Kaohsiung Day trips

Our guide, Alisia, was excellent, providing a soft-spoken and friendly tour. She guided us in both Chinese and English, with 14 years of experience and a calm demeanor. She even sang for us, creating a wonderful atmosphere. We visited on a Sunday by bus and learned that the Hinoki (cypress) trees are truly massive, and Alishan is an incredibly vast mountain. Since it's an all-day journey, we recommend bringing snacks. Of course, there are food stalls available along the way.

If you're going to Kaohsiung, it's worth experiencing at least once, but the long travel distance is a drawback. It seems like it would be better to depart an hour earlier, and you don't need a lot of time for the local tour, as the scenery is magnificent.

The tour was great and it had let us visit the top Kaohsiung City attractions. It’s just that the very warm weather is the challengegoing from one place to another. It was very humid in the city which made the tour kinda’ difficult for us tourists because it somehow spolied our excitement. Everyone is complaining on the hot weather but at the same time, we enjoyed taking pictires despite the hot weather. The warm weather was extreme especially during noontime till 4-5pm in the afternoon. There’s not much to see in the Arts Museum. The one that delighted us is the nearby train station. The pier has a lot of people too despite the extreme hot weather, which was our last stop of the day. The Tiger Dragon pagoda was one of the best, same with the Moon Landscape Park and the Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum too! This tour is highly recommended especially for those who are first-time visitors in Kaohsiung.

Had a excellent time on this tour. I wanted to learn and experience things other than the glitz and glamour of usual tours and I got exactly that. It is explained that we are not going to an actual person's home but instead, one that is rented by the company as to not disturb and invade on someone's home which I find is morally the correct way to do it. Our guide Alice was extremely informative and engaging. I would highly recommend going on this tour to see the other side to the good.

The Alishan trip was absolutely fantastic! 🌟👏 The "Sacred Trees" of Alishan are truly awe-inspiring, having stood for thousands of years. These towering "Sacred Trees" stand silently in the primeval forest, some of these giant red cypress trees are over 2,000 years old, earning them the title of "living history textbooks." We felt as if we had stepped into another world, like a fairyland. We're so grateful to our tour guide, Kai Ge. He was kind and patient, possessing extensive professional knowledge about Alishan's culture, history, flora, and fauna. Along the way, he introduced us to attractions, told historical stories, and helped everyone take photos, adding so much enjoyment to the entire trip. Although it rained heavily and was very foggy, Kai Ge drove very steadily, making us feel safe and secure. He looked after everyone like a big brother from next door, and he worked incredibly hard. Thank you, Kai Ge; it's rare to meet such a dedicated and professional guide. Our Taiwan trip concluded perfectly, and everything was worth it! 👍👍👍

great experience with our tour guide "KIWI" for the second time. would recommend this tour for everyone specially with filipinos like us. ty for the photo too KIWI

It's really worth the while to join this tour as we covered all the important locations in Kaohsiung. Our guide, Woody, was kind enough to take our photos and let us discover each place at our own pace with ample time to cover all areas in the itinerary. The ride was also comfortable. Definitely enjoyable but not in a hurried manner.

The stairs leading up to Moon World are under construction, so you can only go part of the way. It seems to be lit up at night, so I think it would be even more impressive if you came then. Afterward, the tour takes you to the Folk Culture Village and Qishan Old Street, and finally drops you off in Kaohsiung's Bay Area. This was a great tour because it covered a route I couldn't have done on my own. Our guide arranged a Lei Cha (pounded tea) experience for us at the Folk Culture Village, which was a wonderful experience. In the Bay Area, they also showed us where SunnyHills is located. The guide provides a lot of information, but while walking, it's more of a self-guided experience, so I think it's more enjoyable if you do some research beforehand.

It was a full and enriching day tour. The guide/driver arrived on time at the pick-up location and drove very safely and steadily. The Harry Potter exhibition hall in the Ten Drum Cultural Park was excellent, and the approximately 40-minute drum performance is not to be missed. Luckily, the weather was great that day, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful sunset over the salt fields. The last stop was Dadong Night Market, where everyone could eat their fill before heading back.
