It was a full and enriching day tour. The guide/driver arrived on time at the pick-up location and drove very safely and steadily. The Harry Potter exhibition hall in the Ten Drum Cultural Park was excellent, and the approximately 40-minute drum performance is not to be missed. Luckily, the weather was great that day, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful sunset over the salt fields. The last stop was Dadong Night Market, where everyone could eat their fill before heading back.

We had a great morning with Annie and would definitely recommend. This was a great way to explore the city and try some local food favorites. There were only two of us on the tour, which was also great. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took great care to make sure we were getting the most out of the experience. Thank you

Boat tours, sandbar landings, and oyster grilling are activities suitable for both adults and children. Please remember to dress warmly, as the sea breeze can be strong after heading out in winter. The staff are all very friendly and hospitable; they frequently check on the fire's intensity, add charcoal, and patiently teach oyster shucking techniques. We found that a hotter fire makes the shells open more easily. The tour guides are humorous and knowledgeable, and we learned a lot of related information during the trip. The sandbar is gradually eroding due to various factors; many of the boardwalks were damaged and inaccessible during our visit. It's possible that landing may be completely prohibited in the future, so if you're interested, please visit soon!

First time riding, I called to make a reservation before placing the order. I booked the 5:00 PM session. The voyage was very enjoyable. As someone who is easily carsick and seasick, I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The tour guide was also very charismatic and explained the voyage to us with their own personal style. If you come to Anping, you must include this in your itinerary. It will let you go home with lots of memories.

This was an incredibly value-for-money experience! We arrived at 11:30 AM, and the owner's wife warmly welcomed us with grilled oysters. It was also very convenient that we could order other food for delivery. The owner took the children to see eel fry, which was a unique ecological learning experience. At 1:00 PM, we boarded the boat, and along the way, the guide and the captain shared new knowledge and local life experiences in a lively, engaging manner. We then went to an island to walk along the shore and take beautiful photos. The owner even gave us an extra treat by taking us to see the oyster farms, which truly broadened our horizons. It was incredibly generous of them to let us continue grilling oysters on the way back. Thank you to the owner for putting so much effort into giving us such a wonderful itinerary. I wholeheartedly recommend it!
