Nantou

The staff's service attitude was very good, but the quality of the pet trailer needs improvement. I suggest replacing the pet trailer basket with a new one. The pet basket has many holes, and the zipper is broken. We can only take the dog out from above, which is very inconvenient for us who have medium to large dogs. In the process of picking it up, the dog must be held upright out of the basket, which is difficult for people to exert force and also hurts the dog's spine. Halfway through the ride, the pet basket separated directly from the bicycle because the part connecting to the bicycle was only fixed with plastic straps. The plastic straps cannot support the entire pet trailer basket + the pet's weight, so we had to reluctantly find a rope from the pet basket to re-tie it to the bicycle.

Booking and pickup through Klook was straightforward. We upgraded to a tandem bike at pickup and easily paid the difference in cash. There's a slight deduction because the helmets were forgotten.

The booking process was fast and response from vendor was responsive also. They were able to pick me up from the hotel which i stayed at Puli and drove up the meeting flight point mid mountain. Even though we had to wait for the wind to pick up, but when the wind came, the whole flight expereince was great. Instructor Liu was expereienced and we managed to fly to a high of 1,200 meters and whole flight took around 25 minutes. Saw a blurred far view of the Sun Lake Moon view (due to cloudy weather). We even flew to above the roads. The view of the mountain and wind in the air was great. Thank you Instructor Liew for a incredible flight experience for 1st timers like myself.

Experience was great! They picked/returned me up in KFC. Very accumodating people. Thank you! There is cafe/restaurant where you can eat while waiting to enought wind. Advice, dont eat too much before flying :D You can opt to use your own camera or use there go pro or maybe both.

Easy to redeem, nice owner who was fluent in English and biked with us to show us the entrance to the bike trail. Standard bikes are a bit old but perfectly serviceable. Worth the price.

The package includes afternoon tea, dinner, and breakfast the next day, as well as bicycles and Sun Moon Lake boat tickets. The price is reasonable, and there are many new and easy-to-ride bicycles. The camper van is very clean, the staff is always ready to answer questions and very patient, and the explanations are detailed and clear.

The itinerary deserves a perfect score, and first, I'd like to express my gratitude to our driver and guide, Brother Ken! Brother Ken arrived very early to pick us up and took thoughtful care of everyone. Our first stop was Cingjing Farm. The journey wasn't short, and the mountain roads were winding, making me wonder if it would be boring, but it wasn't at all. Brother Ken started sharing many interesting local stories even before we began ascending the mountain, which was incredibly entertaining. He would share details about every place we passed. On the way up, we saw trucks transporting cabbages down from the high mountains, and we got a sense of the indigenous people's way of life, culture, and art. Even the place names we passed had their own history. Thanks to Brother Ken, I learned so much about Nantou. The mountains in Nantou are truly beautiful. Stepping into the vast mountains, I truly understood what it means to see layers of green peaks. The mountains seemed endless. Occasionally, we'd pass by cliffs, and in the distance, we could see riverbeds. It was the dry season, so they looked like shallow, scratch-like marks, with a few shimmering, wide, thin mirrors reflecting on them. The scenery was captivating. Upon arriving at the farm, the weather was perfect. Time seemed to stand still under the blue sky and white clouds, and we gradually felt the temperature becoming cooler. Sheep trotted on the slopes, creating little 'flowers' on the lush green grass. The walking path was built along the mountain, and a few horses grazed in the flat area below. In the distance, the continuous mountain ranges were hazy, only their general outlines remaining, blending into the azure sky. We walked along the path to the exit, where Brother Ken picked us up for lunch before taking us to our second destination, Sun Moon Lake. Getting out of the car, I was immediately drawn to the surface of Sun Moon Lake. It was more expansive than I imagined, with an emerald-like surface that seemed bottomless. Just then, fragmented sunlight fell upon it, creating shimmering ripples, like light, thin silk stretching and unfurling in the wind. Taking a boat tour of the lake was exhilarating. The breeze was refreshing, reducing some of the early summer heat. Brother Ken continued to provide explanations, deepening our impression of Sun Moon Lake. The boat stopped at several piers, and in the shallow waters near the shore, we could faintly see small fish. I guessed the fish were as happy as I was. During our free time, we walked to the Yuchi Township Farmers' Association's Ita Thao branch and bought Ruby Black Tea. It felt like a must-do to bring back some black tea from Sun Moon Lake. The Assam milk tea we bought from a roadside shop was also delicious. On the boat ride back, we could see the cable cars, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. Sun Moon Lake at sunset, with its water becoming deeper and more profound, gently smoothed away all worries. Even though we were reluctant to leave, it was time to head back. Brother Ken drove us back, again carefully reminding us to gather our personal belongings. On the way back, we watched the sun set, and the fields along the highway turned golden. The lingering warmth of the sun gradually faded, and our phone galleries filled with more and more photos. I thought to myself how truly happy this day had been, and it had passed by so quickly. As night fell, we finally returned to Taichung, and Brother Ken patiently dropped us off at our respective accommodations, bidding us farewell. I am so grateful to Brother Ken and to this one-day tour. It felt like a wonderfully beautiful dream. I love the mountains and waters of Nantou, and perhaps if I ever feel anxious again, looking back at this trip, recalling those interesting little stories, those adorable little sheep, and those lovely ripples, will bring me peace. I truly hope to have the chance to visit again!

Ease of locating the meeting point and although there is no tour guide provided on this day tour, it is very self-sufficient. The tour to Sun Moon Lake is enjoyable with lots of food choices. But for those who would like to explore the island by cable car, ferry or the bus, this half day tour may not be enough. The other half day is to visit a chocolate factory, stopover for donuts at a cafe and a visit to Paper Dome.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience on our Sun Moon Lake tour, and a big part of that was thanks to Jeannie! She was friendly, professional, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire trip. She shared interesting information about each destination, kept the group informed, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Her energy and passion for what she does really enhanced the experience and made the tour both enjoyable and memorable. Sun Moon Lake is beautiful on its own, but having a guide like Jeannie made the experience even better. Highly recommend this tour, and if you’re lucky enough to have Jeannie as your guide, you’re in great hands!
