Еднодневна обиколка на езерото на хилядата острова, Шифен и Джиуфен с взимане от хотела

A lovely tour, even though our guide only spoke Chinese. Our fellow travelers translated all the important information for us. The tour around the lake is significantly more beautiful than the one we did last year through the Geopark.

The tour guide Mr Lin was very sociable and very helpful. We picked the wrong day but made the most of it out. it was raining a lot and couldn't quite see the island. We went to visit the tea garden and had a really nice high mountain tea. Juifen was buzzing despite the rain. unfortunately we never made it to the waterfall because the rain was too heavy. But if the weather was better this trip would have been very enjoyable.

Comfortable ride and smooth arrangements! The view at Thousand Islands is really good, Tour guide 林天送 is always willing to recommend good food along the way. Wish could have more time to spend at Jiufen, 90mins may not be sufficient.

Great stories from Driver Mr Lin Tiansong. He has superb driving skill noticeable from his navigation up to 1000 island lake. He made the whole trip interesting from the stories he told and jokes he cracked.

公車到不了，參加一日遊專車接送很不賴，直接住宿地接送，司導很專業，甚至還沒到目的地，沿路就開始介紹了，很推薦

感謝林先生作架車及行程講解，接送準時，講解清晰，給我們愉快的一天，千島湖景色美，九份美食多，十分瀑布精彩，放天燈有趣，很開心。

林天送師傅很好人，專業。行程千島湖介紹不同湖的形態。參觀千島湖行程比較適合愛看風景山水的旅客。九份時間可以再長一點。十分瀑布十分美，放天燈的店非常好，有冷氣可以慢慢寫，放完天燈，不行十分老街，可以係店入面坐下喝咖啡同食件蛋糕，不錯的選擇

Great tour to cover all places. Chinese speaking tour - but there were some non-Chinese speakers and I helped with the translations. The guide kind of expected me to help translate everything in the end which was a bit annoying. Jiufen Eats and Sights: - #魚丸伯仔魚丸店 : got the combo which included stuffed beancurd (2), fish balls and Tomyum Dongfen for TWD105 (aud5). Highly recommend the stuffed beancurd. The fish balls were just okay. - #金石工坊招財貓本鋪 for cute cat-themed souvenirs - #九份第一家臭豆腐 First Stinky Tofu store: crispy tofu TWD65 （nice) - #頼阿婆芋圆 Grandma Lai’s sweet taro balls TWD50: These were just okay; taro balls too soft and not chewy (can skip) - #阿蘭芋粿草仔粿: Each for TWD20. Saw a line and joined it. It's really good. Love the savoury radish and taro ones. Also bought red bean and savoury mung bean but didn't get to try this (first world problems: too much food) and now they're spoilt. Visited Shifen for the waterfalls and the Old Street. It is a spot which is known for its sky lanterns aka KongMing lanterns #孔明灯 . What most visitors do is write wishes on the lanterns (different colours and different wishes has a different pricing). I did not participate in this as it’s environmentally unfriendly. This goes against the widely-advertised environmental conscious campaign in Taipei about disposables in hotels: could not help think about these double standards. I ordered mango ice instead. 🙃 Would recommend this tour to cover all these places. Visited on a Monday to avoid the crowds. Note that there was a bit of a hike to get to the Crocodile Island Viewing Platform. There may also be pickpockets at crowded areas in Jiufen so best to keep backpacks in front.

林司機很替我們着想，盡量直接駕車到目的地，避免我們在如此熱的天氣下走路。旅程中我們走過很多美麗的景點，品嚐了很多台灣的美食。值得一去！

very good small group private experience. knowledgeable Mandarin guide who provided facts about the towns etc along the way.
