Great 4.0
The RV camping area has gravel, and there are also wiggle cars for rent. You need to purchase a key first, which costs $100 per car, plus a $50 deposit, totaling $150. After use, lock the car back up and return the key, which is a bit inconvenient. The track has a slight incline, and with kids vigorously using them, some cars were damaged on the way back and discarded. We also ordered a BBQ set and asked the staff to defrost it in advance, but it was still frozen when we received it. The mattress was a bit hard, but the water bottle and amenities inside the RV were very good and clean.

This was my first time camping, and the experience was amazing!
The campsite was clean, comfortable, and had beautiful scenery. At night, we could see a sky full of stars.
The meals were carefully prepared, especially the surf and turf BBQ, with fresh and delicious ingredients.
We even met a super cute dog named "Tiao Tiao," who was lively and friendly, making the camping trip even more fun.
Having such a great memory on my first try, I highly recommend it! 🌟

A great place to relax and get away from it all ❤️ The owner is also very kind. Even though I arrived late, she was paying attention to our arrival. I would just suggest arriving before the sun goes down 🛬 because the mountain road up there has no streetlights and is quite dangerous ⚠️

This is a very special store. The ceiling allows people of all ages to freely express their creativity, making it very memorable, as everyone's unique characteristics are displayed on the ceiling. Although I've made Lei Cha elsewhere, I went there to use a discount coupon, and the value was just okay (the bread was only given after I reminded them, and the portion size was average 😂).

The handmade process is very therapeutic and fun. The staff is very kind. You can choose your own raw ore, cauliflower, and essential oils. You can get corresponding answers through the Book of Answers, and they are very much in line with your current situation, which is very magical~~ Finally, a small essential oil is given away at the end of the course.

Although the journey was long and bumpy, I really appreciate the tour guide, Qiang Qiang, for taking us hiking for two days and driving us back to Taipei for several hours! The hike wasn't too difficult, and this itinerary is very friendly for hiking beginners who like to explore nature. Although we didn't see the cherry blossoms in full bloom, the scenery along the way was worth remembering. Immersed in the mountains surrounding Smangus, a Tayal tribe village located deep in the mountains has its own culture and way of life, which is the purity and tranquility that cannot be seen in the city. The children of Xinguang Elementary School riding bicycles on the only small road left a deep impression on me. The grandma at Yaya Homestay kept urging us to eat well because it was cold in the mountains, as if she was treating her own grandchildren, and she actively offered more food. This human touch makes people feel warm. I would want to go back again, and it's worth recommending!

Tour guide Bratt Kao was great, the weather was good, and the kids were very happy after visiting the zoo 😃. Nanliao Fishing Port and the sea-sky line scenic spot were very windy, and the kids couldn't stand it, so they left immediately after seeing it, which meant arriving at Meishan Crab Trail early, before the tide had receded. The tour guide temporarily arranged a visit to the Mazu Temple and Baoan Temple to pray, as well as a short break at a cafe, to wait for the tide to recede before going back to see it again. As a result, they were able to see mudskippers and crabs ☺️. Really appreciate Bratt for making it a fulfilling day for the kids.

Although it requires driving to get there, it's truly one of the top choices for family-friendly hotels. It has complete family facilities, including a pool, playground, and more. The rooms are comfortable, the beds are good for sleeping, and the breakfast is delicious. There's nothing to complain about.

The hotel is centrally located, and parking is relatively convenient, though you'll have to pay out of pocket (around $380 NTD for one night, parking calculated until the next day). Hmm... The hotel uses automated check-in, but there are still staff available (we were able to borrow umbrellas when it rained that day). We stayed in a double room, which was quite spacious. The bathroom is a bit outdated (but I'm happy as long as there's a bathtub), but it's clean and tidy. The street view from the window is lovely. My only minor point is that the room is quite large, so why is the TV so small? Just a personal opinion, haha. Overall, the price of just over a thousand NTD makes it a pretty good value for money.
