The scenery of Taiping Mountain is first-class, the air is fresh, and the spiritual energy is first-class. It was worth taking the ride all the way from Taipei.

Taipingshan tickets cost 150 yuan on-site on weekdays, and the 100 yuan car parking fee is free for online purchases, which is not without a small bonus.

It's a very beautiful and relaxing place. It's a pity that I didn't get to soak in the hot springs. I will go there again next time if I have the chance~

Mr. Wang is a professional driver. He drove us to the Taipingshan National Park safely and drove us back safely because the road are very narrow. The forest is very green and beautiful to hike. And the hot springs was enjoyable. Thank you, Mr. Wang.

Although Taipingshan is far away, it has beautiful scenery and convenient exchange. It’s more cost-effective to buy at klook. I hope to keep this activity for a long time.
