Great 4.0
The RV camping area has gravel, and there are also wiggle cars for rent. You need to purchase a key first, which costs $100 per car, plus a $50 deposit, totaling $150. After use, lock the car back up and return the key, which is a bit inconvenient. The track has a slight incline, and with kids vigorously using them, some cars were damaged on the way back and discarded. We also ordered a BBQ set and asked the staff to defrost it in advance, but it was still frozen when we received it. The mattress was a bit hard, but the water bottle and amenities inside the RV were very good and clean.

Great 4.0
Facilities: The surrounding environment appears slightly cluttered, and more organization could be done in terms of cleanliness. The bathroom facilities are fully functional.
Experience: The night view is great, you can see a lot of stars. The heating pad inside the tent is very comfortable to use in winter. The meals are simple, but the amount of vegetables in the hot pot at night could be increased, or offered as an add-on for an extra charge. More choices for dipping sauces could be added. The service staff is friendly.

Fantastic 5.0
A great place to relax and get away from it all ❤️ The owner is also very kind. Even though I arrived late, she was paying attention to our arrival. I would just suggest arriving before the sun goes down 🛬 because the mountain road up there has no streetlights and is quite dangerous ⚠️

Taiwan High Speed Rail (HSR) is one of the most convenient and efficient ways to travel across Taiwan. The trains are modern, clean, and very comfortable, making long-distance travel fast and stress-free. What would normally take several hours by car or bus can be reduced to just about an hour or two with HSR, which is perfect for travelers exploring multiple cities.
The stations are well organized, and the boarding process is smooth and easy to follow. Trains are also very punctual, which makes planning your travel schedule much easier. Inside the train, the seats are spacious with enough legroom, and the ride itself is very smooth and quiet.
It’s also easy to purchase tickets through apps like Klook, which makes the process more convenient for tourists. Overall, Taiwan HSR is a great transportation option that combines speed, comfort, and reliability, making it one of the best ways to explore different parts of Taiwan efficiently

I had fun exploring Southern Taiwan with this 3 day pass. Very easy to use, it comes with a booklet that you'll get from the HSR counter. You can book your HSR in advance through the website, can even change your time of departure when you go to the counter. My accomodation is in Taipei and the day trips in Taichung and Tainan was just a breeze. HSR also provides free shuttle bus between HSR station to the main city, just research for the bus number. You have to go through the staff at the gates to pass through, they will inspect the booklet. I'll comeback to explore more of South Taiwan!

The car was new and smoke-free. The driver was very nice. We booked a ride to Leofoo Village, but our destination was Leofoo Resort Guanshi. The driver was thoughtful enough to take us to Leofoo Resort Guanshi. He drove very smoothly and his driving skills were excellent. A great driver.

Our driver arrived 15 minutes early. Our driver, 小楊 (Yang), always helped us get in and out of the car, which we really appreciated. I also forgot to include two locations in the Changhua itinerary I sent beforehand, but he accommodated them very well without any issue.
He even recommended a really delicious rou bao (肉包) near Lukang Longshan Temple—after tasting it, we ended up buying a whole box to eat at the hotel. Communication via LINE was smooth and easy. He also played great music during the drive; I honestly wish I knew his playlist.
We had a very pleasant and comfortable drive to and from Lukang. Highly recommended.

The driver was on time, courteous, and polite! Since public transportation isn't great in Chiayi, I tried a chartered car for the first time to explore. The entire trip was comfortable and convenient. I'm so glad I booked a car for my Korean family's visit to Taiwan! 🫶🏻
