The Driver/Guide is superb with his knowledge. I have friends coming from England and I have asked them to join this Nantou Skywalking tour.

Mr. Wu wanted us to enjoy ourselves. That was his main priority. He made sure we were able to take pictures of the best locations. We knew exactly what was going to happen next in the agenda. The overall experience was great.

Thanks for all your time and assistance during our time at Taiwan. Jay was there for us more than just a driver, he gave us a feeling like a 'Father' to us, we been taken care with so much love that made us felt like we are still in our teenage years. Me and my wife both lost our father, so being able to have Mr. Jay with us was a memorable experience. Jay has extremely deep knowledge of local culture and history, the way he explains a scenery spot truly bring us imagination back to the past. Jay has a skill to bring his stories to life, and create a safe comfort feeling when he was together with us in our journey. We would strongly recommend Jay as a symbol of Taiwanese spirit to other Asian tourist from Western countries.

As I had a private tour for 2 days with Richard, it would have been helpful if I could have gotten in touch with him earlier so that he could suggest me more convenient accomodation. It was hard to plan alone from a foreign country and a local guide's advice would have been very useful and time-saving.

about Nantou - Sky Walking

Although Nantou is a less obvious tourist destination, it is a pleasant surprise to many of its visitors. With its tranquil closeness to nature, people always find there is more to do than imagined. Be warned, this “Sky Walking” tour into the heart of Taiwan is not for everyone — you need to be reasonably sprightly to hike for three good hours and walk comfortably on the sky ladder.

Daan Sea of Bamboo allows you to embrace Mother Nature at its finest while tens of thousands of bamboos under your feet swing along with the breeze. And Zhushan Sky Ladder is another story. It’s exciting and might be a bit terrifying as you’re walking across a suspension bridge to reach Taiji Canyon on the other side. Even so, we highly recommend you to pluck up your courage because the natural and impressive beauty is truly rewarding. After the adrenaline-pumping activity (well, for some of you), we are heading to a rustic little village serving as the terminus of the Jiji tourist railroad — Checheng, with a “wood bucket bento” for lunch. The wood bucket bento is a perfect combination of local lumber industry and the single-portion takeout that miners used to have as everyday meals. After a highly active morning spent at Zhushan Sky Ladder, we can take our time here in Checheng, sit back and relax a bit before experiencing a short nostalgic rail journey to another beautiful town — Jiji.

This tour to Nantou will be a completely different adventure for most travellers and will surely delight those who like to travel a bit off the beaten path yet still expect some serious adrenaline rush. What we can guarantee is that you’ll be immersed in nature and leave feeling rejuvenated.
