Things to do in Houtong

wonderful, meaningful and memorable experience that you need to try

Klook Jiufen is very convenient for group tours. The tour guide Nana is very enthusiastic to help everyone take photos and takes care of the elderly and children. He always reminds everyone to be careful!

Today's trip went very smoothly. Thanks to the tour guide NaNa for taking care of her. She was very attentive and enthusiastic about helping the group members take photos. She also recommended what to buy and what to eat. Although the weather was not very good, the atmosphere was full.

Today's trip went very smoothly, and the tour guide NaNa was very attentive and took good care of every member of the group. She takes photos very professionally and will also recommend the best location to take the photos. The weather is not very good today, but the atmosphere is not diminished!

The tour guide Pauline's guidance was very good. The guidance in three languages, English, Chinese, and Japanese, was easy to understand. However, the tour that went around four places from 12:00 to 21:30 was very busy (lol). The popular spots were crowded and we had to line up for a long time to take photos. So, although it seemed like we had plenty of time, it was actually quite tight and we often had to hurry back 😅 Even though it was raining, we were able to experience lantern making in Shifen. The shop staff took a lot of photos when we raised the lanterns, so I think it will be a good memory. Since the tour did not include meals, I thought about what to eat, and Jiufen seemed like a good choice. The other places were only short in duration... However, even in Jiufen, we would have to line up at crowded shops, so we would not have time to enjoy the cityscape or look at souvenirs. In fact, we ran out of time after eating and were unable to buy souvenirs 😅 Since we arrived in Jiufen in the evening, we were able to enjoy the atmosphere of the lanterns lit up. The Raohe Street Night Market where we disbanded was a very enjoyable night market, so it was good to disband here. The neighboring Songshan Ciyou Temple is a famous temple, so we went to pray there immediately after disbanding! I think it's very cost-effective compared to the price and the experience you can have. You can't enjoy it thoroughly, but you can enjoy it quickly, so I'm very satisfied.

The combination of natural beauty (Yehliu, Shifen Waterfall), cultural charm (Jiufen), and unique experiences (sky lanterns) makes this a must-do trip for anyone visiting Taiwan.

A must do things when you visit Taipei. The place is filled with joyous crowds ready to have their lantern experince release into the sky. Was told this is the only legal place to fly the lanterns.

We had a lot of worries about our first trip to Taiwan as a family, but choosing this tour was the right choice!! In particular, our guide, Ou Yi-ling, was wonderful in the way she guided us while being attentive to each participant, and she was the most memorable Taiwanese person on this trip. Thank you so much!! Thank you very much!!
