Things to do in Nantou

We had a wonderful experience visiting Sun Moon Lake and Qingjing Farm, thanks to our guide Ken. He did a truly marvelous job throughout the trip. Ken was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. He reached early to pick us up at our Taichung hotel and we really appreciate it. He shared interesting information about the places we visited and ensure we had enough time to explore. He also took the initiative to help us take many great photos during the trip. We really appreciated his professionalism and warm personality. If you are planning a trip to Sun Moon Lake and Qingjing Farm, we highly recommend Ken as your guide!

We had an amazing experience on our Sun Moon Lake tour, and it was all thanks to our guide, Cipher! Cipher is hands down the best tour guide we’ve had answered all our questions enthusiastically and shared so much knowledge about Sun Moon Lake. From the history to the best photo spots and local stories, everything was explained in such an engaging and fun way. Cipher made the whole tour lively and enjoyable, and it honestly felt like exploring with a very knowledgeable friend. If you’re planning to visit Sun Moon Lake, I highly recommend booking this tour — and hopefully you get Cipher as your guide. Totally worth it! 🌊✨

Had such a wonderful tour experience in Alishan! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking — from the misty mountains and peaceful forests to the unforgettable views. Everything was well organized, smooth, and enjoyable from start to finish. Special thanks to our driver and guide, Mr. Yang (plate number RFL-7577), for making the trip even more memorable. He was professional, friendly, patient, and made sure everyone was comfortable and safe throughout the journey. His kindness and great service truly added to the overall experience. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Taiwan — Alishan is magical, and having such a reliable guide makes it even better. Thank you again, Mr. Yang!

This is a new attraction in Caotun, Nantou. Although some areas of the park are currently under construction and closed, most of the open areas are sufficient for visitors to spend half a day. Not only are there many animals that can be observed up close, but you can also interact with and feed the parrots, which is very interesting. In addition, the park's trail facilities are complete, and a walk around the park can also achieve the effect of a hiking activity. However, there are not many shaded areas outdoors, so be sure to protect yourself from the sun and stay hydrated when it's hot. It is a tourist attraction worth visiting.

Nantou's Water and Pine Cute Garden is truly like stepping into a "real-life animal picture book"! From the Highland cattle's adorably blank stares to the tortoises' leisurely strolls, each animal has its own healing power. Chinchillas and Valais Blacknose sheep are as playful as children, white kangaroos hop around nimbly, and the hairless hamsters' chubby appearance is unbelievably cute 😍. And the meerkats standing guard in formation look like they're having an animal conference; capybaras are the park's "healing kings," and just watching them soak in the water makes you feel instantly relaxed. This place is more than just getting close to nature; it's like a "cuteness overload"! Adults and children alike can be healed here. We highly recommend everyone come for a visit and let the little animals melt away your stress~

We got to explore the sun moon lake with this ticket. You have to purchase this ticket to be able to ride the yacht/boat which travels to 3 ports around the lake. Each ports has its own scenery or activity. In ita thao port you can ride the cable car to get to the formosan village.

It is highly recommended to walk along this 1.2 km path. This skywalk connects swiss garden to Qingjing farm. One day perfect iternary would be to visit Swiss garden first. Then take the skywalk to enter Qingjing farm from which, you can walk back to swiss garden back.

Walking along the forest trails in Xitou is incredibly refreshing. You're surrounded by towering cedar trees and lush green bamboo forests, and the air is so clean you can't help but take deep breaths. As you stroll, listening to the birds singing, you feel completely relaxed, as if you've temporarily escaped the hustle and bustle of the city. It instantly puts you in a great mood, and you can capture a lot of beautiful photos. However, some trails are temporarily closed due to previous typhoon damage, which is a bit of a shame. Hopefully, they'll be reopened by my next visit. Also, the Klook package includes free tea bags from You Shan Cha Fang, which is a nice perk. The staff there are very friendly, and you even get a complimentary cup of freshly brewed tea. I highly recommend it to everyone.
