Yilan

It was a fun experience creating our own Booba Milktea! We had nice pictures in the Boba museum too!!

The tour fee was affordable and definitely worth it. I didn’t feel tired during the trip because everything was well-organized and enjoyable. The places we visited were all amazing, especially the Yilan Traditional Arts Center performances, Kavalan Distillery, and Jiaoxi. I enjoyed everything so much. We also got discounts when buying products at the Kavalan store, which made the experience even better.

Hadde en fantastisk dag på Victoria Peak i dag! Jerry var en utmerket guide og sjåfør, og han var veldig omtenksom overfor hele gruppen vår. Turen var godt organisert, og vi hadde en flott tid på Victoria Peak.

Den kjekke turguiden som møtte oss, fikk meg til å tro at han var en student som jobbet deltid, men i motsetning til utseendet hans var Seong-guiden (Yong-guiden? haha) lidenskapelig, kunnskapsrik og hadde imponerende erfaring. Han var så entusiastisk og hyggelig at jeg ønsket at han skulle bli et forbilde for barna våre. Jeg hadde spesielt gledet meg til Kavalan, men på grunn av sønnen min som ikke liker at moren drikker, fikk jeg ikke fullt ut nyte det. Likevel var det en flott mulighet til å smake og sammenligne aromaene fra ulike Kavalan-typer. (Prisene i byen er billigere.) Under spa-turen anbefalte guiden et deilig bakeri, så jeg kjøpte masse ananasbakverk i Jiaoxi, basert på guidens anbefaling, selv om jeg egentlig skulle hoppe over det siden jeg ikke hadde tid til å dra til Chia Te-butikken. Det var en stor suksess! Smaken og prisen på ananasbakverket var fantastisk. (I dag skal jeg sammenligne det med 100 % ananasbakverk fra Suncake i Jiufen; det er like godt som Chia Te og SunnyHills, men prisen er mye bedre!) Uansett, takket være guiden ble turen, som ellers kunne ha vært litt skuffende, mye rikere. Jeg slapp å bekymre meg for gaver, fikk morsom kunnskap og gode minner... Tusen takk! (+ Jeg hadde lite kontanter, men han hadde en smart løsning... Det var så praktisk! Takk!)

This tour is an interesting adventure into the laidback city of Yilan, covering a varied spread of different attractions! I really enjoyed my time even though I was travelling alone, and would recommend it to anyone who would like to do something less tourist-y. A special shout-out to Peter who was a very knowledgeable local guide that planned out our itinerary meticulously and shared key recommendations at every attraction. he took good care of the group and made the effort to keep us updated at various points of the journey. it was a pleasure to join his tour and would definitely recommend his tour to others in future!

I’ve gone on so many tours around the world and my whole family agrees this was arguably our favorite organized tour ever. We started hiking to the most breathtaking waterfall (truly! and I’ve seen many). I didn’t want to leave. We saw the friendliest animals on the farm and they were well taken care of and the staff was great. The Geopark was such a cool experience to be able to cook food you pick in a natural way! Amazing. And making a scallion pancake to top it off. The only downside was that it was an extremely hot day. Hydrate the night before it case you have a hot day ahead of you. Again, best tour in Taiwan. Xu Qiyang was a very wholesome guide. He sent information ahead of time that was very thorough and throughout the tour in translated bits to give any passenger in any language needed. We will always remember this trip.

Love the kavalan whiskey visit. It was an eye opening trip. The environment was pleasant and the whiskey tasting was lovely. There was sufficient time allocated for it and we had enough time to ask the sales questions to get the whiskeys we wanted. The gelato whiskey are a must try. The craft beer visit was interesting too although i would think the alcohol is a little too much and not to my taste but the experience over fun overall. The view up in the tower overlooking the area is fun though. Taiwan Brewery as the last stop was nice. The place was big and the history of it could be seen. The Shaoxing soaked eggs are also a must try. By this time, i had too much alcohol to be able to try any beer here but the recommendation of the 18 days beer by our influencer tour mate was a wonderful recommendation. The old street was a lovely walk down history too.

Jason, our tour guide, is fantastic. He took care of us and always ensuring our well being. He’s also very patient and explain the location we are at with great details.

Wuling Farm overgikk forventningene mine i stor grad. Turen var kald og tåkete, men likevel fantastisk. Jeg trodde Wuling Farm bare ville være en rekke instagramvennlige kirsebærtrær, men det er faktisk mange attraksjoner og aktiviteter inne på området. Turstien, tehus, visning av laks/løver/slanger/fugler.
