With a new year comes another spring, and everything we love about it. The weather is just right, the days are longer, and nature is back in full bloom. You know what that means – it’s finally time for cherry blossom season! Along with Japan and South Korea, Taiwan is a top destination for viewing cherry blossoms. With a warmer climate compared to these two countries, spring comes earlier and cherry blossoms can be spotted as early as January. They last until April in certain areas, so you definitely have enough time to plan that trip and catch these pretty pink blooms.

Private One Way City Transfers Between Taichung and Cingjing
This time I chose to charter a car back to the restaurant in downtown Taichung for dinner. I feel that it is much more convenient and faster than the passenger transportation. The operator will contact you 1.2 days before the trip and reconfirm before the day of departure. I think it’s very good! A five-person car is practical. It's the size of 8 people, so it's very comfortable~ The driving technique is also very reassuring and good.

Gaomei Wetland & Rainbow Military Community
Purchased itinerary on klook for the first time. Because of the transportation, I wanted to talk about it. I accidentally saw that the Taichung half-day tour had a very good evaluation. The time is not in time and the attractions are also good. The arranged car is very comfortable and the driver is very kind. If you want to travel next time, I will definitely come up again to find the itinerary!

Taichung Scooter Rental
When you exit Taichung Railway Station, you will see Jianguo Road and turn right for about 20 meters to reach the locomotive shop. It is easy to find. The locomotive shop will provide safety helmets with mats. They are fully hygienic. Raincoats are also provided when it rains. Intimate 👍, it is very convenient to use Klook to make an appointment, and I will repurchase next time

It's really a great experience. We are all riding the Taichung Lihpao Ferris Wheel for the first time, enjoying the highest position of the Ferris wheel, and having a bird's eye view of the entire Houli area of Taichung, which is great! Recommend to friends from afar, this trip is definitely worth it. Great and thanks ^_^

Shared Transfers between Taichung and Sun Moon Lake
I took the shared ride from Taichung High Speed Rail to Sun Moon Lake. I was worried that the number of people would be canceled. Fortunately, the trip would go smoothly. The driver's eldest brother, Mr. Wu Yixin, is very professional. In addition to impeccable passenger service, he also acts as our guide along the way. Reading, he mentioned that even if there is only one customer, he will depart for the ride! Recommend Klook's high-speed rail Sun Moon Lake shared ride with this driver.
