Taipei Performing Arts Center

One of our group day-tours got cancelled, but we were still able to go to Taipei 101 since we reserved tickets. This was one the highlights of our trip to Taiwan. The tower itself is more beautiful and magnificent in person. Even looking up at it from the street was such a sight to see. YouTube videos and postcards do not do it justice. We had access to the 89th Obseravatory Floor and it was worth it. We were able to get pictures prior to getting on the elevator. The 89th floor offered 360 degree views of Taipei and it was glorious. We were there around 5:45 to 6:45 pm and that was perfect for a golden sunset. The floor had a flux of photogenic backgrounds and props, some adorable cafes and treats, a souvenir shop, the Tuned Mass Dumper section, and the elevators to go up and down the tower. This was an unforgettable experience and easily topped some of my prior tower visits in the USA.

Un bon lloc per passar-hi tot un dia. Comenceu per dalt i aneu baixant. La col·lecció està ordenada des del període més antic a la planta superior, i les peces més recents a les plantes inferiors. El transport públic per arribar-hi és fàcil i més barat que l'autobús turístic. Hi ha tantes peces que potser voldreu tornar un altre dia per veure la resta. Mengeu abans de venir aquí, ja que només hi ha una petita cafeteria que sempre està plena. A més de les seves peces més populars que la gent sembla que li agrada veure, trobareu altres peces que us agradaran. Jo vaig trobar que les copes de la porta eren les que preferia per sobre de les peces populars.

Spring City Resort 春天酒店 Aquesta vegada vam utilitzar el paquet de Klook, que incloïa un àpat i dues hores a la sala de bany termal, per un preu de 3500 dòlars taiwanesos. Quan el cotxe arriba a l'entrada de l'hotel, hi ha personal que t'ajuda amb el servei d'aparcament, ja que no es permet que els conductors aparquin ells mateixos. En marxar, cal donar propina, així que és bo estar preparat per evitar moments incòmodes amb la cartera. El sopar era de cuina japonesa, amb un menú fix sense opcions addicionals. En general, estava bé. Després de menjar, es pot passejar pels voltants abans de tornar a les aigües termals, el ritme de l'itinerari és força agradable. L'espai de la sala de bany termal té una certa antiguitat, amb un estil de decoració més antic, però l'habitació és gran i la zona de bany també és espaiosa. L'aïllament acústic de la porta principal és normal, però com que vam venir entre setmana i no hi havia molta gent, no va afectar gaire. El que va ser una mica confús és que, poc després d'entrar a l'habitació, el personal de neteja va trucar a la porta dient que el temps s'havia acabat. En aquell moment, ens vam quedar completament perplexos, pensant: "Acabem d'entrar, el temps passa massa ràpid o la nostra vida s'ha accelerat?" Després que el personal de neteja ho va comprovar, es va disculpar i va marxar, però aquest petit incident va ser realment una mica estrany. En general, tot i que les instal·lacions i la decoració del Spring City Resort mostren la seva edat, el servei és generalment acceptable i l'ambient és de vacances. Per un àpat i dues hores a la sala de bany termal per 3500 dòlars taiwanesos, la relació qualitat-preu és raonable, i és un lloc on es pot anar a relaxar-se i gaudir de les aigües termals.

He gaudit de l'excursió amb la meva mare i l'àvia! Estava molt ben organitzada i tot va ser puntual. A més, he après més coses sobre Taiwan mentre anàvem cap a les nostres destinació. La Kate és una guia fantàstica! Estic desitjant reservar més viatges i activitats.

The Fun Pass is really useful and great. However, if you try to enjoy all these benefits within a short schedule, your trip might become too exhausting. So, I recommend comparing the monetary value of the benefits you'd get and then making your purchase. For attractions like Yehliu Geopark, Jinguashi, and the Shifen Sky Lantern experience, you might find it more effective to purchase a separate Fun Trip Yehliu-Shifen-Jiufen-Jinguashi (YES FOG JING) bus tour and use them together. Also, as a side note, I recommend adding the Funlab bag-making experience to your itinerary. It's surprisingly fun and provides a cool space for a short break. The wood glue they provide takes a long time to dry after attaching materials, so rather than rushing to sew, it's better to glue the pieces, put them in a plastic bag, carry them carefully, and by the next day, they should be completely dry. Using glue will save you a lot of time.

Visiting Beitou Water House for a private bathhouse session was one of the most relaxing highlights of our Taipei trip. We originally walked in intending to purchase our tickets on-site, but the front desk staff was incredibly honest and helpful, suggesting that we book via Klook instead since it may be cheaper. We booked it on our phones right at the lobby, and the entire 90-minute experience was simply the best. The warm white sulfur soak did wonders for our tired muscles, helping us fully recover after logging over 20,000 steps each day of our trip. Between the therapeutic mineral water, sleek ambiance, and exceptional customer service, we will definitely be returning on our next visit to Taipei.

All of the amenities are functioning right except the water station, the cold water is not available. A vendo at the snacking area could be also useful. Nonetheless, I had a great experience with Shan Yue and will definitely comeback for more.

The facility was very good. The hot spring was also very pleasant. It wasn't like those strong sulfur springs where all your belongings smell like the hot spring when you get home; it was just right. The access from the station and other tourist spots is also good, so I recommend it if you're visiting Taipei. However, I imagine it's similar at most hot springs, but regulars seem to dominate the space. I was warned for not wearing a shower cap (which isn't customary in Japan), while they were eating food they brought into the bathing area. I want to respect local rules, so if shower caps are mandatory, I would appreciate it if that were clearly stated. If eating and drinking are also permitted, removing the 'no eating/drinking' signs would prevent me from feeling confused.

Aquesta va ser una reserva d'última hora. La vaig reservar de camí a Beitou. La vaig bescanviar en 15 minuts sense problemes. El personal va ser molt complaent i els 90 minuts per al bany van ser més que suficients. També hi havia aperitius i begudes fredes de cortesia. Hi ha una piscina d'aigua freda i calenta dins de l'habitació privada. Tingueu en compte que hi ha una tarifa addicional de 300 NTD per a les visites de cap de setmana.
