The fresh milk products in the park are all delicious, and the park itself is quite clean. There are many honesty shops selling hay, which makes it very convenient to buy and feed the animals at any time. The park isn't very large, so I recommend visiting in the afternoon as there isn't much shade and it can get quite sunny. The animals are all well-cared for and look plump and healthy!

I specifically took the train to Taitung, but then arranged to drive around Taitung, and by the time I arrived in Chishang, I was questioning my decision! However, I'm so glad I included this experience; it was incredibly beautiful, fun, and a relaxing way to enjoy the scenery ❤️ You absolutely must visit Chishang! Highly, highly recommended. Being so close to both the Central Mountain Range and the Coastal Mountain Range was truly wonderful 👍

Ah Shan Ge is really great at getting everyone excited! All in all, this Blue Cave exploration + cliff jumping tour was absolutely worth it for just a few hundred dollars 💖 As soon as we got into the water, we saw the King Cobra; the sea was incredibly beautiful. When we were cliff jumping, Ah Shan Ge patiently waited, guided us, and took videos and photos. Priceless memories 👍🤍 BTW, you really have to listen to the coach... Before we set off, Ah Shan Ge asked me, "Are you sure you want to ride your own scooter?" I nodded repeatedly. But when we got to the mountain road, I lost my balance and the scooter fell... so I had to get a ride with the other lady on the tour. You really do have to listen to instructions to avoid mistakes!

The park is quite spacious, and it's very pleasant to walk around! It's perfect for escaping the heat in the afternoon. This time, I brought my parents to Taitung, and this was one of our stops. 💙 I saw many positive reviews, and I really recommend buying tickets directly on Klook (a full-price ticket is $100 at the gate, but it's $20 cheaper here!). Once you enter the park, just show the QR code to the staff for scanning.

Brother Lobster's night tour was incredibly interesting. First, he showed us a Patrick Star (a real starfish) and explained its biological characteristics. Then, he led our large group to stargaze; the Milky Way was beautiful, and the stars and constellations became super easy to identify with Brother Lobster's flashlight. Along the way, we also saw a 'devil flower' (also known as Barringtonia asiatica), which displayed vibrant colors and different appearances when illuminated by the flashlight at night. Later, on the way to Wugui Cave, we encountered a land crab heading back up the mountain. Brother Lobster took the opportunity to explain its reproductive characteristics and ecological conservation (apparently, thousands are run over on the roads each year). Finally, he explained the origin of Wugui Cave. It was a very meaningful and enjoyable tour.

The communication a day before the tour was great. Klook rep contacted via whatsapp and Guide 陈先生 followed up with the contact. Guide was early and explained the itinerary before our set off, it ended up as a private tour was there wasn’t anyone else. 陈 took us on a relaxed and chilled ride, introducing us to the scenic spots and the way of life in taitung. Much appreciate his sharing and knowledge! Recommend! Great flexibility and comfortable tour.

It was great! I found this outdoor hot spring online while looking for information about hot springs. The pools are quite large, and although there aren't many types, it's very comfortable. There's also a restaurant inside, but we didn't eat there this time because it was fully booked.

What to know before visiting Taitung
Quick snapshot of Taitung County and its draw
Taitung County is a laid-back coastal and countryside destination where Parks & gardens, outdoor and sports activities, and water activities lead bookings. Demand rises and falls through the year, with clear busy periods in late summer and much quieter months in early spring.
Best times to visit depending on what you want
Klook booking data shows demand peaks in September and bottoms out in March. Prices trend differently across the calendar: they climb into late summer and early autumn (notably higher around September) but hit their lowest levels in January according to Klook’s past bookings. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider travelling in March or January when demand and prices are both gentler; for peak-season atmosphere aim for September when demand is highest and prices are noticeably higher. Overall, demand and prices mostly move together around the peak months, so busier times tend to be costlier on Klook.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most experiences in Taitung County can be booked at short notice—Klook’s booking patterns show travellers typically confirm about a day out, though some book earlier. If you plan to visit in the September peak, consider locking in popular outdoor or water activities sooner rather than later; for off-peak trips you can be more flexible. Use Klook to compare available parks, outdoor adventures and water activities and reserve what suits your dates.
