The two young men at the Traveler's Inn provided excellent service. We saw them busy running around early in the morning, yet they were still so friendly to us, which we really appreciated. The bicycles themselves were also great to ride. When we returned them, they even gave us two cups of black tea! 👍 Sun Moon Lake is truly beautiful, and we'll definitely visit again next time! 🥰

The owner is very friendly. The 6-speed ladies' bike was more than enough for the Shuishe-Xiangshan route, and I didn't get tired. Although there weren't many ladies' bikes, the owner maintains them well. Using the QR code made borrowing the bike smooth and easy. There was no time limit. It was a pleasant experience.

The shop was easy to find, right in the middle of downtown. The transaction was smooth and hassle-free. We simply went inside, showed our QR code, and got our bikes. There were different bike sizes available to choose from. The only downside was that the horn on my bike wasn't working properly. Also, no safety gear, such as helmets, was provided, which would have been nice to have. Overall, it was a convenient and straightforward bike rental experience.

It was a great trip with our guide A Jun. He was very enthusiastic in engaging with us and took great photos of everyone. We had fun and interesting conversations along the road so it was never boring. We went to Sun Moon Lake to ride the boat and landed on the little island with the famous tea egg and temple on top. Then to Ita Thao Shopping Street to have lunch and some shopping. Next we went to the farm for sheeps and equestrian show. Do note that sheep show is only available on holidays. Overall, it was a satisfying trip.

Highly recommended for Koreans!!!!!! The Korean-language tour wasn't available on the date I wanted, so I ended up choosing this tour instead, and it was such a great choice!!! First of all, it was so nice that they picked us up directly from our hotel instead of having us gather at a meeting point haha. The tour was held privately with just 6 people in total—me, my mom (2 people), and a Chinese family of 4. The car was super spacious and air-conditioned, which was great! The driver couldn't speak Korean, but he explained everything well using a translator and some English haha. What truly touched me was that I had lost my wallet at the night market the day before T.T. When the driver heard about that, he said that after the tour ended, he would go with me to the night market to ask the vendors, kept calling the police station in between to check if any lost items had been turned in, and even offered to go with me to the police station to help file a report after the tour. We didn't end up going because we figured we wouldn't find it even if we went to the night market T.T., but he kept trying to help us, which really touched both me and my mom haha. Also, the Chinese family traveling with us translated between the driver and us in English and even bought us drinks lol. They were worried about my lost wallet together with us! Anyway, I had a total mental breakdown the day before after losing my wallet, all my exchanged cash, and several cards, but during the tour, my mind actually eased up, and I met good people and had a wonderful tour!!! I didn't know ferry tickets were included, but they were! The price is also reasonable, so Korean folks planning to visit Sun Moon Lake and Gaomei Wetlands, please use this tour!!!!! The itinerary proceeded as follows: a huge temple at Sun Moon Lake ➡️ Sun Moon Lake Visitor Center? (cool and good for a short rest) ➡️ Sun Moon Lake ferry (basic 3-stop course) ➡️ pineapple cake shop (no purchase required, has a restroom) ➡️ Gaomei Wetlands, and they dropped us off right in front of our hotel at the end haha. Oh, and you can use WhatsApp for communication before the tour~~
