Fast, comfortable, great! Will ride again in the future. It’s just that seats will be sold out quickly if you go north on weekends, so remember to book early. Finally, I hope there will be more options for purchasing coupons.

Needless to say, the experience of taking the high-speed rail has always been good. On the contrary, I think the add-on options provided by Klook should be more diverse and must be selected, but each option is not very attractive to me, which is a pity.

We opt for customised tour and choose certain locations to visit. Our tour operator Mr Kevin is very knowledgeable and brought us to different locations around Yangmingshan. We also told him we are prone to motion sickness and he drove smoothly and expertly around the terrain. It was unfortunate that some locations are foggy in December but we still enjoyed the trip especially when we got to Floral Clock area.

Nowadays, people who take the high-speed rail are very accustomed to using the Klook platform to place orders. In addition to the price being a little cheaper than the high-speed rail platform, you can also purchase some additional products at a preferential price, which is very cost-effective! 👌🏼

The slippers are disinfected and the master will ask about the strength. They are very comfortable and relieve pressure. Highly recommended. However, the air conditioner in the room is a bit cold.

It’s a great place for families and couples to relax together. It’s fun and offers great deals☺️Suitable for weekdays. There are too many people on holidays and you’ll have to queue up🤣

It’s very cost-effective and convenient, and you can also accumulate high-speed rail membership points. This time you can get a 15% discount and pair it with 200 yuan of items, and get a 7-11 product card!
