I was extremely satisfied! The mountain peaks I saw at lunchtime, the breathtaking sea of ​​clouds I saw from Hehuan Mountain at sunset, and the vast starry sky I looked up at after the sun went down—all of them were unforgettable sights! Our guide, Xiao Yang, was also very kind; he communicated with me in English since I don't understand Chinese, and used a translation machine to put important things into Japanese to avoid any misunderstandings. He also took care of me since I was traveling alone, talking to me and taking lots of photos at the best viewpoints! I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to see a sky full of stars overhead in a dark sky reserve, or anyone who wants to see the spectacular views, sea of ​​clouds, and sunset from a mountaintop, even if they're not confident in their physical fitness! As a reminder, it was very cold and windy at the summit at night. I strongly recommend wearing an ultralight down jacket or Heattech fleece. Also, because we drove straight up to an altitude of 3000 meters, I experienced mild symptoms of altitude sickness (headache, nausea). I took medication and brought some with me. To sum it up: I was absolutely thrilled with the experience! The mountain peaks viewed at midday, the breathtaking sea of ​​​​clouds seen from Hehuan Mountain at sunset, and the vast, starry sky overhead after dark—every single view was spectacular and unforgettable. Our guide, Xiao Yang, was incredibly kind; he communicated with me in English since I don't speak Chinese, and used a translation device for important details to ensure there were no misunderstandings. He was also very attentive to

It had been a long time since I'd taken a train trip, so this time my friend and I booked the super popular Sea Breeze Express five months in advance. I initially thought it would just be about enjoying desserts and scenery along the way. Unexpectedly, there was a stop in Houtong, where a professional guide gave us a quick overview of the local mining history. We learned a lot in just a short time. We were also lucky with the weather that day; it only rained on our way back to Taipei. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who hasn't taken a train trip in a while and wants to experience the comfortable atmosphere of a sightseeing train.
