Kinmen

Super happy! I had originally booked a trip to Dadan Island for February 7th. On February 6th, before boarding the plane, I received a call from the travel agency saying that the waves would be too high on February 7th and 8th, so the trip was canceled and needed to be changed to February 6th. After picking up our luggage around 12 pm on February 6th, the B&B owner took us to Jiugong Wharf and we successfully boarded the island.

Great introduction to Little Kinmen. This is way more expensive than Route G of the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Service, but I didn't know how to book the latter, so thankfully this tour is offered on Klook. The guide also only spoke Mandarin, which was stated in the tour description, but he did try to use Google Translate for me. The other tourist I was with was also helpful in translating what the guide says from Mandarin to English. So, I still recommend the tour even for non-Mandarin speakers.

Experience: It's not often you get to experience hands-on crafting, so seeing the finished product gives you a great sense of accomplishment. Definitely worth trying! The staff explained everything clearly and provided helpful assistance when needed. Highly recommended.

Brought the little ones to experience the Hanfu they've been dreaming about! The owner is very skillful and super patient, transforming them into beautiful styles in an instant! The girls are so happy and keep saying they want to come back and have the sister make them pretty again!

The qipao experience was amazing, and the owner took so many beautiful photos for us. If you're not sure how to pose, the owner will patiently guide you to get the best shots. Highly recommend trying Style of Shanghai!

Very fun! It can help children develop their observation skills and hands-on abilities. It's the kind of thing kids can play with on their own with LEGOs, and adults only need to help with things that are difficult to assemble.

Once inside the terminal, check at the desk to see which ship is checking in. Show them your passport and Klook code, and they will take your passport and give you a ticket. It's convenient to book this way, which is great, but when I checked the ticket, it was 750 Taiwan dollars. Even if you calculate it at roughly 50 won per Korean currency, it's about 37,500 won, so please note that you have to pay a little more. For reference, you can sit anywhere on the boat after boarding, and there are restrooms inside. When I boarded, there was almost no shaking, so there was no seasickness at all.

The rental location is conveniently located just a short walk from the airport exit. I also appreciated the full tank upon pickup and return policy (at least I didn't have to worry about filling up in stages like other places, afraid of putting in too much gas! 🤣)

My father and I had an amazing tour of Kinmen. Judy was our English speaking guide and she was wonderful. She tailored the tour specifically to our interests. Judy planned out our tour route efficiently to maximize our time. We were only in Kinmen for 8 hours and we were able to see all the sites we wanted. We even had time to stop for a delicious lunch of beef noodle soup. Judy's English is great. She is from Kinmen and is extremely knowledgeable about Kinmen's history and its culture. She answered all our questions thoroughly. She is also very kind, professional, and has a great sense of humor. The tour operator was also very responsive and answered all questions prior to the tour. We highly recommend this tour and Judy as a tour guide!!! Kinmen is a beautiful place and we hope to visit again soon.
