Releasing a sky lantern in Shifen was the highlight of my trip! Writing my wishes and watching the colorful lantern gracefully float up into the sky was a truly beautiful and memorable moment. The atmosphere along the old tracks is fantastic. Highly recommend this unique cultural tradition!

We had the sweetest experience at nimonjewelry in Taiwan ✨
We joined a ring-making workshop, and it honestly felt magical. The lovely staff member who helped us was so kind and gentle, making the whole process feel warm and personal. The atmosphere in the studio was cozy, creative, and full of good vibes.

It just a blessing card to write and hang at the temple. And a paper lantern for us to bring home. However the view from the temple is quite nice.

This was a very fun experience! The instructors explained thoroughly each step and even let us practice before doing the real thing. They guided us throughout the whole process making it safe but fun! They really do try to ensure that you will leave with a product that you are proud of.
It was our first time doing glassblowing and would highly recommend this activity if you are in Taiwan! You will leave Taiwan with a beautiful and functional glass piece (cup / bowl / pitcher).
Thank you for the experience!

My first time at "RAR Foot Bath & Massage (Banqiao Branch)" was a great experience! I got a full body massage, and the whole process was very comfortable and relaxing. The masseuse was very professional, with just the right amount of pressure, really achieving a deep relaxation effect.
The interior is clean and bright, making you feel at ease as soon as you walk in. A major plus is the complimentary snack bar outside, with hot, healthy tea available. Sipping tea after the massage is super enjoyable!

The best massage I have ever experienced in my life. My masseuse spent lots of time working out every knot in my back and I never felt better. I highly recommend this place.
