Booking tickets is very convenient. You can redeem the QR code directly using the app, eliminating the hassle and time-consuming of queuing to exchange tickets. It only takes about forty-five minutes from Kaohsiung to Taichung.

Crystal was a phenominal tour guide and an excellent organizer! I went to the tour a day after a typhoon and when we arrived in Yehliu, the place was closed. But she stayed calm and we went to the Heping Island geopark instead. I highly recommend this tour.
