Online ticket purchasing is convenient, and more importantly, it's cheaper than buying on-site, plus you save on parking fees. Every time I visit Dongyanshan, I buy my tickets directly through Klook. You select your date after purchase, and the tickets are valid for a year, so there's no need to worry about sudden rain forcing a reschedule and making your tickets unusable. It's incredibly convenient.

There’s not a lot, if you compare to other theme parks, but it was good for us. My 2 young kids who are about 2 & 4 years old had fun. The 2 year old wasn’t tall enough but she had a good time with the merry go round, ferris wheel, and theatre show. There is a train that takes you to the park area, once you’ve explored mini Taiwan and China. The klook tickets were really good since it was a flash sale for 47% off. There’s a stroller rental at the front, really lightweight options, so I would only recommend for infant age 0-2yrs.

Good combo ticket for Xpark and Chiao-hu. I would recommend figuring out if you want to catch a show at Xpark and timing things, because their live shows are every 2 hrs, and kids won’t be able to wait around. Since both venues you can get a stamp for re-entry, it’s worthwhile to plan around food and playtime.

Book with Klook for convenience: Bring the kids to Souvenir Kiri Hidden Castle for a day as ninjas! 🎴
As soon as we entered, we were impressed by the super-sized samurai helmet, as well as the countless torii gates and lantern-lined streets. Every corner was incredibly photogenic! The kids excitedly searched for ninjas along the way, completely immersed in the atmosphere of this Edo-era castle town, and even the adults had a blast. ✨
Besides taking tons of photos, the transparent snack factory in the park also captivated the children. And of course, we ended the day perfectly with our favorite Japanese desserts and afternoon tea 🍡. Seeing both kids happy and well-fed, this outing gets a perfect score! Our family memories, just like our stomachs, were full. 🥰

Lala Mountain is a great place to escape the summer heat in Taoyuan. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the park's giant cypress forest, where the gentle slopes of the trails make for an easy walk. As you hike, breathe in the phytoncides from the mountain, cleansing your mind and body, and experience the beauty of the magnificent natural surroundings! The park also features plants such as green maple, red maple, and beech, forming a highly representative forest ecosystem in the mid-altitude mountains of northern Taiwan. Every November and December, the green leaves turn from yellow to red, creating a uniquely romantic and poetic scene. The park is also an important habitat for wildlife such as the Taiwan blue magpie, yellow-bellied fantail, and Formosan serow.

The environment inside the museum is clean and comfortable, and the guided tours and interactive facilities are thoughtfully planned. The DIY classes and chocolate tasting are especially popular. Children aged 6-12 usually have a great time, and it's suitable for couples as a half-day date activity. If you're expecting facilities on par with a large theme park, you might find the content a bit limited, but for a tourist factory, it's very well-executed.

The tickets were very easy to use, and the price was great. The overall quality of the environment was excellent, and the kids had a lot of fun. They even got to make their own colored pens, which was a fun activity. The DIY activities looked fantastic. It's definitely worth coming back again!

It's a pineapple cake that you just mix, put in a mold, and bake. However, even mixing it required a bit of skill, and I enjoyed figuring out how to make it look nice when putting it into the mold. I also enjoyed talking with people from the same country.
