The two young men at the Traveler's Inn provided excellent service. We saw them busy running around early in the morning, yet they were still so friendly to us, which we really appreciated. The bicycles themselves were also great to ride. When we returned them, they even gave us two cups of black tea! 👍 Sun Moon Lake is truly beautiful, and we'll definitely visit again next time! 🥰

The owner is very friendly. The 6-speed ladies' bike was more than enough for the Shuishe-Xiangshan route, and I didn't get tired. Although there weren't many ladies' bikes, the owner maintains them well. Using the QR code made borrowing the bike smooth and easy. There was no time limit. It was a pleasant experience.

The shop was easy to find, right in the middle of downtown. The transaction was smooth and hassle-free. We simply went inside, showed our QR code, and got our bikes. There were different bike sizes available to choose from. The only downside was that the horn on my bike wasn't working properly. Also, no safety gear, such as helmets, was provided, which would have been nice to have. Overall, it was a convenient and straightforward bike rental experience.

This was my first time trying a flight station, and the company's arrangements were very thorough. They even have Insta360 filming to record the whole process, which was unforgettable. The instructor was also extremely attentive, spinning me around in circles mid-flight for an exhilarating experience. The landing was very smooth with an airbag cushion, so I wasn't hurt at all.

Incredible experience! The paragliding activity was well organised. Right from on time pickup from Puli bus station to drop off everything was well managed. English communication, both on WhatsApp and in person was clear and made the experience hassle free. The flight instructions were clear and easy to follow. Weightless floating in the air felt serene and peaceful. It was a clear, sunny day and the birds eye panoramic view of Puli was breathtaking. The pilots were fantastic and one of them even gave thrilling turns in the sky to my excited 10 yr old. Best moment of his life! The entire flight is recorded and shared at the end of the activity making it an unforgettable memory for us. Highly recommend this once in a lifetime experience.

I think the DIY activity is great. This time we chose to make comfrey ointment. I brought my own essential oils (there were also lavender, eucalyptus, and peppermint essential oils on-site, and menthol could be added). Scanning the QR code provided clear and simple video instructions, making it very easy to get started. The package also allowed us to exchange for 2 small bottles of honey (which normally cost around 200 NTD each), making it a great value!

We booked a sunrise paddle boarding experience. The location was changed last minute but the company accommodated us by providing transportation from our hotel and back. This is a beginner experience but you should feel comfortable on a board because there was little instruction available in English. We stayed in the cove the entire time which was disappointing. The highlight was that they took wonderful pictures of us together

The location was correct, but we had trouble finding it because there was no sign. However, the owner came out to greet us. Our buddy, Rock, was incredibly supportive, and even though I'm a complete beginner, I felt like I was doing really well. We got about 100 photos and videos, which made for a great memory. I would definitely love to do this again.

What to know before visiting Nantou

Nantou at a glance

Nantou is best known for outdoor attractions and family-friendly experiences: Zoos & aquariums lead bookings, followed by Tours, Theme parks, Cable cars and Parks & gardens. Klook booking data shows a clear annual rhythm — demand peaks in November and is much lower in March — so the year alternates between festival-like busier months and quieter windows for exploration. Decide whether you want the lively, peak-season atmosphere or the calm of off-peak: pick bustle for events or calm for cheaper, less crowded visits. All figures and timing come from Klook booking data.

When to visit Nantou

November is the busiest month on Klook, with bookings around 60% above a typical month, while March is the quietest at roughly 55% below. Prices move independently: the priciest month by median price is March (HKD 359) and the cheapest is August (HKD 78), so demand and price peaks don’t always match. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for August or March; for peak-season atmosphere choose November when demand is highest according to Klook booking data.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January Busier than usual HKD 133
February Quieter than usual HKD 156
March Very quiet HKD 359
April About average HKD 242
May Busier than usual HKD 172
June Peak demand HKD 257
July Very quiet HKD 281
August Busier than usual HKD 78
September Quieter than usual HKD 211
October Busier than usual HKD 211
November Peak demand HKD 351
December About average HKD 250

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Where to stay in Nantou

Klook hotel booking data shows a clear spread in nightly rates across districts. The most affordable district is Xinyi with a typical nightly rate around HKD 515, while the priciest is Yuchi at about HKD 1,458, a gap of roughly 65% between them. Budget-conscious travellers or families who prioritise simple, economical lodging will find Xinyi appealing; travellers seeking more comfort or higher-end hotel amenities will gravitate toward Yuchi. These figures reflect past Klook bookings and help set expectations when choosing where to base yourself.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

On Klook, travellers typically book very close to arrival — most bookings happen within a day or two — though the earliest planners reserve about eight days out. That means you can be flexible with most experiences, but in the peak month of November it pays to book earlier. Use Klook to lock in tickets and activities when you see a date and price you like; the platform’s historical booking patterns suggest availability tightens in busier months.
