Fun and convenient, glamping offers an incredible value! The campsite is clean, giving us complete peace of mind while bringing the kids. There are also plenty of children's play facilities—truly a paradise for kids. The breakfast is delicious with a wide variety of choices. We will definitely visit again if we get the chance. It's just super hard to book the RVs! 😂

I was drawn by the inclusion of the forest railway, so I booked a 2-day, 1-night Alishan trip (outbound: car, return: car + train). After the reservation was confirmed, I received information about what to bring and precautions via LINE. Closer to the date, I also received detailed information about the meeting point, driver's name, and vehicle number, which was reassuring. (All in Chinese, but translation software helped.) The documents provided when boarding the shuttle car also included Japanese, which was easy to understand. The guide spoke Chinese, so I needed someone to translate for me, but there was plenty of explanation time during the 2-hour hike. The paths were well-maintained with wooden decks and stone pavements, so even with my limited stamina and in the rain, I was able to walk comfortably. One word of caution: if you use a private car transfer, there's a high risk of motion sickness because the winding mountain roads have significant inclines. Even though I don't usually get car sick, I felt quite ill during the return transfer from Alishan to Fenqihu and wished I had brought motion sickness medication.

It was a great 2 days trip and totally worth it to go to Alishan (one day would have been too rush and not having enough time to enjoy Alishan/ Chiayi/ Taichung). Mr B. Tsai was very accommodating and flexible with itinerary, especially with kid. That’s the benefit of having private tour as we were able to change itinerary to suit us. He also dropped us off at Taoyuan airport af the end of the tour as per request. Accommodation was clean, quiet with beautiful view of tea farm. Will definitely book with them for other tours when next visit Taiwan.

Great 4.0
I went to the location last minute and was assigned a therapist for a 100-minute foot and body massage. Overall, the service was satisfactory. I felt that this therapist was a bit new, but I believe with more practice and experience, they will become a top performer at the shop!

The accommodation was great, located in Chiayi City. The room had a bathtub and a separate wet/dry area, which was very nice. However, the cleaning staff always wore headphones when they came, and it seemed like I had to repeat things several times for them to hear me. When we left, they left a rag on our table, and I wasn't sure what it was for. I hope they can pay more attention next time.

Fantastic 5.0
During my recent stay at the Maison de Chine Hotel Chiayi, in a Classic Twin Room, I found that despite the room type not having an external window, I didn't feel particularly confined. The room layout was very well-planned, offering spacious and comfortable accommodations. The two single beds were spaced appropriately, allowing for easy organization and movement even with a lot of luggage, making it very convenient for both leisure and business travelers. The completeness of the in-room amenities was impressive. In addition to a bathtub, perfect for relaxing after a day of activities, there was also a capsule coffee machine, allowing coffee lovers to enjoy a rich, aromatic hot drink at any time. The hotel also demonstrated a commitment to environmental sustainability, providing glass water bottles in the room that could be refilled at water dispensers in the hallway. What was particularly noteworthy was the presence of sparkling water machines on every floor, a thoughtful touch for guests who prefer sparkling water, showcasing the hotel's attention to detail in its services. While some public facilities and decor showed slight signs of age and weren't the most cutting-edge in design, the overall maintenance was excellent. The cleanliness of the environment and the functionality of the equipment were reassuring. Rather than striving for flashy newness, the hotel clearly focused on actual accommodation quality and a comfortable guest experience. Furthermore, one of the hotel's greatest advantages is its prime location. It's incredibly convenient for reaching Chiayi's downtown commercial district, local food hotspots, or taking an evening stroll to the night market, saving a significant amount of travel time. Overall, the Maison de Chine Hotel offers a comfortable space, comprehensive amenities, and an excellent location, striking a good balance between price and accommodation quality. It's a lodging option in Chiayi that is definitely worth revisiting.

After booking, we informed the hotel that a birthday celebrant would be staying that month. The front desk arranged for a 4-inch cake to be placed in the room's refrigerator, which was a pleasant surprise upon check-in. The gym, afternoon tea, and breakfast were all excellent; breakfast was much better than expected. A 4-star hotel certainly doesn't disappoint. We would love to stay here again on our next visit to Chiayi.

I've stayed here twice now, and both times have been great. The rooms are clean inside and out, and having the night market right next door is the best part. Plus, there's the amazing rice noodle soup across the street, and the dog at the dessert shop next door!
