We are grateful to have Mr Kao onboard for our 9 days trip in Taiwan.He is a professional driver,we felt safe when we explored the country with our young kids.With his hospitality,we had tried most of the sumptious delicacies of Taiwan.As an experienced father himself,he insisted my hubby to join the workshop in the paper making & crayon factory which turned out well.He got good supports from the fellow colleague/s too whenever he needed.I could see a good team work there.My children have special attachment with him.They are still looking for him even we are in Malaysia now😄.It is almost certain that who we will look for when we want to embark another amazing journey in Taiwan! Bravo Mr Kao & team!

Richard was excellent! He was always ready to help and certainly accommodating to our last minute requests and questions. Given that we are traveling with seniors and young children, Richard was able to blend the activities such that everyone in the group thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Jun was a great guide. He tried his best to accommodate to our little requests. He also went all the way to help us get to Jiu Fen safely despite the heavy rain and constrain of the the location for the bus to stop.

about Yilan - Colorful Backyard

Tucked away in the “backyard” of Taiwan, Yilan is merely an hour away from Taipei but boasts a whole lot different view. For those who have enough of the hustle and bustle of cities and are looking for a quick getaway in the open air without travelling too far from Taipei, a carefully planned tour to Yilan is the answer.

In the beginning of the tour, our professional driver/guide will lead you to Mr. Brown Castle Café, where you can savor a magnificent seascape view while sipping a cup of freshly brewed morning coffee. All fuelled up with caffeine, you’re then ready to hit the road again. At Tangweigou Park, you’re going to experience something bizarre but brilliant — a spa treatment where doctor fishes would eat away the dead skin (or keratin) of your feet, whitening the skin of feet and enhancing skin smoothness while you dip your feet into the hot spring pool. For lunch, you’ll dine at Shanzhai Monster Village to enjoy a diverse variety of items on the menu ranging from waffles to pasta and pizza, while being surrounded by (seemingly) monstrous figures in a Japanese setting. After taking a leisure stroll at Jimmy Plaza, a park dedicated to the famous Taiwanese illustrator and picture book writer, you’ll then head to Artemis Garden to have a relaxing and comfortable afternoon.

On a beautiful day trip like this, what better way to end the day than a swig of the world’s best whisky at Kavalan Whisky Distillery?
