Tour cultural de um dia em Smangus, Hsinchu

Smangus Village'a harika bir günlük deneyim ve ormanda yürüyüş. Bazı kiraz ağaçları ve harika doğa manzaraları gördük. Şoförümüz Chen Wei harikaydı ve çok arkadaş canlısıydı. Dağlık ve virajlı olduğu için oraya gidiş ve dönüş yolculuğundan da keyif aldım.

Smangus is truly a paradise on Earth, living up to its name as "God's Tribe." Before we set off, it was raining, wet, and cold, but unexpectedly, as we got closer to Smangus, the weather gradually cleared up. My jacket felt too warm, and I even got a little sunburned. I recommend visiting 10-15 days earlier; that would probably be even better. Currently, some green shoots are starting to appear, but it doesn't affect the viewing or enjoyment. The only minor drawback was that the driver didn't provide much of a tour upon arrival at Smangus, simply letting us explore on our own. He also smoked next to the car and chewed betel nut inside the vehicle, which made an already dizzying journey even more uncomfortable due to the smell. Although the quality of drivers can be hit or miss, if I were to come again, I would still want to sign up for another trip. Also, the departure time down the mountain is fixed, so you really must gather at the designated time, otherwise, you'll be left behind...

通往司馬庫斯部落的路線可欣賞到壯麗的山谷景色，偶爾還能看到櫻花和竹林。根據交通狀況，您可能會覺得參觀部落中最大的樹——Yaya Qparung有點趕。根據您的體能和天氣狀況，單程的山區徒步旅行可能需要60-90分鐘，由於交通管制，交通工具必須在下午2點前離開部落。如果您計劃到達神木群，您必須加快腳步。如果是櫻花季，而您只是要去山上的櫻花園，那麼所需時間會更少。您也可以只在部落裡閒逛——周圍有很多櫻花！主辦單位在前一晚建立了一個群組聊天，提供了非常清晰的接送指示和司機的聯絡方式。我們的司機曹先生非常樂於助人，他解釋了預期情況，幫助我們管理時間，並分享了關於台北的知識。交通單程旅行時間約為2-3小時。

因為人數眾多，行程改為太平山。車子很舒適，導遊張先生友善又專業。最重要的是，太平山美得令人驚嘆。我後悔等了這麼久才來這個美麗的地方！

I highly recommend this tour! Although we didn’t witness the cherry blossoms in full bloom, the experience was still exciting and spontaneous. Our driver, Cao Yudong, went the extra mile to ensure we could see and capture photos of the blossoms along the way

The driver and guide were professional, and the driving was safe. Highly recommended! It's better to let professionals drive on mountain roads 🙏 The giant tree group is incredibly beautiful, definitely on par with international attractions, and well worth a visit. However, be prepared for a long journey (and bring motion sickness medication).

雖然櫻花大部份都掉落，很多地方還是很漂亮，值得去走走。

There was a small hiccup during the trip, and we almost couldn't enter the mountain. We are very grateful to the driver for immediately contacting the company for assistance. Although some time was delayed, the cherry blossoms in Smangus had already withered, and some had started to grow green leaves. Fortunately, the weather was good, and the sun came out, allowing us to take many beautiful landscape photos. On the way back, we passed by Caibo Tourist Orchard, where we took many beautiful cherry blossom pictures.

Driver Wang Qisong's driving skills are excellent; the entire journey was very smooth. As soon as I got in the car, I automatically entered sleep mode and slept all the way to the destination. The return trip was also super comfortable for sleeping, and I didn't get motion sickness at all. It was awesome! The driver was also kind and polite, full marks! Deserves praise! It gave us a wonderful experience and memories during our cherry blossom viewing. Thank you to the driver for your hard work~~~

The cherry blossoms at Smangus are indeed beautiful and spectacular, but the itinerary mentioned Old Street and Battleship Rock, yet we weren't taken there at all?! That's the only minor flaw.
