Mr. Ken was such a great guide! He was kind, friendly, and had a great sense of humor, which made our Yangmingshan & Beitou day trip so enjoyable and memorable. We even happened to see him again in Jiufen the next day, taking another group on a tour. He’s truly hardworking! Thank you, Ken, for making our trip extra special. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a great time on my solo-joiner tour today! Sir Trix was very enthusiastic and fun, so there was never a dull moment. He made sure everyone was enjoying the trip and having the best experience possible. We visited Yehliu, Jiufen, Shifen, and Golden Waterfall, and honestly, I think joining a tour was so much better than doing it DIY. Commuting between these places can take up so much time, and it’s easy to get lost or make mistakes along the way. What I really appreciated was how informative Sir Trix was. He shared interesting facts and stories about each place even before we arrived, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely 100/10! Thank you, Sir Trix, for making our trip so memorable. Highly recommended! ❤️

One of our group day-tours got cancelled, but we were still able to go to Taipei 101 since we reserved tickets. This was one the highlights of our trip to Taiwan. The tower itself is more beautiful and magnificent in person. Even looking up at it from the street was such a sight to see. YouTube videos and postcards do not do it justice. We had access to the 89th Obseravatory Floor and it was worth it. We were able to get pictures prior to getting on the elevator. The 89th floor offered 360 degree views of Taipei and it was glorious. We were there around 5:45 to 6:45 pm and that was perfect for a golden sunset. The floor had a flux of photogenic backgrounds and props, some adorable cafes and treats, a souvenir shop, the Tuned Mass Dumper section, and the elevators to go up and down the tower. This was an unforgettable experience and easily topped some of my prior tower visits in the USA.

Spring City Resort This time, we used a Klook package that included one meal and a two-hour hot spring private room for 3,500 NTD. Upon arrival at the hotel entrance, a valet attendant will assist with parking, as guests are not permitted to drive down to the parking area themselves. It's good to be prepared to tip when leaving, to avoid an awkward moment with your wallet. Dinner was a fixed Japanese set menu with no other options available. Overall, it was decent. After eating, you can take a stroll around the area before returning to the hot springs. The pace of the itinerary felt quite relaxing. While the private hot spring room showed some signs of age and an older decor style, the room itself was spacious, and the bathing area was also roomy. The soundproofing of the main door was average, but since we visited on a weekday and there weren't many people, it wasn't a significant issue. What was rather perplexing was that shortly after we entered the room, a staff member knocked on the door and said our time was up. We were completely bewildered, thinking, "We just got in; did time fly by, or is our life being fast-forwarded?" The staff member later confirmed the mistake, apologized, and left, but this little incident was certainly a bit odd. Overall, although Spring City Resort's facilities and decor show their age, the service was generally acceptable, and the environment had a pleasant resort atmosphere. For 3,500 NTD for one meal and a two-hour private hot spring room, the value for money is still pretty good, making it a suitable place for a relaxing hot spring experience.

Visiting Beitou Water House for a private bathhouse session was one of the most relaxing highlights of our Taipei trip. We originally walked in intending to purchase our tickets on-site, but the front desk staff was incredibly honest and helpful, suggesting that we book via Klook instead since it may be cheaper. We booked it on our phones right at the lobby, and the entire 90-minute experience was simply the best. The warm white sulfur soak did wonders for our tired muscles, helping us fully recover after logging over 20,000 steps each day of our trip. Between the therapeutic mineral water, sleek ambiance, and exceptional customer service, we will definitely be returning on our next visit to Taipei.

The studio was very easy to find, and the whole experience was well-organized. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, even for someone doing ring-making for the first time. The staff also made the process feel comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience, and I’m really happy with the ring I made!

the tour is very informative and entertaining! our tour guide is a cheerful lady who is also passionate and talkative. She gave an delightful presentation about the history of the brewery, along with Taiwan’s industrial history. The tour ends with a unforgettable experience of extracting beers as much as we want directly from the tanks, which tasted so fresh that nothing in the market can compare with. I highly recommend this tour to everyone who loves beer and happy drinks! Hoo-Tah-Lah!

August 23, 2026 (Sunday) Two years ago, when we visited, it was a sunny day. Today, the weather was very cool, with a light drizzle. However, because of the rain, the roller coaster was temporarily closed, which was a shame because we didn't get to ride it. We rode the Jungle Roar Treehouse (free fall), the pirate ship, the spinning teacups, the Galaxy Express (monorail), the Ferris wheel, the Happy Bumper Cars, and the Space Gyro. It was truly worth the price of admission! My most memorable experience was riding the pirate ship; it was actually very comfortable, and my daughter and I rode it twice. My son was glued to the sandbox and spent an hour and a half there. 😅 We didn't leave until it got dark (6:30 PM), and it was hard to say goodbye.

Good place to spend a whole day. start from the top and work your way down. the collection is ordered from earliest period on the top floor, and later pieces on lower floors. public transport to get there is easy and cheaper then the sight seeing bus. there are so many pieces there you might want to come another day to see the rest. Do eat before coming here as there is only a small cafe that is constantly crowded. Besides their most popular pieces that people seem to like to view, you will find other pieces you will like I found the gate cups to be the ones I prefer over the popular pieces.
