Nantou Day trips

Hi. I would recommend our driver Andy! He is well versed in different languages. He tried to have small conversations with us and even explain to us the history about each venue. The car is comfortable and he really knows which playlist to choose to play in the car to keep away the awkwardness with other passengers around. Thumbs up!!

Great value for money tour and transport to the sun moon lake and qingjing farm. tour guide Mr. Yang was effecient and gave us relevant information about the tour. he even took many photographs for us and sent it to us 👍🏻👍🏻

What a great experience, enjoyed every minute of this fab tour and all thanks to our fabulous tour guide. the journey was quite long but well worth it and the highlight was cycling around the lake with the group. highly recommended.

Highly recommended for Koreans!!!!!! The Korean-language tour wasn't available on the date I wanted, so I ended up choosing this tour instead, and it was such a great choice!!! First of all, it was so nice that they picked us up directly from our hotel instead of having us gather at a meeting point haha. The tour was held privately with just 6 people in total—me, my mom (2 people), and a Chinese family of 4. The car was super spacious and air-conditioned, which was great! The driver couldn't speak Korean, but he explained everything well using a translator and some English haha. What truly touched me was that I had lost my wallet at the night market the day before T.T. When the driver heard about that, he said that after the tour ended, he would go with me to the night market to ask the vendors, kept calling the police station in between to check if any lost items had been turned in, and even offered to go with me to the police station to help file a report after the tour. We didn't end up going because we figured we wouldn't find it even if we went to the night market T.T., but he kept trying to help us, which really touched both me and my mom haha. Also, the Chinese family traveling with us translated between the driver and us in English and even bought us drinks lol. They were worried about my lost wallet together with us! Anyway, I had a total mental breakdown the day before after losing my wallet, all my exchanged cash, and several cards, but during the tour, my mind actually eased up, and I met good people and had a wonderful tour!!! I didn't know ferry tickets were included, but they were! The price is also reasonable, so Korean folks planning to visit Sun Moon Lake and Gaomei Wetlands, please use this tour!!!!! The itinerary proceeded as follows: a huge temple at Sun Moon Lake ➡️ Sun Moon Lake Visitor Center? (cool and good for a short rest) ➡️ Sun Moon Lake ferry (basic 3-stop course) ➡️ pineapple cake shop (no purchase required, has a restroom) ➡️ Gaomei Wetlands, and they dropped us off right in front of our hotel at the end haha. Oh, and you can use WhatsApp for communication before the tour~~

Very thoughtful. We received photos of the meeting place and the vehicle the day before, which gave us peace of mind to arrive early at the designated spot and wait. Along the way, we stopped at several classic locations for restroom breaks, stargazing, and altitude acclimatization to prevent altitude sickness, with each stop lasting about 10 minutes. The starry sky was breathtaking, and the Milky Way was visible. It would have been even better if we could have stayed a bit longer at one of the stops to take photos and enjoy the view. By the way, while enjoying the scenery, I would prefer the driver not smoke nearby, as we only wanted to breathe in the fresh air in the mountains. However, the driver knew very well which spots offered the best views. The sunrise viewing location was in an unexpected spot that probably only the driver knew about. There were only two vans' worth of people watching the sunrise there, so we didn't have to deal with crowds. It was simply wonderful!

we had a nice trip with stay at Alishan Gou hotel. fetch from our hotel to Alishan train station. train uphill is a 3 hours ride. toilet on the train is rather rocky, is a fun experience though. the hotel is good just that hot water service for bathing is from 5pm to 11 pm only. hot and cold water dispenser available at hotel lobby. this hotel is good cos just outside the hotel is the giant trees trial. our lady tour guide at giant tree trial is v caring, knowledgeable and intro us to a lot of plants. shuttle service to hotel is every half an hour. morning sunrise need to take another train to 祝山。train station is just outside hotel convenience. downhill to 奋起湖 by minivan. bento is ok, but must try the mini donut there. Our tour guide downhill very considerate, caring and good driver. Hinoki village has some great photos. thank you to all our 3 tour guides driver to the station, at giant forest trail and downhill. would recommend this half free and easy trip to everyone visiting Alishan

Our guide/driver 范先生 (Mr Fan) was amazing. He planned the trip very smoothly. It was very enjoyable to experience sun moon lake in different situations/activities. He even offered to drop us off at different locations that were on the way back to the city. His service is 5⭐️ our only regret is not leaving him a little gift to show how much we appreciate his work.

Today, we completed all the scheduled attractions on our itinerary. This time, we also purchased an additional Sun Moon Lake boat tour ticket (Shuishe/Xuanguang Temple/Yidashao), with each pier stop lasting about 10 minutes, plus a cable car ticket (the add-on package price was NT$620 per person). Due to limited time, we didn't use the one-day lake shuttle bus pass this trip, nor did we visit Xiangshan, but I still highly recommend this one-day itinerary.

We had a wonderful day trip from Taipei to Sun Moon Lake! 🌊 The journey was around 3 hours each way, so it was a long day, but the breathtaking scenery made it absolutely worthwhile. The lake was extremely beautiful, with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. A special thank you to our tour guide, Tommy, who was so friendly, helpful and welcoming throughout the trip. He made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Although the travel time was quite long, Sun Moon Lake is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommend this day trip to anyone visiting Taiwan! ❤️
