Things to do in Xitou Monster Village

Buying tickets on Klook is the same price as buying them on-site, but at least you don't have to wait in line to buy tickets. It's super convenient to just go to the entrance and have the staff scan the QR code voucher to enter the park!

Klook ticket prices are the same as buying them on-site, but at least you don't have to queue to buy tickets. It's super convenient to just find staff at the entrance and scan the QR code voucher! It also comes with a free 4-pack of Yoshan Tea Culture tea bags, but you have to make a special trip to the Yoshan Tea Culture Museum to redeem them, instead of receiving them upon entry.

If you're staying at a hotel near Xitou, you should be able to purchase discounted tickets from the hotel. But buying a tour on KLOOK and taking a detour to the Culture Center before getting on the interchange to see the tea-making process, sample some tea, and get a small gift is also a good option.

The Xitou Forest is very tranquil, you can walk around and absorb phytoncides. The ticket price is the same as buying it on the spot, but you also get a tea bag and can visit the tea house.

The whole day's itinerary went very smoothly, thanks to Mr. Chen, our driver and guide, who arranged a perfect itinerary for us. We received a lot of care during the trip, and he also introduced us to many other famous attractions in Taichung. Highly recommended, and we will definitely come again if we have the chance.

For the price, the tour is quite a good value. The tour guide was good. The only downside is that the driver may have been speeding and overtaking a lot along the way to keep to the schedule. I don't know if it was the rugged mountain road or the speeding that made me feel carsick and nauseous the whole time. I ended up throwing up once during the trip. But the other ladies on the tour didn't seem to be affected. The Forgettable Forest is beautiful and photogenic. However, it's not suitable for elderly people to walk there! Monster Village is basically a shopping trip! The ball-shaped shrubs in Shanlinxi weren't as beautiful as I imagined.

Walking along the forest trails in Xitou is incredibly refreshing. You're surrounded by towering cedar trees and lush green bamboo forests, and the air is so clean you can't help but take deep breaths. As you stroll, listening to the birds singing, you feel completely relaxed, as if you've temporarily escaped the hustle and bustle of the city. It instantly puts you in a great mood, and you can capture a lot of beautiful photos. However, some trails are temporarily closed due to previous typhoon damage, which is a bit of a shame. Hopefully, they'll be reopened by my next visit. Also, the Klook package includes free tea bags from You Shan Cha Fang, which is a nice perk. The staff there are very friendly, and you even get a complimentary cup of freshly brewed tea. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Enjoy the phytoncides of nature, beautiful scenery, and clear skies with this package deal. Complimentary tea bag from Yu Shan Tea is included. Guided tour by service personnel. A truly great value experience.
