Great experience just outside of Taipei

- Review from Viator
5.00The tour to these three sights outside of Taipei was a wonderful experience. Steven, our guide and driver, was very helpful. We would highly recommend taking this tour. Having tea in the famous tea house in Jiufen is well worth the very moderate expense.
