Went around the beach and university on the west side of kaoshiung and went to the long nightmarket near the waterfront, I had a good time
I was genuinely looking forward to the tour, but sadly, it fell short of expectations. From the start, the guide offered no explanation of the itinerary, leaving us in the dark about where we were headed or what we would be seeing. Instead of introducing the locations with context or interesting facts, the guide would simply ask if we had questions, which made it difficult to feel engaged or informed. The tour lasted five hours in sweltering 33-degree heat, and there were no planned rest stops. Considering the high temperature, it felt both uncomfortable and impractical to go so long without a break, and we were left physically exhausted by the end. Overall, the tour lacked organization and failed to deliver the "local" experience it advertised.
Yu was most helpful, meeting us at the cruise port and bringing us to monkey mountain via the light rail. The Shoushan Nature Park is an enchanting experience. After visiting multiple tea houses at lookout points, Yu had us speaking Taiwanese…well, a handful of words anyway. Great cardio, medicinal teas, lots of laughter, and a delicious lunch at the bottom…a truly magical experience.
Very nice tour to monkey mountain very nearby the city center, great views over the sea on the one side of the hill, and over the city of Koashiung. Take a deep breath and enjoy!
Our guide Jason was great- he knew all the spots to visit and was kind enough to drive us around in his car which was crucial for air conditioning in the hot weather! He offered to take so many photos of me and my husband and he spent way more time with us than the allotted tour. We covered a lot of ground and he gave us more recommendations for the rest of our time.
Great choice. Two of us love exploring and walking around KS city. The local delights were excellent. We love the local food a lot a lot....great choice
