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!

I originally booked a G6 150, but the owner thoughtfully asked what kind of scooter I usually ride and where I was planning to go. They were kind enough to upgrade us to a slightly higher-end model than what I had reserved. The helmets all had face shields, which was great.

The car was new and smoke-free. The driver was very nice. We booked a ride to Leofoo Village, but our destination was Leofoo Resort Guanshi. The driver was thoughtful enough to take us to Leofoo Resort Guanshi. He drove very smoothly and his driving skills were excellent. A great driver.

The driver was on time, courteous, and polite! Since public transportation isn't great in Chiayi, I tried a chartered car for the first time to explore. The entire trip was comfortable and convenient. I'm so glad I booked a car for my Korean family's visit to Taiwan! 🫶🏻

Our guide this time was Wu Xin-Yue (Qiang Qiang), a very enthusiastic person with great driving skills and a gentle demeanor. The accommodations weren't super luxurious, but they were adequate. Overall, the value for the price was pretty good. The itinerary to Smangus and Xinxing was well-paced, not too rushed. We encountered lots of dogs and cats along the way. This trip is suitable for those who want to experience something new, love cats and dogs, but aren't too concerned about the quality of the accommodations!

The space is well-planned. Both the sauna and relaxation areas are very clean. After a good sweat, I felt very relaxed and my skin was noticeably smoother. The shower area is excellently designed, with separate dry changing areas and wet shower areas, so you don't have to struggle to get dressed. The shower gel and shampoo also have a lovely, refreshing natural essential oil scent.

I met masseur No. 22 today. The strength was deep and powerful, and he would adjust according to the needs of the guests, which was pretty good! The tea jelly and sea salt given as a gift were sincere. The only drawback was that there was no place to sit down and drink tea and eat tea jelly after the massage, probably due to the limited space. The sea salt package was not sealed, so be careful that it would spill out.
