The high-speed rail lunch boxes are delicious and the portions are good. Especially the boss's attitude is kind and pleasant, and the service attitude is very good. I will buy it again next time.

The set includes an MRT pass that can be used in Kaohsiung and various other items. The MRT pass has the very popular Mikan Stationmaster on it, which made me very excited. You can get shaved ice as an option, but the name of the shop was translated by AI, so I had no idea what it meant.

A famous shaved ice shop near the port. They use a variety of fruits and everything is delicious. I thought the amount of shaved ice was a lot, but we ate it all up in one go. The shop staff were very kind to us even though we didn't know about the coronavirus. I'm very grateful. The other shaved ice looked delicious too.

When we arrived at the scene, many customers also exchanged e-tickets. The food was indeed delicious, the boss’s smile was bright and made people feel good, and the location was easy to find.

super easy to enter the zoo. just scan the qr code individually at the zoo gantry gate. the zoo is of a nice size that is not too overwhelming. eating areas are equipped with cages to prevent attack from animals - this is a good idea which can be replicated in other zoos.

I participated in the Kaohsiung one-day tour. There were 6 people in an 8-seater vehicle and 3 people in a 4-seater vehicle. 1. Depart for Qijin District at 11 AM 2. Have lunch at 'Feng Zhai Zhan' at 1 PM 3. Have mango shaved ice at 'Fu Quan', a shaved ice street 4. Go shopping at 'Zhan Er Ku' at 3 PM 5. Ai River at 4 PM 6. Meilidao Station at 5 PM 7. Nearby night market at 5:30 PM 8. Take-out food at Hanshin Department Store food court at 6 PM 9. Return to accommodation at 7 PM. This was the route. The driver was punctual, communication was smooth using a translator, there was absolutely no other purchasing suggestions, and he was so gentle and kind that I regretted that our relationship only lasted for one day. I would especially like to express my gratitude to Tony, the driver for RDG-9662.

The meal coupons purchased using KLOOK are really cost-effective. I have purchased them many times and saved a lot of money. The meals are delicious and the store is very welcoming. I will buy them again if necessary.
