5.00It’s such a fun day to spent in Yilan with the guide Paul. He knows the best of Yilan☺️. We went to Kavalan Winery. It’s such a pleasant place to visit and the whiskey is the best gift to bring home. Later on we went to a dried fruits shop and a soap store. The preserved sour orange is from local and it taste so original and healthy… so many other kinds of dried fruits and drinks are also made locally. The soap stores are refreshing for a warm day to visit. I can spend an hour in the sweet world of scent of essential oils and soaps made there using local herbs and plants. Later that day we went to see the quiet Plum lake and my daughter gave me a ride in the electric bike, it was specifically fun for her😆. At the end of the day Paul showed us the traditional culture village. It’s impressive how the old tradition and culture was described in new form in the same media like paper, porcelain, precious stones, fabrics and even stage shows. Of course we enjoyed food and snacks too. It’s a happy day, and Paul is so helpful and down to earth. Thank you Paul!

5.00Our group of 3 enjoyed all the stops on our tour. The Kavalan Distillery - were we were able to mix our own blend straight from the cask in the whiskey lab - was more enjoyable after the tour because our increased appreciation for the subtleties in the distillery process. We also enjoyed Dou Temple overlooking the lake. Feelings of serenity seemed to calm the soul while our eyes enjoyed a great view into the valley. Our guide Paul shared many facts and historical stories for all the places we visited making the entire experience very memorable.
