It’s a beautiful place worth visiting. There is no parking fee and it’s much more cost-effective than buying on site. I will still use Klook next time I come here.

Using this, we can quickly and easily enter the Pacific Heart National Forest Recreation Area. No more waiting in line or the hassle of buying on the spot. Give your phone to the security guard at the entrance 👍

It was my first time to come to Victoria Peak. The trampoline was really fun, but unfortunately more than half of it was destroyed by the typhoon... If you buy more tickets here, you can park for free, which is really a good deal!

Students can get half the ticket! It was my first time to come to Victoria Peak. The trampoline was really fun, but unfortunately more than half of it was destroyed by the typhoon... If you buy more tickets here, you can park for free, which is really a good deal!

The scenery of Taiping Mountain is beautiful, and the weather that day was also very good. It can be seen that the park is carefully maintained, and there are not too many people. 10 points worth visiting

Taiping Mountain is worth a visit, but the schedule is quite tight and there are many places that you can’t enjoy to the fullest, especially the hot springs. You can only soak in them for 30 minutes. The only drawback is that you don’t get to eat the hot spring corns.

The tickets are very convenient to use, and you can park for free, and there is no extra charge for use on holidays. It was almost a year after I bought it before I got around to it, and the tickets are still in use. Unfortunately, due to the typhoon, the tram could only run one kilometer round trip.

The Taipingshan Trail has beautiful scenery, and I was lucky enough to see the sea of clouds while walking on the trail. It’s a bit wet and cold on the top of the mountain in winter, but it’s still worth going. The driver Mr. Du's driving is reassuring.
