【Taipei Day Tour】Pingxi, heaven of sky lanterns; Houtong heaven of cats

 

CNN: “hundreds of adorable stray cats” & National Geographic: “Look Inside Taiwan’s ‘Cat Village'”

 

My sister saw a piece of news on CNN introduced about Taiwan’s “Houtong cat village” where is famous for its many cats. Since we are both keeping cats, we love to take a visit. We booked a Taiwan tour to Pingxi and Houtong for both our family in many choices of Taiwan tour packages. Because this was the first time two families traveled overseas together all kids were so excited to have fun with their cousins.

In order to save time and had a quality trip, we had our own private van with an English tour guide. We didn’t need to find the road but arrived at our destinations directly with this kind of professional service. We arrived in Pingxi first and our tour guide told us that Pingxi sky lantern festival (Read Also: Pingxi’s sky lantern festival unique to Taiwan) is well-known because people flock into this area in order to see thousands of lanterns fly into the sky during the Lantern Festival of Taiwan. (Read Also: The Taiwan Lantern Festival) You could see Pingxi line and trains easily because people love to escape to this hidden heaven near Taipei as a nice getaway. We also flew our family lanterns and wrote a lot of wishes on it. On the other hand, we also hiked a bit to a higher site to see people create their lanterns from hills.

 

 

After Jiufen and Houtong, our kids enjoyed the Taipei day tour very much because of the best view from Taipei 101 (Read Also: Taipei 101: Exploring one of the tallest buildings in the world)! Since we came from the U.S., we seldom see skyscrapers like this. Taipei is not a crowded concrete jungle like NYC, there are many parks and spaces where are family-friendly. We loved our Taipei family trip to both downtown and rural areas such as Pingxi and Houtong. Meanwhile, playing with cats is our family’s favorite pastime, Houtong and Pingxi were so adorable and unforgettable in this trip.
