Things to do in Taichung

I had an incredible experience on the Alishan Day Tour booked via Klook in January 2026. The entire process was smooth from booking to the tour day. The pickup was punctual, and the tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and beauty of Alishan. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, especially the sunrise view from the summit — a highlight of the trip! The train ride through the lush forests and the iconic Giant Tree were unforgettable moments. The weather in January was chilly but clear, perfect for sightseeing and photography. The tour included comfortable transportation, well-organized stops, and enough free time to explore each site. Overall, it exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to experience the natural wonders of Alishan with convenience and expert guidance.

Our family had a wonderful time. Sun Moon Lake is truly breathtaking. I think I booked a tour that’s in Chinese only but our tour driver and guide was still very accomodating and helped us by having other passengers translate. The place we went to for lunch served delicious food. We also had a lot of fun at the farm. Highly recommended tour just make sure to choose English as the preferred language.

totally enjoyed the trip! 阿湯哥is a very enthusiastic, informative and very patient tour guide. once we board the van, he will start giving us information and history of Sun Moon Lake. the 2hrs+ journey to the destination seems shorter with his lively conversation. there were 3 other groups (a family and 2 singles), we all get to know each other well with thanks to 阿湯哥. he spontaneously helped all of us to take pictures, showing us where are the scenic places for photo taking. he even treated all of us with ah Ma tea egg which is truly delicious! my gals and I truly enjoyed the tour with 阿湯哥‘s guide. he deserved a 200% rating!

We had an enjoyable day with our tour, and special shout out to Kevin our tour leader driver. He's friendly and helpful, great driver. Very punctual too. The tour takes the full day and there's fair bit of walk. So be prepared for that. The scenery is beautiful and the walk is easy to moderate difficulty. All the trail is paved or steps.

Klook offers discounted tickets for 1 adult and 1 child at $1315, which is cheaper than buying tickets on-site and includes a bonus Starbucks coupon. During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, I took my child to Mala Bay for the first time. I recommend starting with the Lazy River and the inflatable water park (life jackets required for both adults and children). The double-rider waterslide at Abu Bay is also fun and exciting.

The Taichung National Science and Technology Museum is definitely worth a visit. There’s so much to see and explore, from interactive exhibits to fascinating displays about science and technology. Buying tickets through Klook is very convenient, which makes the visit even better. It’s a great destination for families, students, or anyone curious about science. I highly recommend setting aside a few hours to fully enjoy everything the museum has to offer.

The toll booth signal was good this time, so I was able to use the Q code to redeem my ticket. I still recommend taking a screenshot before heading up the mountain just in case. Online ticket purchases include free parking. There are many trails to choose from, and staying in the cabins is a lot of fun. There are currently no shops, so remember to bring plenty of food.

I didn't expect to see a professional circus in Taiwan! The price is really reasonable! There wasn't a dull moment, time flew by! Afterwards, we watched the dreamy bubble magic show! The bubble princess was so beautiful, and the performance was humorous and fun, making both adults and children laugh and interact and dance together! Highly recommended.

Purchasing Klook tickets is more advantageous than buying them on-site. The environment is clean, the water quality is good, and the hot spring quality is excellent. The nude hot springs are separated for men and women and have pools of different temperatures, as well as spa, steam room, and sauna facilities. After soaking in the hot springs, we had lunch at the Hanami Western Restaurant. Although there aren't many food options, the food is all very fresh. There's no need to jostle with crowds to get food, and the service attitude is very friendly. Highly recommended.
