Travel: Taiwan - Taipei

[Blessed Homemaker]

SunnyLing, pm you


F&E may or may not be cheaper, depending on your flight and hotel fares. But at least we get to control the places we want to visit. No waking up at 6am, 7am breakfast and 8am departure. F&E gives us the flexibility to move around at our own pace.

Anyone been to Yilan? What are the attractions there? I understand there are quite a few padi fields. Are there any that we can do hands-on? I’m thinking if I want to stay over 1 night in Yilan.

Hi parent,


I am thinking to bring my boy aged 3 to Taiwan. What your opinion on this LeoFoo 六福村 (Safari resort and Amusement park). When i visited their webpage, they got few parks within the villlage, look like HK Disneyland, how comparable of this 六福村 with HK Disneyland.

LeoFoo 六福村 hotel is quite unique. It is in a U-shape format with a mini-zoo within the compound. Most of the rooms are loft-units with full lenght windows, that allow guests to view the animals in the comfort of their room. Outside, a bit smelly, afterall it is a zoo.

It has a bus drive through safari park that is filled with many (not only in type but also in numbers) animals. for example, they have some 40 or more tigers and 100s of baboons (?). There is also a train ride that bring us through another safari park filled with grass-grazing animals, like buffalos, zebras, etc

rides are quite typical theme park rides. The 1 ride worth mentioning is the water-log ride, the one that we sit in a log, go round and round and partly in darkness, then plunge down, big splash, and everybody wet. Their version has 2 plunges and the second plunge is quite high & very steep. Kiddie rides are boring and limited.

food are lousy.

Hi


For all those who are not good in chinese, could you advise how do you liaise with the driver or hotel website?

Do you email the driver in chinese?

When I send enquiry, they return in chinese, I tried google translate but sometime still don't quite understand

Also, the ONLY way to liaise with drivers is to incur the overseas charges and call them?

Thanks for all valuable advices.
