Thousand Island Lake & Pinglin Tea Plantation Half Day Tour from Taipei: Pinglin Tea Museum and Tea Tasting

It was very informative and fun.

I did the Pinglin Tea Tour and our guide was very nice and helpful. We went to have tea in a cute tea house and went to the Pinglin Tea Museum, where we learned how tea was being made.

I would highly recommend this tour.

Had a wonderful experience with the tea tour in Maokong with Kevin Su. Kevin was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. He was also a great photographer and was always willing to take pics of us in the gorgeous areas we walked around.
