The ticket is easy to pick up and the price is favorable. The seats are not as spacious as Hexinhe United. The front passenger tilts the back of the seat slightly and hits the knee of the rear passenger, but it is only an hour away from Yilan. I thought it was a direct Yilan transfer station, but I didn’t expect that there would be Taipei Station, Science and Technology Building Station, Zhuangwei Station, etc., which took longer than expected. It is recommended to remind customers on the description page.

This trip is mainly to Yilan Taiping Mountain. The driver Xiao Gao is very caring, knowing that there are not many food choices on the mountain, so he helps prepare Chinese food in advance. Back in the city, I took us everywhere to buy authentic Yilan specialty products, which were very delicious. Very happy day trip.

As a Yilan native, I was still not very sure about the road conditions of Taiping Mountain, so I took part in the Klook tour. The tour guide Mr. Chen has a good service attitude and will guide and take pictures. He carefully counts every time and on the way. You can go to the toilet every rest time. The bumpy road on the mountain still makes people feel comfortable. I was lucky to visit Cuifeng Lake today. The weather is very good. I heard from the mountain friends that it was raining the night before. The lake on the water is the same as 10 years ago. There is a big difference in the amount of water. After noon, it started to fog and the weather began to cool down and light rain began. Seeing that the Qing Trail is beautiful and recommended, I am very happy to be able to participate in such a journey in Taiwan. It is a great experience.

The hand-cranked milk DIY experience activity is about 30-40 minutes. Most of the time for the explanation is to introduce the Yilan Qiliwan Zhennii Cultural Center. The actual hand-cranked milk DIY experience is simplified. You can bring back the cup as a souvenir after DIY. Drink it, using sugar-free creamer powder, so even those who don’t drink sweets can make a sugar-free healthy pearl milk tea hand shake drink!
