Our guide from Taichung is Mr. Eric! We had a wonderful experience today with him as our tour guide. He kept the whole group together throughout the day and made sure everyone felt safe at every stop. His explanations were clear and informative, giving us a much deeper understanding of what we were seeing. He also managed the itinerary perfectly, keeping everything on schedule without ever feeling rushed. On top of that, he was incredibly helpful with photography, making sure we all got great shots and even offered good tips for framing our photos. Highly recommend if you want a smooth, safe, and enjoyable tour!

I was drawn by the inclusion of the forest railway, so I booked a 2-day, 1-night Alishan trip (outbound: car, return: car + train). After the reservation was confirmed, I received information about what to bring and precautions via LINE. Closer to the date, I also received detailed information about the meeting point, driver's name, and vehicle number, which was reassuring. (All in Chinese, but translation software helped.) The documents provided when boarding the shuttle car also included Japanese, which was easy to understand. The guide spoke Chinese, so I needed someone to translate for me, but there was plenty of explanation time during the 2-hour hike. The paths were well-maintained with wooden decks and stone pavements, so even with my limited stamina and in the rain, I was able to walk comfortably. One word of caution: if you use a private car transfer, there's a high risk of motion sickness because the winding mountain roads have significant inclines. Even though I don't usually get car sick, I felt quite ill during the return transfer from Alishan to Fenqihu and wished I had brought motion sickness medication.

Even though the weather was hot, fishing was a lot of fun, but it was also quite challenging, and I was a little sad I didn't catch anything. Clam digging was incredibly fun, an experience city kids rarely get. Dragon boating was also very interesting. We caught our own clams to eat and then grilled them. The overall experience was more enjoyable than I expected. It's definitely worth a visit!

I went to the location last minute and was assigned a therapist for a 100-minute foot and body massage. Overall, the service was satisfactory. I felt that this therapist was a bit new, but I believe with more practice and experience, they will become a top performer at the shop!

I was a bit worried after reading the Google reviews, but when I arrived, I was incredibly surprised! The staff were all super nice, and the birthday decorations were much prettier than I imagined! There are activities at the campsite both day and night, so it's never boring. Plus, the BBQ dinner is definitely worth adding on, and the breakfast buffet was also delicious with a good variety of fresh ingredients, which is the most important thing! I genuinely loved it much more than I expected! I definitely want to come back, I loved it so much! 🫶🏼

It was a great 2 days trip and totally worth it to go to Alishan (one day would have been too rush and not having enough time to enjoy Alishan/ Chiayi/ Taichung). Mr B. Tsai was very accommodating and flexible with itinerary, especially with kid. That’s the benefit of having private tour as we were able to change itinerary to suit us. He also dropped us off at Taoyuan airport af the end of the tour as per request. Accommodation was clean, quiet with beautiful view of tea farm. Will definitely book with them for other tours when next visit Taiwan.

Max was an outstanding driver for our Alishan day tour—punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. He made the entire journey smooth and comfortable, sharing great local insights along the way. Highly recommend Max for a stress-free and enjoyable experience!

What to know before visiting Chiayi
Quick snapshot of Chiayi’s travel rhythm
Chiayi draws most bookings for massages, historical sites, tours and parks & gardens, so the city suits travellers who enjoy relaxed wellness, heritage visits and outdoor exploring. Demand peaks in September and is much lower around May, giving the year a clear high- and low-season rhythm.
When to visit for crowds and prices
According to Klook booking data, September is the busiest month while May sees the weakest demand. Prices drift through the year: they hit a low typically in November and typically reach their highest point in June. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for November or the quieter spring months; if you want peak-season atmosphere, plan for September. Note that prices don’t always track demand exactly here—June can be relatively expensive even though the biggest booking surge comes in September.
Tips for travellers from Hong Kong
Most travellers tend to book well ahead—around five months—so if you travel from Hong Kong and have fixed dates, consider arranging key experiences in advance, especially for September. If your schedule is flexible, many activities (massages, heritage tours and park visits) still suit a more relaxed booking window; either way, Klook listings make it easy to lock in plans or find last-minute options.
