Tekemistä paikassa Kenting National Park

Was a lovely, well-paced tour: The Aquarium was huge, and got to see Beluga whales for the first time! The subsequent sight seeing spots eg. Eluanbi Lighthouse, coral sand beach and look-out points were so scenic and breath-taking! The tour had 8 pax so a large van was used for the trip, with surprisingly spacious seats and leg room. Driver-guide provided everyone with a bottle of complimentary water as well, much appreciated.

Kentingin metsä on upea aktiviteetti. Suuren kierroksen voi tehdä 2,5–3 tunnissa. Siellä voi nähdä rotkoja, korallikiviä, formosanmakakeja, luolia ja rehevää metsää. Sinne pääsee Kenting Archilta bussilla 720 hintaan 20 TWD.

Olin hieman huolissani, koska korealaisia arvosteluja ei ollut, mutta käytin palvelua yksin. Ensinnäkin, he puhuivat erinomaista englantia ja olivat erittäin ystävällisiä. He sanoivat tuovansa puhelimeni, jos pudotan sen, ja selittivät kaiken yksityiskohtaisesti alusta loppuun! Ohjaaja Yuki tarkisti kaiken turvallisuudesta alkaen, joten nautin kokemuksesta todella paljon. Olin niin kiitollinen, että tähän hintaan sain kuvia, 1:1-opetusta ja hoitoa. Yleensä kokemani snorklaus oli sellaista, että minulle vain annettiin suojalasit ja käskettiin leikkiä, mutta täällä ohjaaja kysyi, olinko kunnossa, jos nielaisin vettä, ja selitti jokaisen kalan. Jos olet korealainen, varaa ehdottomasti tämä paikka! Suosittelen lämpimästi!

Se oli todella hauska kokemus! Opettajan valinta tuntui riippuvan siitä, puhuiko kiinaa vai ei. Meidät ohjattiin opettaja Anjin luo, koska puhumme vain englantia! Hän vaikutti nuorimmalta ja uusimmalta opettajalta. Valmisteluihin, kuten sukellusohjeisiin, vaatteiden vaihtoon ja siirtymiseen sukelluspaikalle, kului yli 40 minuuttia. Veteen mentiin vasta lyhyen totuttelun jälkeen. Minulla oli aiempaa sukelluskokemusta, joten luulin sen olevan helppoa, mutta aluksi minulla oli ongelmia hengityksen kanssa ja epäonnistuin kahdesti ennen kuin pääsin kolmannella kerralla veteen. Olin hieman jännittynyt, mutta kauniita kaloja katsellessani jännitys unohtui. Opettaja Anji vei meidät ilmeisesti hyvälle paikalle. Hän piti meistä kiinni takaa. Kun yritin koskettaa jotain, mitä ei olisi saanut koskea, hän veti minua hieman taaksepäin. Hän siis tarkkaili meitä koko ajan, eikö niin? Se on unohtumaton muisto!

The coach explained everything very carefully, which made it a wonderful experience for us as first-time snorkelers. The children also had a blast, constantly exclaiming at the diverse and rich marine life they saw. We were incredibly lucky to even spot a green sea turtle!

Tällä kertaa Yihui johti meidät Alangyi Ancient Trail -tapahtumassa Xuhaista Guanyinbin luonnonsuojelualueelle. Hänen yksityiskohtaiset selityksensä ja huolellinen ryhmän jäsenten fyysisen ja henkisen tilan huomioiminen tekivät matkasta erittäin kannattavan, jotta pääsimme näkemään Taiwanin erilaisia maisemia.

1. Coach: A good coach is more important than anything else, and I've experienced both good and bad ones. The first coach, an older gentleman, was very kind; he chatted with us, took photos for us, and taught us not to be afraid. In contrast, another younger coach started the activity before we were even ready, before we had fully sat down or properly gripped the handles, constantly urging us to hurry up. Although we were on the water and wearing life vests, so nothing serious would happen, these are issues of safety and attitude. (I don't know what that coach teaches, but it's best to avoid younger coaches.) 2. Facilities: The showers were old and dirty, and there were insects. I'm a germaphobe and afraid of insects, so those spaces made me feel anxious. I recommend just a quick rinse there and then showering properly back at your hotel. 3. Experience: If you're not strong, don't do this activity. You have to constantly grip the handles, and they're very slippery. I even fell into the water midway because I genuinely ran out of strength. It requires much more effort than I expected. The force was so strong that I completely lost my grip several times because I had no strength left. Luckily, my friend was next to me, supporting me.

The service was friendly and I was able to use translation apps to communicate. The facilities were somewhat dated, but once you get comfortable in the hot springs you will forget all about it!

Safety: The surfing spot is a shallow area, with water reaching about waist-level, but there are still waves. This makes it not too dangerous while still allowing you to experience surfing. Experience: After practicing your stance for half an hour, you can head into the water to prepare for surfing. With the coach's help, you can usually stand up after two or three attempts. Plus, there's a photographer on the beach to help take pictures, producing hundreds of shots per person in an hour, so you're sure to find some great ones. Coach: The coach is very kind, constantly encouraging and praising you. They have extensive teaching experience and are very enthusiastic. Location: Staying in Nanwan (South Bay) is more convenient. You can generally walk to the shop in about five minutes, and then walk another five minutes to the beach. Equipment: It's more convenient to bring your own long-sleeved rash guard or close-fitting swimsuit. You don't really need to bring much else, as there's nowhere to put your belongings on the beach. When you go surfing, all your items, including your phone, can be stored in the lockers at the shop.
