The clothes were beautiful and the material was great. After the designer helped tie my hair into braids and added suitable hair accessories, along with selecting earrings, a handbag, a fan, and a paper umbrella, it felt like stepping back into vintage Shanghai. This experience is truly worthwhile and highly recommended to everyone! 👍

The Milkfish Theme Museum on Yuguang Island offers local stories. Tour guide Ms. Chen provides a friendly explanation of Yuguang Island and Tainan's history, making it a great stop for international visitors to Tainan. It's clear they put a lot of effort into promoting domestic tourism.

The children had a great time, and while the old street didn't seem very crowded, it was inspiring to see people still working hard to revitalize the area, which made me want to support them. The staff were all very friendly. Even though it was raining, the kids had a lot of fun and were excited to share their experiences when we got home. Parking nearby was quite convenient, making it a great place to take children for an experience.

APR. 04, 2026 ♨️ Zhuxiangyuan Urn Chicken ✖️ Guanziling Fuyeh Hot Spring Resort
The forecast said there would be 100% rain across Taiwan on April 4th, so of course, our itinerary had to be 'dynamically adjusted'! 😂
Arriving at Guanziling, it was truly hard to tell the difference between the rain and the hot spring. Although the temperature was a bit low, and I couldn't help but grumble, 'I always catch a cold when I go out during long holidays,' seeing the children's eager eyes, the adults decided to go all out! It's all about having fun! The adults each retreated into the Fuyeh Hot Spring Resort's indoor hot springs. Wow, that heat, that mud, it was truly so comfortable and enjoyable! We instantly forgot all about the damp and cold. ♨️
Afterward, we were incredibly lucky! We had mentally prepared ourselves to wait in line for 'Zhuxiangyuan Urn Chicken,' but we were able to be seated immediately without any wait at all! 🎉 Every dish was delicious, and after soaking in the hot springs and eating chicken, these little 'foremen' were full of energy again! Today, with thunderstorms across Taiwan ⛈️, ended perfectly!

I've always used Klook for purchases because it's so convenient and quick to use. I frequently visit this hot spring establishment, and the staff at the counter are very friendly and thoughtful. I love this hot spring the most; the water is very concentrated. I will continue to come to this hot spring establishment!

It's so convenient to buy tickets on Klook and use them immediately without a reservation! The staff at the counter were very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. This was my first time bringing my mom to a hot spring room. We had three people and chose a quad room, which had two double beds. The hot spring water flow was strong and hot enough, which was fantastic! Although the room facilities were a bit old, it was clean and comfortable. After soaking in the hot spring, we slept wonderfully.

It's very relaxing to apply a face mask while soaking alone, but the soundproofing in the private hot spring room isn't great, likely for ventilation to prevent dampness. I recommend bringing your own hairdryer. An hour and a half is more than enough time, and parking is convenient.

We traveled on the day Super Typhoon Bavi was affecting Taiwan, so we were very grateful that our Taiwan High Speed Rail trip still operated safely and wasn't canceled. It gave us peace of mind and allowed us to continue our travel plans without major disruptions.
Booking through Klook was seamless, and redeeming our tickets was quick and easy. The train was clean, comfortable, spacious, and departed on time despite the weather. The stations were well organized with clear signs, making it easy for first-time visitors like us to navigate.
Traveling from Taipei to Kaohsiung was smooth, fast, and stress-free. We're truly thankful to the THSR team for their professionalism and commitment to passenger safety. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Taiwan!
