Things to do in Taichung

Hi. I would recommend our driver Andy! He is well versed in different languages. He tried to have small conversations with us and even explain to us the history about each venue. The car is comfortable and he really knows which playlist to choose to play in the car to keep away the awkwardness with other passengers around. Thumbs up!!

Highly recommended - felt safe all throughout the crazy windy bus ride to and from Alishan! Thank you as well to our tour guide, Henry! Prepare to go up and down some stairs. It’s quite a fast-paced trip but still enjoyed time with nature.

Tommy Lin was impressively thorough and well-informed, providing wonderful insights on the beauties showcased throughout the tour. He also gave us a brief history on Taipei as a whole which was certainly pleasing to hear and learn about.

The Alishan tour departing from Taichung HSR Station was extremely smooth. After taking the high-speed rail, our driver-guide met us at the meeting point. Along the way, there were a few rest stops for restroom breaks or meals. We highly recommend our driver-guide, Xiao Xin. The mountain roads to Alishan are truly winding, which is why I had wanted to visit for a long time but never dared to drive myself. However, his driving skills are excellent; sitting in the very back of the 9-seater van, I didn't feel carsick at all. Best of all, we could sleep in the car and wake up right in Alishan—it was so comfortable! The scenery in Alishan is breathtaking, a must-visit destination in one's lifetime! The guide provided very detailed explanations of Alishan and shared many interesting stories. He also guided us along an easier, downhill walking route so we wouldn't feel too exhausted, and along the way, he helped take many wonderful photos. He even compiled them into a video and sent us the photos to keep as memories—he is truly dedicated! (As for sharing, the guide took some personal photos that I won't make public, so I'm posting the ones I took myself, some of which used photography techniques shared by the guide). On the return trip, perhaps to keep us from getting bored, the guide prepared some jokes, which made it a lot of fun 😆. The itinerary was well-planned, the guide was humorous and engaging, transportation was convenient, and it offered incredible value. I highly recommend everyone to check out this day tour!

Electronic tickets were buy one, get one free, but actually only children need tickets while adults can just buy accompanying tickets. Upon arrival, you still have to wait in line to exchange for physical tickets. Because there are many ticket types and rules, the wait is very long. On the day we went, there was construction everywhere outside, leaving only two restaurants on the second floor, plus Yoshinoya and a hot pot place on the first floor, making it difficult to find food. As for the amusement park itself, it is fun, but when it first opened, the air conditioning was not strong, so we were sweating profusely. A few facilities have height restrictions, but once you reach 130 cm, you can ride everything. Children can easily play all day long. For the Snow Wonderland, you need to rent winter clothing, which costs 80 NTD per piece.

價格：we went that when sunset, view is good with nice price. klook is the best

It's actually very suitable for bringing children to visit for half a day. You can slowly enjoy and explore for about 4-5 hours. The visitor flow inside is quite clear, and you can see everything by following the path. There are many more types of jellyfish than expected, which is quite good. The only downside is that the admission ticket feels a bit expensive.

The drive along the road is wonderful, and the scenery is exceptionally beautiful. Purchasing through Klook is also very convenient and can be used immediately. Every time I go up to Dadueshan, I will definitely use Klook to buy again. Convenience of booking with Klook:

Buying tickets online allows for a parking fee discount, which is a great deal. The flat area of the park isn't very large; unless you plan to hike up Baxianshan, you can see everything in about an hour. However, the tickets are inexpensive, so it's still worth exploring at least once!
