Escape Taipei for Thousand Island Lake, mountain tea fields, Pinglin Tea Museum, and a memorable Taiwanese tea tasting.
“The tour guide comes on time and is very informative. She also speaks good English. We did exactly what the itinerary showed. We have a mix of Western and Asian guests, and we got splitted up in the buses and during tea tasting accordingly. The tour guide mostly put herself with the Western group, which I understood that they need more of the translating service. I don't speak any Mandarin, as well as some Korean guests in my group, so most of the time we relied on the Mandarin speaking guest. The tour seemed to be a bit rushed. But otherwise, the destination is beautiful and good tea tasting experience.”
