Things to do in Hsinchu

Although the journey was long and bumpy, I really appreciate the tour guide, Qiang Qiang, for taking us hiking for two days and driving us back to Taipei for several hours! The hike wasn't too difficult, and this itinerary is very friendly for hiking beginners who like to explore nature. Although we didn't see the cherry blossoms in full bloom, the scenery along the way was worth remembering. Immersed in the mountains surrounding Smangus, a Tayal tribe village located deep in the mountains has its own culture and way of life, which is the purity and tranquility that cannot be seen in the city. The children of Xinguang Elementary School riding bicycles on the only small road left a deep impression on me. The grandma at Yaya Homestay kept urging us to eat well because it was cold in the mountains, as if she was treating her own grandchildren, and she actively offered more food. This human touch makes people feel warm. I would want to go back again, and it's worth recommending!

Amazing day experience to Smangus Village and hiking in he forest. Saw some cherry trees and some amazing nature landscapes. Our driver Chen Wei was amazing and very friendly. I also enjoyed the ride to get there and back as it was mountains and twirly.

It's a bit of a shame that Yingxue wasn't used for maintenance, but there are so many comics and places to relax inside, which is really great. It's like going back to the old days of reading comics, truly wonderful! The hot stone spa facilities are also excellent, I've tried them and they're great 👍

The therapists here are very professional, and they can pinpoint your discomfort and offer advice on simple ways to alleviate it. I really love the environment and atmosphere here. After my session today, I feel incredibly relaxed. I will definitely come back to this place to unwind again.

Buying tickets is convenient and a bit cheaper than at the gate. Although the zoo isn't huge, it's perfect for bringing children to explore. You can tell the staff put a lot of effort into maintaining the park and caring for the animals. On weekends, there's also a market and a park nearby, making it very convenient and enjoyable!

Excellent! Booking with Klook is so convenient: It's super easy to buy online and use immediately, plus it's very affordable. On weekdays, there's no time limit, which is really great for us!

There are many car models to choose from, but there's only one staff member, so you might need a little patience when it's busy. Although they check the car before you take it, ours ran out of battery after just two minutes. 😂 The staff member helped us switch to another car and restarted the timer. Besides the plaza below, you can also drive up to the plaza in front of the library, which is great for kids to experience driving. Some car models even allow adults to ride along (though my dad said his knees were exploding with pain, only my short mom could squeeze in). Overall, the experience was pretty good, so why only four stars? Mainly because of the price. It's a bit higher than similar services elsewhere, and the green car actually doesn't run for 30 minutes; some of the faster ones only last about 25 minutes.

Honestly, the price of this place, combined with the convenience and value for money offered through the Klook platform, is great! [Pre-booking: 1/5] The system management and customer service communication experience were extremely poor. After making the bank transfer, I replied with the last five digits of my account as required, but still received a system message stating, "Your reservation will be canceled if payment is not received." When I proactively reached out, the customer service representative not only failed to actively investigate but also shirked responsibility, even fabricating illogical technical excuses like "you didn't receive subsequent messages because a previous message was canceled." Even if I didn't receive it, couldn't they have called me? I even called the main store myself, and they said they would confirm and get back to me, but they never did. Instead, they kept sending payment reminder messages. In the end, they didn't even apologize. Their handling of the situation was infuriating and disrespectful. If I hadn't already paid the deposit, I would have definitely asked for a refund and not gone! [On-site Experience: 4/5] The overall experience was smooth. Although the instructors were a bit aloof, it was generally okay. However, if a movement wasn't done correctly, they only gave verbal reminders and didn't offer immediate assistance, so I wasn't sure who they were talking to. In fact, another group of customers helped me. The crafting process was fun and simple, and there were even snacks provided afterward. The indoor area had a lot of dust, which allergy sufferers should be aware of. [After-sales Service: 5/5] Later, I discovered that due to the ring's design, the finished ring size would be a bit large. It could be resized for free within 7 days, and the on-site staff were professional and friendly.
