Things to do in National Museum of Natural Science

It was a nice break from the back to back travel we did here in Taichung (alishan/sun moon lake) and also from the heat during summer months. Price doesn’t differ that much when you buy it directly.

The Heping Island Ocean Park combines rich marine ecological exhibits with interactive experiences, making it a popular destination for families. The aquarium's thoughtful design allows visitors to get up close with various fish, corals, and marine life, creating an immersive underwater world experience. Through vivid explanations and multimedia exhibits, children can learn about marine science while having fun. Outside the park, visitors can also enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery of Keelung, perfect for taking photos. It's an ocean-themed attraction that offers both educational and entertainment value.

Thanks to Else for enthusiastically taking photos for us and guiding us through the tour. It's been a long time since I've met such a passionate staff member. They helped us have a wonderful afternoon, and now we have many photos and videos to look back on. We purchased tickets on Klook; upon arrival, simply show the QR code to be scanned at the counter, and they will arrange your entry time. There are quite a few exhibits; about half are two-dimensional works, a quarter are interactive installations, and a quarter are walk-through scenes. I highly recommend this activity for a summer afternoon; it's suitable for all ages.

This hot stone spa is conveniently located in the B2 level of the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store, right behind Taichung Station! The staff were very patient and helpful, and the environment was new and clean. Everything from the restrooms to the hair-drying area and the hot stone spa rooms themselves were spotless, though there was a bit of dust in some of the single-person lying areas, specifically in the corners near the walls.

The foot massage experience was incredibly relaxing and therapeutic. The masseuse began by soaking my feet in warm water to promote circulation, then proceeded to work on the reflexology zones of my soles, targeting areas corresponding to different organs. Although there were occasional moments of soreness, as I adjusted to the pressure, my body felt much more at ease. Afterward, my feet were warm, my entire body felt comfortable, and my fatigue was noticeably reduced. This is especially beneficial for those who stand or sit for long periods, offering a great experience that combines relaxation and health benefits. The shop's atmosphere was warm and comfortable, with soft, non-glaring lighting and gentle music, allowing one to relax immediately upon entering. The subtle aroma of essential oils in the air created a serene and healing environment. The chairs were spacious, the area was clean, and the staff were friendly, making the overall experience even more reassuring and pleasant.

Masseuse: Amazing!! Highly recommend Sister #238!!!! She looks slender, but her strength is incredible! Even after massaging her 5th or 6th client, her strength doesn't diminish. And she's very precise with her pressure points 👍✨️✨️ Her Mandarin is also excellent. She knows many idioms, and even Taiwanese dialect 🤣💕 Conversation flows very smoothly with her. If you like her service, please show your strong support with a tip! 🤩 ✅️ Giving the tip directly to Sister #238 is the best way! It will make her happy all day long~ 🥰 Environment: The massage parlor's environment is great. The licorice tea is also sweet and delicious 😋 💰 Single-session tickets purchased on-site can only be paid for with cash. ✔️ Alternatively, you can pay by card for discounted package deals. The price will be even more favorable.

Therapist No. 66 was, without a doubt, the best I've ever experienced, even after countless treatments worldwide. Their skill made me feel like an empress in a royal palace. Truly top-tier talent, especially considering the environment and facilities!

The instructor gave friendly explanations and also helped adjust the work. Black tea and fruit pound cake were provided as snacks. Two groups of guests were separated for their craft sessions, which was great. Although the lamp styles required an additional purchase, the price had a high cost-performance ratio compared to others.
