Water level was quite high the day we went so it was pretty fun but also very tiring as we had to fight the strong water flow when moving to the sides of the river (with or without our tubes) to wait for other members of the group. Location was quite remote so would need a long drive / ride to get there from Luodong city. However, the views made up for it and the instructors really looked out for safety. Photos could be better (better still if they could film some videos too) and sunblock + insect repellant are a must! Overall a fun and memorable experience.

Safety: The instructors were very diligent in ensuring safety. However, the stream near the waterfall was quite rapid, and I almost got swept away 😿. I hope the instructors can pay more attention to this in the future and keep people closer to the shore. Experience: Overall, it was super fun! We got to experience the lazy river, cliff jumping, and see the waterfall. Plus, we got photos, which made it worth the price 😻. The instructors were also very helpful in pointing out where to find the photos 👍🏻. Facilities: The bathrooms were large, had hot water and hair dryers, and there were enough of them, so we didn't have to wait too long 🫶🏻. Instructors: Thank you for your attention to detail and dedication. You made our vacation very enjoyable. Thank you for your hard work! Also, thank you for waiting and calling to remind us that the location was in Nan'ao, we almost went to the wrong place 🫠🫠.

The tour coach was very kind and attentive, taking special care of the children and the elderly. The rafting activity was a lot of fun, and the kids all had a great time. I was particularly surprised by the very spacious showers with plenty of hot water after the tour, and even more so by the availability of hair dryers. The owner was also very kind to give us a ride to a nearby fishing port for dinner.

The National Center for Traditional Arts boasts a beautiful environment, blending traditional architecture, craft experiences, and performing arts, making it a great place for families to visit. The park features numerous hands-on experiences, opera performances, and unique snacks, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the rich cultural atmosphere of Taiwan. The overall layout is clear, with plenty of photo-worthy spots, but some shops are a bit pricey, and it can get crowded when there are many people. Overall, it is well worth planning a half-day or full-day trip, offering both educational and recreational opportunities to relax and unwind. Experiences: Facilities:

The staff at the park are wonderful, very friendly and enthusiastic, making the visitor experience fantastic. The whole place feels like a dreamy paradise, and anyone who loves cute animals will be thrilled to come here! There are so many capybaras! Including baby ones, and like the sika deer, you can interact with them up close. I really hope to have the opportunity to come again next time. Each sika deer has its own name tag, making it easy for visitors to identify them and interact through feeding. I remember being a little afraid of how lively they were at the time, and it was difficult to take a good photo, but I really think they are all so cute. In addition to seeing small animals, the park also sells food, fortune sticks and other relaxing or fun experiences. A very worthwhile Yilan attraction to visit, I loved it!

We went end of Oct so it was misty and rainy which can be somewhat troublesome, it's 12 degrees so do wear thicker clothing! Because it was so misty it felt like we were in a Japanese mountain from the movie, we managed to go to the hot spring (around 25-30mins) + cook corn and eggs! recommend to bring along swimming cap,slippers and swimwear for the hot spring! also would be good to bring your own bread to go along with the corn and egg although they do sell Ba Zhang (and some basic burger buns over there). our driver qisong is very friendly and helpful with excellent driving skills! oh I really liked the bong bong train too! do note for the bong bong you'll have to go up the staircase - saw some other older visitors struggling but manage to climb it might not be suitable for people with difficulty climbing.

I had a wonderful time at Yilan Zhang Mei Grandma Farm, which I booked through Klook. The experience was really enjoyable, especially interacting with the animals. I got to feed and play with capybaras and a variety of sheeps, which was such a fun and unique experience. On top of that, the ticket included free animal feed, so I could continue engaging with the animals throughout the visit. The farm also served a delicious onion pancake, which was a tasty treat after spending time with the animals. Overall, it was a fun, relaxing, and memorable visit — highly recommended for animal lovers and families!

The staff is dedicated to explaining and introducing the animals' names, characteristics, and preferred ways of interacting, making the experience highly recommended! The park isn't large, but it's very clean. The staff promptly cleans up after the animals, and there are many diverse and adorable hands-on workshops available!
