Kaohsiung Passeios

Alisia, our guide, was excellent, with a soft and kind voice. She guided us in both Chinese and English, with 14 years of experience and a calm demeanor. She even sang for us, creating a wonderful atmosphere. We went on a Sunday by bus and learned that the Hinoki (cypress) trees are truly massive and Alishan is a very, very large mountain. Since it's an all-day journey, I recommend bringing snacks. Of course, there are plenty of food stalls along the way.

I was the only non-Chinese in the group (it seems this tour is more popular for hongkong/singaporean guests). Although I can speak Chinese so I let them run the tour in full Chinese, if you are the only foreigner, you can request translations into English (the driver will use google translate, but its still understandable). Do note that the tour price does not include the tickets, you have to pay for your own tickets (its not too expensive tho). Other than that the tour was good, gave me an insight to rural Taiwanese life in Pingtung and the beautiful southern coasts.

The tour was great and allowed us to visit the top Kaohsiung City attractions. It’s just that the very warm weather was challenging when going from one place to another. It was very humid in the city, which made the tour somewhat difficult for us tourists because it somehow spoiled our excitement. Everyone was complaining about the hot weather, but at the same time, we enjoyed taking pictures despite it. The warm weather was extreme, especially from noon until 4-5 pm in the afternoon. There wasn't much to see in the Arts Museum. What delighted us was the nearby train station. The pier also had a lot of people despite the extremely hot weather, which was our last stop of the day. The Tiger Dragon Pagoda was one of the best, as were the Moon Landscape Park and the Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum! This tour is highly recommended, especially for first-time visitors to Kaohsiung.

The Alishan trip was absolutely fantastic! 🌟👏 The "Sacred Trees" of Alishan are truly awe-inspiring, having stood for thousands of years. These towering "Sacred Trees" stand silently in the primeval forest, some of these giant red cypress trees are over 2,000 years old, earning them the title of "living history textbooks." We felt as if we had stepped into another world, like a fairyland. We're so grateful to our tour guide, Kai Ge. He was kind and patient, possessing extensive professional knowledge about Alishan's culture, history, flora, and fauna. Along the way, he introduced us to attractions, told historical stories, and helped everyone take photos, adding so much enjoyment to the entire trip. Although it rained heavily and was very foggy, Kai Ge drove very steadily, making us feel safe and secure. He looked after everyone like a big brother from next door, and he worked incredibly hard. Thank you, Kai Ge; it's rare to meet such a dedicated and professional guide. Our Taiwan trip concluded perfectly, and everything was worth it! 👍👍👍

It's really worth the while to join this tour as we covered all the important locations in Kaohsiung. Our guide, Woody, was kind enough to take our photos and let us discover each place at our own pace with ample time to cover all areas in the itinerary. The ride was also comfortable. Definitely enjoyable but not in a hurried manner.

The Moon World is currently under construction, so you can only go part of the way up the stairs. It seems to be lit up at night, so I think it would be even more impressive if you came in the evening. After that, they take you to the Folk Village and Qishan Old Street, and finally drop you off in Kaohsiung's Bay Area. This was a great tour because it's a route I couldn't have possibly done on my own. The guide arranged a Lei Cha experience for us at the Folk Village, which was a wonderful experience. In the Bay Area, they also told us where SunnyHills was located. They tell you a lot of things, but while you're walking, it's essentially self-guided, so I think it's more enjoyable if you do some preparation beforehand.

It was a full and enriching day tour. The guide/driver arrived on time at the pick-up location and drove very safely and steadily. The Harry Potter exhibition hall in the Ten Drum Cultural Park was excellent, and the approximately 40-minute drum performance is not to be missed. Luckily, the weather was great that day, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful sunset over the salt fields. The last stop was Dadong Night Market, where everyone could eat their fill before heading back.

100/100 will promote this tour!! Don’t just see the shiny side of Hong Kong, come and see the ‘dark side’ too and learn how the grassroot people live. Summer is AMAZING as a tour guide, sharing so much for us to learn and also answering all our questions. ◡̈ even though it was raining halfway through the tour, she still keep up her bright spirit and made the tour so interesting! thanks so much Summer!
