Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Ride a bicycle from Ruifang to Hou Dong, and follow the railway. The river slowed down. In the past, it was an important mining area in Taiwan. Hou Dong is not only a cute cat, but also has many precious mining history and memories. The footsteps seem to embark on a time machine to understand the historical memory that really belongs to the monkey cave. Culture, and stories

Taste of Taiwan off the beaten track

5.00Very genuine tour, away from the tourist traps (therefore apparently "less popular" but all the better for us!). Great mix of local culture, cuisine, cycling (easy), and local mining history, with a cat village thrown in at the end :-) Henri and Shelly are most graceful hosts.
Delightful tour off the beaten track

5.00Wonderfully authentic tour - apparently the less commonly chosen option in this area, but we enjoyed it even more for that very reason. Henri and Shelly were very gracious and knowledgeable guides, showing us the little backstreets, the local cuisine, the cycle path along the train track, a hidden aquaduct, a temple, and a lively re-enactment of life in the coal mines, none of which we would have found on our own. We all enjoyed every moment of it!
A Perfect Trip Every Time!

5.00Henry and Sherry are absolutely incredible guides to Taiwan. I worked with them on multiple school trips this year, and they hit it out of the park every time. Sherry is wonderful at interacting with kids and makes complex logistics look easy. Henry has encyclopedic knowledge of every place in Taiwan we visit. Both of them always provide next-level customer service and comfort. I highly recommend Stunning Taiwan!
