We had a great time in Taiwan thanks to Mr Chiu. Mr Chiu had very good recommendation for our lunch and is very patient. He is also very consideration towards us as we have a toddler with us and flexible with our timing . I will strongly recommend both of them and your agency to our friends and families. Once again thanks for making our Taiwan trip a memorable one! Once again thanks for making our Taiwan trip a memorable one!

The driver is ok. Our guide Sherry is very good and takes good care of us. She is very helpful in terms of tips and she even accompanied us to the night market. The only comment I have is that in the first day of tour, she discouraged us in visiting one site which is the flower garden because according to her only 15% of the tulips. Only to find out that my friend was able to visit the place same day as ours and I saw that there were a lot of flowers all over the place. There was the piano/organ surrounded by flowers and even the iconic windmill area with lots of flowers. It was somehow disappointing not to be able to visit the place because we relied with the information that there is only 15% left.

about Taichung - Purple Lavender

In addition to Taiwan's biggest night market, Fengjia, many tourists come to Taichung for Lavender Cottage, Xinshe Castle, Carton King, and Miyahara. One of the earliest and most successful gardens in Taiwan, Lavender Cottage boasts purple lavender-themed romantic atmosphere as well as pleasant service and delicious meals. As a result, lots of couples and families flock here to take photos even though the garden is located deep in the mountains. Encouraged by the successful garden, idyllic Xinshe Castle opened shortly afterwards, featuring an artificial waterfall, a scenic pond, as well as a western manor and winery, making it a popular spot among photo-taking newly-weds. In Carton King, apart from the main structure of the building, almost everything you see are made of paper. From the outdoor animal statues and Taipei 101 model, to the indoor dining tables and chairs, everything—included a beverage container—is paper made. Last but not least, visit Miyahara, but not for an eye examination in the former eye clinic under Japanese Colonial Era. Now rented and renovated by Dawncake, Miyahara is the most popular ice cream shop in front of Taichung TRA train station. The dreamy interior in Miyahara shares striking similarity to the scenes in Harry Potter.
