Bought in the middle of last year. It was consumed twice in the middle. The time interval between the two consumptions was nearly 3 months, and it can still be used without error. You can buy it with peace of mind.

Taking advantage of my birthday this month, there are discounts for overseas purchases using credit cards online. Taking advantage of the New Year shopping, it’s just right to get gift certificates first!

There is a super giant dragon in the exhibition area that is very eye-catching. It is good for children. The interactive activities are also very good. The tyrannosaurus also gives children a good experience.

The high-speed rail combined ticket is convenient, the ticket is issued quickly, and it is also easy to refund the ticket. It would be nice if there were more choices for the accompanying travel activities, but the ones currently available are not bad! You can go to many places for shopping ✓

This is Group 9 on the 17th Yesji Night Tour with Guide Yeongsim. It was our first time in Taipei, so everything was unfamiliar to us, and Guide Yeongsim was the only light! She was everything. ^^ The weather was cloudy and a little chilly, but it didn't rain, so we were able to comfortably focus on our tour. The guide talked to us nonstop on the bus, introducing hot places in Taipei, great restaurants, and even shopping information, as if every second was precious, so I was so grateful. Above all, I think I'll never forget the secrets (?) hidden in the yellow signs and red letters. I think I can still hear the guide's voice. ^^ Above all, I was so grateful that she solved all the difficulties we encountered during the trip through KakaoTalk even after the bus tour was over. Thanks to Guide Yeongsim, this trip was more fulfilling and warm. If there's a chance next time, I'd like to meet her again and do it together.
