Get a taste of Taiwan’s ancient tea culture on a full-day guided tour to two scenic tea-growing areas just outside of Taipei. Ride a gondola into the lush Maokong hills, where tea farms and mountain views await. Meet local tea masters and learn about Taiwan’s rich tea heritage through their stories and demonstrations. Take part in a traditional tea ceremony and sample a variety of organic, locally grown teas while soaking in the peaceful surroundings.

Continue deeper into the mountains to visit more tea plantations and enjoy views of the picturesque Thousand Island Lake. In the afternoon, settle into a second traditional tea house for another tea ceremony, offering a chance to slow down and connect with one of Taiwan’s most treasured traditions. Note: In case of bad weather, the Maokong Gondola may be replaced with a scenic drive through the hills.

Duration: 8 hours and 30 minutes
