Things to do in Houtong

this was the best tour we’ve experienced all thanks to Nana, our tour guide. she is an expert and went beyond just guiding us but also became our professional photographer. she made sure we had a wonderful experience. do book with this team. they are exceptional.

we were in Taiwan during the Champi Typhoon so we had to cancel our first booked tour to northeast. I booked this a day before and they accepted! the tour was smooth and the tour guide was on time to pick us up from the hotel. Although jiufen was moved to first to visit when we expected it to be at night, it was fine at all. sadly we were not able to include Tiaoshi in this tour as well. the cat village was a little bit disappointing because we didnt see much cats 😂lol.

James was super friendly and kept things fun. good driving, no issues. would book James again - really nice and enthusiastic guy.

Our private guide Vincent Hsu drove a very unique Grand Starex. He is very friendly and knowledgeable sharing the history of the places we issued with recommendations on the local culture. A great trip thanks mainly to his professionalism.

Wonderful and well-organized tour! Yehliu, Yin & Yang Sea, Shifen, and Jiufen were all beautiful places to visit. Special thanks to our guide Kevin Chang for making the trip so enjoyable. He was friendly, helpful, and shared many interesting facts throughout the journey. Highly recommended, especially with guide Kevin Chang... If you want great photos & videos for social media, definitely choose KEVIN CHANG. He is very skilled at photography & videography and captured lot of of amazing photos & videos for us, He never tires of capturing amazing clicks and voluntarily took a lot of photos. Truly brilliant... Highly recommended...

Our Shifen sky lantern experience was unforgettable! We came with wishes written on our lantern and left with tons of happy memories (and a lot of photos 😄). The staff were super friendly, energetic, and patient—they made sure our lantern was ready, guided us through every step, and became our personal photographers for the moment. They didn’t just sell us a lantern; they helped create a beautiful memory that we’ll bring home from Taiwan. Thank you for making our Shifen visit extra special! 🎈✨

booked last minute and totallt worth it. Jiufen at night have lots of vibes and brightness compared in a day. out tour guide francess also accommodating and make some suggestions where to go. she also assisted us in securing a window sear in amei tea house. thank you!

It was a very nice and pleasant experience. It's a sunny day, we went there with a tour bus which walked us to the store itself, then we got given the 4-colour lantern and provided with black calligraphy pen to write our wishes, each colour represent a different area of life, e.g. health and wealth etc. We wrote our lantern inside the shop before going outdoor. There are staff using our phones to taking photos and videos of us on the train track and gave us poses to take pictures of the different sides of the lantern.
