Taipé Workshops

Really enjoyed our lantern experience in Shifen! We booked with Happy Lantern and had a great time. The staff were friendly and took so many nice photos and videos of us. They really managed to catch some great moments, and we were happy with pretty much every photo. We also liked that we got to release the lantern ourselves, which made it feel more special. Definitely recommend checking them out if you’re visiting Shifen!

🌟 Positive Experience Feedback * International Atmosphere: We noticed many foreign travelers came to experience it, indicating the brand's cross-border appeal. * Excellent Reservation System: Fortunately, we booked a time slot in advance, avoiding long waits in line. The process was smoothly arranged. * Clear and Easy-to-Understand Instruction: Although the instruction was primarily video-based, the explanations were very clear, allowing even beginners to quickly get started. * Diverse Fragrance Selection: The site offered a very rich selection of fragrances, catering to different preferences. 💡 Suggestions and Feedback (Areas for Improvement) 1. On-site Flow and Layout * Equipment and Waiting Mechanism: The store currently has 4 fragrance stations, each accommodating 2 people (or groups). If there are many people or late arrivals, customers have to wait for others to finish. We suggest the store plan for a smoother on-site flow or provide information about waiting lists to make the waiting process more comfortable. 2. Olfactory Experience Aid * Suggest providing coffee beans: Olfactory fatigue can easily occur during fragrance testing. Although staff suggested smelling the inside of the wrist to alleviate this, actively providing coffee beans for customers to smell would be more substantially helpful in restoring olfactory sensitivity. 3. Perceived Differences Between 10ml Plan and 30ml Upgrade * Packaging and Customization Details: * The 10ml plan purchased through the platform only provides a drawstring bag for the finished product, with no outer paper box. * The sticker on the bottle cannot be customized (requires self-handwriting). These refined services are only available with the 30ml upgrade plan. * Suggestion for the store: We understand that different price points have cost considerations, but if the packaging quality for the 10ml could be slightly improved (e.g., by providing a simple, generic small paper box, or more exquisitely printed handwritten stickers), it would give customers attending the experience class a greater sense of ceremony and commemorative value when they go home!

The instructor was very helpful and friendly. We truly enjoyed our time here! Highly recommend!

Please do this with your partner! You will not regret it. Our class was hosted by the owner Vic & his partner Lucas. Both of them were VERY sweet and kind. I was worried that the language barrier and me not speaking Mandarin might make things difficult, but they were very accommodating & understood a ton of English! Even if you don’t speak Chinese, I highly recommend trying this class. Initially my partner was very worried about doing everything on her own, but Lucas was incredibly helpful and hands-on with helping us if we were ever doing something wrong. The instructions were clear, and the ring making itself felt easy and fun. I was able to make a full sterling silver ring along with my partner that we’ll cherish forever. Thank you so much Mr. Vic and Mr. Lucas! Happy New Year 🫰🏻

I loved this pottery class! The tutors were lovely, helpful and patient. I really can't wait to see my item when the firing and glazing has been completed. Would definitely recommend this experience.

Such a fun experience that lets you leave the 2 hour workshop with a ring. The instructor is very patient and helps you through the process. The final steps are completed by the instructor since it deals with firing the silver clay and adjusting the size/polishing. Overall, a fun and creative experience.

We had a very special and meaningful experience here 💍😚! The staff were all professional and friendly, helping to check and confirm each step to ensure it was done correctly and offering advice without any pressure. There was also plenty of time for the creation process! Highly recommended!

A fun and satisfying experience. Instructor Joanna is very patient and helpful. We made a very nice silver ring and bracelet.

Everyone was very quick, but we kept running into difficulties. The staff were like angels, always coming to our rescue and carefully double-checking the patterns and text for the laser engraving. It was a great experience, and I'm very happy. Thank you! :)
