Taichung Nanfu Old Street Half-Day Tour

My husband, my mum, and I attended this tour together. Our tour guide was Shine. My husband and I are long-time residents of Taichung and had never heard of the history of Nantun District before, which is what made us interested in this tour. Shine did an amazing job explaining about and showing us the little tidbits of architectural and cultural history that still remain in the area. Our favorite part was comparing old photos to the exisitng streets to see what’s changed and what’s still there today, and also the blacksmith’s forge. We’ll definitely be coming back to buy some gardening tools! I personally also really loved the jute tea. We thought the desserts from 林金生香 WISH LIN 百年糕餅店 were beautiful and bought some cakes from them after the tour to enjoy later with tea.

Shine was absolutely amazing. No words can describe his hospitality and kindness! I booked another Tour with TC, the food market tour, with Miguel. And he was just as incredible as Shine. Cannot recommend this enough!

The tour guide was very friendly and explained in detail. He also invited us to drink the local specialty Ma Yi tea. I heard that this was the elixir of immortality found by the Egyptian queen in the past.
