The DIY location is one of the few remaining kilns in the Dashu area. Due to decreased demand, the old kiln factory transitioned into a tourist attraction. The shop thoughtfully packages all the DIY materials into a single kit. Before you start, they demonstrate the steps, provide helpful tips, and teach you how to make your creation look its best, which is very considerate. If you follow the steps, your finished product won't differ much from the display models. The entire process takes about two hours, and the time flies by when you're focused. I really enjoyed the red brick DIY here. If you're visiting Kaohsiung or Pingtung, consider spending a morning here to get hands-on.

Joining the trip from Taitung was a great choice for a relaxing holiday. We visited several iconic spots in the valley with breathtaking views of the rice fields and mountains. The guide was very friendly and introduced us to some amazing local delicacies. The van was comfortable, making the whole journey stress-free and enjoyable. Perfect for anyone looking to enjoy Taitung's scenery without the hassle of planning!

Highly recommend this museum for just about anyone. Great price for adults and free for seniors (65+) and elementary school kids. There are six floors of interactive exhibits for all ages AND virtually all of them are also in English. The IMAX film (~17 minutes) was also great! I went on a Tuesday with half of the elementary schools in the city so just a heads up as there were kids everywhere (loud and running around). Eat before or after as not many options and not good. Could easily spend all day there. Water refills stations and bathrooms throughout and exhibits were well done.

There's currently a special offer: one adult and one child for $399. The park is quite large, so it's a good idea to plan your visit in advance. If you want to experience close-up interactions, I recommend lining up for experience tickets right when the park opens at 10 AM, or for the second session at 1 PM. The weather in the mountains can be unpredictable, so if it's not a beautiful day, I suggest getting your experience tickets, then heading down to the sloped area to interact with the foxes before coming back up for the small animal feeding experience. This is because if the weather is bad, the foxes will be taken indoors to rest, and you won't be able to see them. You can also interact closely with the capybaras; watching them eat the fodder provided by the park is truly therapeutic. The park also offers exquisite dining options, and you can even enjoy your meal while watching the sloths in the restaurant—it's a real treat! The next stop requires a bit of a walk, and since it's downhill, it's easy, but be careful not to rush. The park's only birds currently are raptors—eagles. This time, we happened to witness an eagle 'bullying' another, haha! After hearing the explanation, it turns out it's because the eagles are from different breeding groups and have territorial instincts, which leads to gliding attacks. It made me worried the staff might get accidentally hurt! Finally, there's the slide, which the kids love most. Make sure to put on the safety gear provided by the park before playing happily. There's also delicious afternoon tea available for purchase nearby, so parents can enjoy snacks and refreshing drinks while watching their children play happily—it's quite nice! We returned with many happy memories. Since the previous section was downhill, the park thoughtfully provides a shuttle bus for the return trip, so your feet won't get tired and sore. Some areas of the park seem to still be under construction, so more animals should be moving in later. I'm really looking forward to it!

Buying tickets on KLOOK is cheaper and more cost-effective than at the venue, plus you get exclusive gifts. You can also accumulate membership points to unlock more services and discounts. E-DA World is child-friendly, and most of its facilities are indoors, so you don't have to worry about wind, sun, or rain. It's not crowded on weekdays. After playing, you can shop, dine, ride the Ferris wheel, and even stay overnight for an all-inclusive vacation. Highly recommended.

I was worried the amusement park would be closed due to the approaching typhoon, but when we came to Suzuka Circuit Park yesterday, the weather was great and there weren't many people, probably because it was a Thursday. Our whole family bought one-day passes, and we got to ride every attraction many times without long waits. It was truly worth the price! I ordered a 1+1 ticket package online through Klook for 980 NTD, and the second set was even more discounted, costing only 900 NTD after an 80 NTD reduction. That saved us a lot compared to buying tickets at the gate!

If you have the money, I highly recommend this experience. If you have two people, it’s much cheaper as well (it was just me though). I’ve done this in Taipei and at EuropaPark theme park in Germany so it was cool to see the history of this this experience originated. Staff are friendly and speak English. Recommend using Klook and must book at least one day in advance (earlier spots are less busy). It’s a little out there location wise but I eventually found it.
