New Taipei

As a Taiwanese person, this is a place you must visit once in your lifetime! This Jade Mountain trip was not just a climb, but more like a spiritual baptism. Many thanks to the three guides from Mountain Secret Realm – they were not only professional navigators leading us up the mountain, but also the warmest companions on this journey. From the early morning departure at Paiyun Lodge to finally stepping onto the stone steps of the main peak, every step had their careful reminders and encouragement. In the difficult sections, they patiently guided our pace and took care of the weaker members, ensuring everyone could safely and confidently reach the summit. The professional arrangements, the guides' experience, and their warm personalities made the entire journey safe, smooth, and full of emotion. Standing on the main peak watching the sunrise, I only had one thought: thank you to this mountain for allowing me to recognize my own insignificance and resilience. And thank you to these guides for allowing me to see the warmest of hearts at an altitude of nearly 4,000 meters. Tour Guide: 5/5 Itinerary: 5/5 Scenery: 5/5 Hiking Difficulty: 3/5

The guide was professional and enthusiastically shared hiking experiences and tips, especially regarding the risks of high-altitude mountain climbing, which were explained to us in detail. The pace was adjusted according to the overall condition of the team, and the guide was very principled, which made us feel at ease. I hope to have the opportunity to climb other high mountains together in the future.

Our guide this time was Wu Xin-Yue (Qiang Qiang), a very enthusiastic person with great driving skills and a gentle demeanor. The accommodations weren't super luxurious, but they were adequate. Overall, the value for the price was pretty good. The itinerary to Smangus and Xinxing was well-paced, not too rushed. We encountered lots of dogs and cats along the way. This trip is suitable for those who want to experience something new, love cats and dogs, but aren't too concerned about the quality of the accommodations!

I did the Laomei one instead since I was the only one signed up for this tour. Louis was very kind and informative. I felt very safe the whole time. Best day ever! Only thing would be to make sure you arrange transportation. I was able to take MRT and bus to meet up point, but there were no buses to take me back to MRT. I bummed a ride off of the others on the tour who drove themselves there.

My experience at Green Field Ranch was incredibly satisfying. From check-in to actually getting on the horse, the instructors provided detailed explanations in a professional and meticulous manner, allowing me, as a first-timer in equestrianism, to quickly get the hang of it and feel comfortable. The entire ranch environment was clean and tidy, surrounded by lush greenery and fresh air, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The horses were in great condition, with gentle temperaments, and were clearly very well cared for. The seaside riding excursion was especially unforgettable, riding alongside the horse while enjoying the sea breeze, with beautiful scenery and a perfect experience. I was also able to capture many beautiful photos during the process. It was truly a high-quality experience that I highly recommend!

The itinerary was well-organized and timing was just right at each stop. The driver/guide was friendly, and transportation was comfortable. A perfect mix of nature, culture, and food. Highly recommended for first-time visitors who want to see Taiwan’s iconic spots in one day!

riding the log train is a nice experience. not too expensive as well. 4-5 mins ride that will easily bring you to and from the wulai falls. manage expectations, as the cabs are a bit older.

this toyr is really amazing - a big shout out to our tour guide that is very funny and explains the history of the places that we’ve visited. Thank you so much, Joseph! Recommending this tour for the other tourist that will be visting Taiwan!!

It was unfortunate that it was raining so hard. Once the rain stopped, the cable car was in operation. Even though it is steep, I can assure you the ride is very safe. The ticket purchase is a round trip. Seniors and kids would actually enjoy the accessibility. I was impressed to see that even the garbage from the mountains was brought down to make sure it was disposed of properly and not to pollute the mountainside.
