    Joining this tour gets to see the modern and the old Taipei City. Includes baoan temple and Confucius Temple, there’re really a great history there. Thanks to our guide for explaining those cultural stuffs! And having meal in 101 was one of my dream, now my dream came true (even better to having lunch at din tai fung)! Never forget this unforgettable wonderful tour, will definitely come back again! Thank you Taiwan! Thank you Justaiwantour!

    My photos were unable to show on my another tour, so I m gonna post it here. Despite of chiang kai shan memorial hall, Taipei 101 sits in a super urban place in Xinyi district. Lots of skyscrapers, unlike other places like jiufen or yehliu. Highly recommend that you could choose at least two kinds of tour, one to suburban and one in city area. Love the tours I had here, thank you justaiwantour!

    When we landed in Keelung port, we got in touch with our guide, unlike others we booked private tour, which make us can start our tour earlier. We visited confusious temple and baoan temple, which are impressive, but I took photos the most are “democracy square”. The weather was perfect!

    At first I heard that there’s only one din tai fung in Taipei (Taiwan) and it’s in Yongkang Street. But then I realised there’s one branch store in Taipei 101 building which make sense and smooth the tour! Din tai fung is super delicious. The temples, the culture are cool to know. Recommend this tour for travellers to know the best of Taipei.
