring your own.

It's always crowded, so early reservations are recommended. There's also space to store large suitcases, making it very comfortable.

I considered chartering a taxi, but ultimately chose this sightseeing tour because the price was attractive. This was the evening session. [Good points] - Since the meeting time is in the afternoon, I didn't have to wake up late. - I didn't need to plan the tour schedule myself. - The tour guide explained the route and recommended places. - The tour bus was spacious with high ceilings, so it didn't feel cramped. [Unexpected points] - The sightseeing spots were crowded, so the free time was shorter than expected (especially Yehliu and Shifen). - When other tour members were late for the meeting time, it caused inconvenience due to the waiting time. - There are many similar buses, so be careful not to get on the wrong one. This tour is suitable for those who want to visit many famous landmarks rather than spending time sightseeing in one place. I used this tour with my family, who were visiting Taipei for the first time, and we were very satisfied. Thank you!
