Yilan: Taiping Mountain & Jiuzhize Hot Spring Day Tour

We had a great time at Taipingshan National Forest and Jioujhihze Hot Spring. Jerry 568 is very friendly and accommodating. He talked about interesting history about the park and Yilan county. Highly recommended tour!

we were 2 people joined to another group of 4. it was good ride, itinerary was good. Going up the mountain has too many bends so prepare yourself mentally if you get easily car sick. Train was not running on the day we went, so check on train schedule if you want to catch that. I think it is magical to ride the train during misty/foggy time, but can be very hot during sunny hours. When we arrived it was sunny, forest is short walk with nice few fay trap looking trees and mossy patches. As we were about to leave, it got misty, and was magical ride down the mountain.

My photographer, tour guide also my driver Papa Bear (Mr Hsieh). He is a knowledgeable and friendly person. His positive attitude, professional and courtesy make our trip very fruitful. He plays good 80s songs for us along the day trip in the car Taipingshan is a serene and peaceful place to visit but sadly is too short of time to be there due to the distance from Taipei. I would strongly recommended travel thru Yilan directly from Klook Jancing Trail and the sea of cloud from Taipingshan are amazing and my favorite of all. Jiuzhize hot springs onsen and cooking eggs or corns are something memorable too We

I want to sincerely thank our tour guide for making this trip such a memorable experience. She was incredibly caring and attentive, always making sure everyone felt comfortable and included. Her deep knowledge brought each place to life, and she patiently answered all of our questions with a smile. What stood out most was her kindness and willingness to help us throughout the journey—whether big or small, she was always there to support us. Her professionalism and warmth truly elevated the trip, and I feel grateful to have had her as our guide.

Had a great day! Joanna was a great guide and was very caring to our whole group. The itinerary was great and we had a fantastic time 👍

All the sceneries and the tour itself is really beautiful. Yilan is really amazing. Also, the tourguide Ms. Joanna is really accommodating!

this is a great trip and Joanna was a fabulous guide. She was chatting all the way through the drive up to Taipingshan and telling us all about the things on the way. This tour is not very known to foreign tourists.

We booked the private tour and it was amazing. The views were gorgeous. Our guide Joanna Lin was so incredibly sweet and knowledgeable. She informed us that she's actually a local of the area, it was exciting to learn from a local. She gave adequate time for us to explore and even did a few extra and beyond things like getting us Yilan green onion cake on the way back. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. My friend and I were incredibly impressed. If we ever do a tour in the area again I would definitely request her again.

We engaged the private tour and was fortunate enough to be guided by Ms Joanna Lin. She was a really experienced and safe driver, packed with a wealth of knowledge of Taiwan's history, and was lovely and super caring for our well-being en route to Taiping Mountain. Joanna took the effort to explain some of the history of Taiwan and its indigenous peoples while traversing up the mountain, constantly checking with us if the swerves were making us uncomfortable. While up on the mountain, she offered to take photos for us and helped us captured scenic shots. On our way back, she also introduced us to the vast variety of produce coming from Yilan while driving through watermelon, scallion and paddy fields. Joanna was super accommodating to our requests and catered to our needs. Thanks Joanna!

We booked a private tour and it was worth it. Joanna Lin was an excellent guide-driver. She was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and very happy to accommodate our pacings. The drive up Taipingshan Forest Reserve was skilfully accomplished. The views were spectacular and the air was clear & pristine. The only drawback we had was the size of the car, we were 4 fairly tall adults and the car (Toyota Wish) was a bit of a squeeze. This is a private tour for a minimum of 2 so we wrongly assumed that with 4, we would get a larger car. Especially as the journey was quite long, around 3-hour one way. This is not a comment of Ms Lin’s skill as guide-driver, which as I mentioned above, was superb.
