Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Tainan and Taiwan by extension. He has so many stories to share about the different periods of Taiwan's history. The one area of improvement I'd recommend is maybe add more locations to let the group move around more as many of us were losing our attention given how in-depth the stories were.

The day before, I was switched from the Japanese tour to the Chinese tour due to the small number of participants, but luckily there was one other person, and the guide was incredibly attentive, which was a great help (they also speak English). I was able to visit historical buildings and places in Taichung and enjoy the scenery along the way. The Chimei Museum, which we visited last, was overwhelmingly impressive and so extensive that you couldn't see everything thoroughly in the time allotted. I'm glad I participated in this tour because the route included places I wouldn't have thought of myself.

Buy tour package from Klook. Stress free, all are arranged. Need to buy Ten drum cultural park entry ticket ourself, can buy online or at counter when arrive. The drum performance was amazing. Worth to visit all these amazing places - Ten Drum cultural park, Chigu salt hill, salt field. Not manage to visit Dadong night market due to rain.

Charlie Lee is a professional tour guide. He is proficient in English, Manderin and Taiwanese. In addition, he has profound knowledge in history, religion , and even philosophy. He was very patient with my three naughty boys. He not only explained the history behind every cultural sites in great detail, he also helped look after my kids, paying attention to my kids' safety. Without him as our tour guide, this fun and eductional trip wouldn't have been possible. Thank you Mr. Lee, for this unforgettable trip.

The Taiwan High-Speed Rail is truly impressive — fast, efficient, and incredibly convenient. Traveling between cities was a breeze, and the trains arrived exactly on time. The seats were spacious and comfortable, with plenty of legroom, clean interiors, and smooth, quiet rides that made the journey relaxing.
Buying tickets was simple, either online or at the station, and the staff were helpful and professional. I appreciated the clear signage and easy boarding process — everything was well-organized and designed with travelers in mind.
What stood out the most was the speed. In just a short time, I was able to travel across Taiwan without any stress from traffic or long delays. It’s the perfect transport option for both tourists and locals.
Highly recommended for anyone traveling around Taiwan. Efficient, reliable, and world-class — the Taiwan High-Speed Rail exceeded my expectations!

I had fun exploring Southern Taiwan with this 3 day pass. Very easy to use, it comes with a booklet that you'll get from the HSR counter. You can book your HSR in advance through the website, can even change your time of departure when you go to the counter. My accomodation is in Taipei and the day trips in Taichung and Tainan was just a breeze. HSR also provides free shuttle bus between HSR station to the main city, just research for the bus number. You have to go through the staff at the gates to pass through, they will inspect the booklet. I'll comeback to explore more of South Taiwan!

Hope this info will help any international traveller going from Kinmen (Shuitou Pier 水头码头) to Xiamen (Wutong Port 五通客运码头)
1) Collect ferry ticket from the left most counter (i.e. i海台已附款取票柜台) at Shuitou Pier 水头码头
2) The ferry tickets can only be collected between 30 and 70 minutes before departure.
3) Security and immigration clearance only starts 60 minutes before ferry departure
4) Luggage will be kept in the luggage rooms within the ferry, but unlike the Kinmen side, you'll need to find and claim your luggage before exiting the ferry!
Remember to fill in the physical Arrival Card for Temporary Entry Foreigners (photo before) either provided during the ferry trip or at Wutong Port, as you'll need the card to clear the immigration at Xiamen
