Things to do in Taichung

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.

We had a fantastic and enjoyable day on July 20th, led by our driver and tour guide, A-Ping. She promptly added my contact information and noted our pick-up and drop-off times and locations, which was incredibly helpful for someone visiting Taiwan for the first time! The entire day's itinerary included departing from near Taichung Station, then visiting Cingjing Farm, checking out The Old England Manor, and finally, Sun Moon Lake with a boat tour. Her management of time, the journey itself, and the comfort of the ride were all top-notch, earning a huge thumbs up! This experience further deepened my appreciation for Taiwanese people, especially listening to the stand-up comedy at Cingjing Farm – it felt like being at a live recording of 'Kangxi Coming,' so many great jokes! Even as we reluctantly got back in the car to head to the next spot, Sister A-Ping's witty remarks kept coming, instantly intensifying my desire to live in Taiwan. Magically, I even drew a 'Great Fortune' lot at Xuanguang Temple at Sun Moon Lake, and I hope everything goes smoothly in the future! Thanks again to Sister A-Ping for leading us; I loved every place we visited!

價格：we went that when sunset, view is good with nice price. klook is the best

The staff is very friendly. There were very few people visiting two days before Lunar New Year's Eve (Saturday), so we could enjoy ourselves to the fullest! We happened to catch a Klook buy-one-get-one-free ticket deal, which was super cost-effective! Children above elementary school age can be left to play on their own, and there are parent seating areas outside each zone. Parents of elementary school-aged children don't need to waste money buying companion tickets. There is also a small outdoor children's playground in the plaza on the first floor, where you can purchase a voucher for six amusement facilities. The original price is NT$300, but the add-on price is only NT$240. Convenience of booking with Klook: High. You can buy and redeem it for immediate use on-site, which is more cost-effective than buying tickets on-site! Facilities: Many Experience: Great. The kids played from 1:40 PM until almost 6:00 PM in the evening before leaving.

A great place to visit when hiking Baxianshan! The restrooms are very clean, and the roads are well-planned! There are also easy-to-walk trails! You can also enjoy afternoon tea and visit the scenic area! The ticket price, which includes parking, is a great value!

The QR code entry was very convenient, but unfortunately the weather wasn't great that day. It was very foggy, so we couldn't see the beautiful scenery or the animals. There weren't even any birds. I usually see a lot of animals and insects when I hike other mountains.

This is a great place for edutainment, worth exploring again and again. The museum is divided into many different themed areas, and the exhibits in each theme hall are wonderfully and thoughtfully presented. However, some theme halls are not suitable for very young children, leading to constant crying and making it difficult to fully appreciate the exhibits, which is quite a shame. Some areas, such as the Life Sciences Hall, contain mummies and anthropomorphic sarcophagi, which can easily affect young children who are more sensitive. Parents are advised to think carefully and perhaps avoid this section, returning when their children are older and can better understand the exhibits. We suggest that the museum consider dividing visitors by age for different sections. It would also be beneficial to set up a play area, providing a temporary resting spot for children and parents. This is a museum worth revisiting and savoring.

The tightrope walk at the beginning was very tense to watch, and the performer even fell in the middle, but thankfully managed to hold on. Although there were mats underneath, I'm not sure if it was a budget issue, but they only covered about two-thirds of the length. The entire performance was very entertaining. Photography and videography were not allowed during the show, but afterward, you could take free photos with the performers and horses, with optional tips. Aside from the clown act, where you had to cheer along, which was a bit boring, the overall experience was worth the ticket price ($380). It's even more worthwhile to buy the couple's package here. On weekdays, there are actually very few tourists, so there's no need to pay more than $380, as seats at that price are already quite close to the front. However, some of the chairs were broken and uncomfortable, suggesting a lack of funds for repairs. The troupe members were very enthusiastic, greeting us with bright smiles when we went for photos. Even though we didn't tip much, their professionalism and friendliness left a deep impression on me.

Thanks to Else for enthusiastically taking photos for us and guiding us through the tour. It's been a long time since I've met such a passionate staff member. They helped us have a wonderful afternoon, and now we have many photos and videos to look back on. We purchased tickets on Klook; upon arrival, simply show the QR code to be scanned at the counter, and they will arrange your entry time. There are quite a few exhibits; about half are two-dimensional works, a quarter are interactive installations, and a quarter are walk-through scenes. I highly recommend this activity for a summer afternoon; it's suitable for all ages.
