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.

We traveled on the day Super Typhoon Bavi was affecting Taiwan, so we were very grateful that our Taiwan High Speed Rail trip still operated safely and wasn't canceled. It gave us peace of mind and allowed us to continue our travel plans without major disruptions. Booking through Klook was seamless, and redeeming our tickets was quick and easy. The train was clean, comfortable, spacious, and departed on time despite the weather. The stations were well organized with clear signs, making it easy for first-time visitors like us to navigate. Traveling from Taipei to Kaohsiung was smooth, fast, and stress-free. We're truly thankful to the THSR team for their professionalism and commitment to passenger safety. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Taiwan!

The cruise ship is clean and comfortable, and the price isn't expensive. I especially recommend the sleeper cabins; they are truly comfortable! You can lie down and sleep the whole way until you arrive. The journey wasn't very dizzying either; the large ship body was very comfortable, and there's even a cafe and game room inside. It's like a deluxe version of a cruise ferry. The kids were very at ease on the ship, able to freely explore and run around, and when they got tired, they could go back to the sleeper cabin to rest. It's especially suitable for families with babies, as taking a baby on a cramped plane or small boat is truly a nightmare. The next time I go to Penghu, I will definitely choose the Penghu Ferry again.
