The combination of the multigrain area and the sugar factory is nostalgic and fun. The percussion band performance is like watching a concert, which young people should like very much. The factory area itself is also suitable for children to run around, and there is also an indoor children's play area, making it a good place to let children have fun. The wind on the top of Qigu Salt Mountain is very strong, and the wind blows the hair into a mess, and the children scream and go crazy. Jingzaijiao Salt Mountain is very beautiful, with an experience area where children can organize their own small salt mountains and play until they are glued and can't be pulled away. Dadong Night Market is very easy to stroll around. The crowds on weekdays are just right and not crowded, and the food is also okay. There are also many night market games for you to play non-stop, so be sure to keep your wallet tight. Finally, the tour guide arranged the itinerary very smoothly, and the timing was also very good. It was a good itinerary and is highly recommended!

Great and easy way to explore the Tainan area but you have to prepare extra money since entrance fees aren’t included. We ended up paying about 540NTD each in entrance fees for all the places we went to.

Henry, our tour guide and driver for the day was fantastic and highly knowledgeable. He was proficient in Mandarin and English, and expertly guided us to each stop and advised us the best things to see and do, and things we could do on our own afterwards. This tour was particularly valued as it went beyond the usual tourist-focused bus routes in Tainan, to see spots I hadn't seen talked about in English-language tourism blogs. In particular, the final stop of the Lao Tang Lake Art Village (老塘湖藝術村) was stunning, and a fantastic way to finish the day.

Small group, oh! The overall experience was very smooth. The driver, Charlie, sincerely treated this trip and, although the arrangements followed the process, he took care of everyone's feelings. He always explained and introduced the plot on the way before experiencing it in person, which made for a great experience. In short, it was a wonderful journey!

I enjoy car camping trips, and whenever I go to a place, I always like to soak in the local hot springs. I've soaked in many hot springs in Guanziling, but last week I accidentally discovered the five-star hot spring environment at Hushan Hot Spring. It was the first time in Taiwan that I've experienced such a high-quality public hot spring bath. The space is large, the environment is elegant, and I also tried bedrock bathing for the first time, which was really great.
