This trip is extra special made fun by Jeannie Tan, our tour guide! She tells a lot of stories along the way and very familiar with the associated history of a place. She smiles a lot which makes this trip light and bright! More power, Jeannie. As for the trip, we enjoyed the colorful flowers, perfect for an instagrammable photo! The ice cream in Miyahara is also one of the highlights. I recommend the Venezuelan Chocolate flavor.

It was so nice to be able to go there without having to squeeze in any other schedules! Our guide Cook was also kind! He came earlier than the pick-up time and waited for us, and he was considerate when we went to the bathroom. He took pictures of our group, which was also a fun memory^^ He explained things well in English, so communication was not difficult. I highly recommend it~

Freshly fried and delicious, the service attitude of the staff is very good. Redemption is convenient. There are multiple payment methods and you can accumulate points. The only drawback is that parking is inconvenient.

the tour guide made this tour extra entertaining! Mr James Luo, thank you for being our guide today. the CP value is high, managed to visit multiple places in a comfy bus. the winds at gaomei is very strong. miyahara ice cream team is very kind, and the ice cream tastes good, highly recommend the kyocho grape flavor. oriental beauty is too mild , but is also their bestseller. the time spent at shopping mall can be shorter .

It's a very clean hotel. It's very close to Fengjia Night Market. You can stay here again. The small river next to the hotel is very clean and well maintained.
