What To Expect

1

Shihding Ciandao Lake

Your tour starts with a visit to Thousand Island Lake, which is located in the south of Shiding District, New Taipei City. The catchment area of Feitsui Reservoir surrounded by hills creates the unique scenery—a lake with thousands of islands, which shares the same name with the “Qiandao Lake” (literally thousand island lake) in China due to the resemblance between the two.

2

Bagua Tea Garden

The natural terrain and climate make the surrounding area of Feitsui Reservoir an ideal farmland for tea-growing, including Wenshan Baozhong tea and Dong Fang Mei Ren tea. Bagua Tea Plantation is located in this area, too. From the top of the hill, the neatly planted rows of tea look just like the symbols of Eight Trigrams, hence the name. You will make a stop here and enjoy the stunning views of the endless rows of tea plants amidst the rolling hills around you.

    Great little half day tour. Christina the tour guide is very friendly and knowledgeable about the tea plantations in the area. Took 1 year old on the tour and everyone was very accomodating. Recommend if you want a break from planning your own transport!

    Nice way to spend some free time in Taipei. Good opportunity to see scenery and landscapes outside urban Taipei. Would've enjoyed seeing how tea is harvested, processed, made (surprised the museum didn't have a simple film showing this) rather than just verbal descriptions. The museum had interesting exhibits of old machines, samples of tea leaves, and lots of tea paraphernalia, but signage was predominantly in Chinese. Enjoyed the tea ceremony in Pingling. Recommended with qualifications. Don't expect a deep dive.
