Tours / 1-Day Trip
Located in the northeastern part of Taichung, Xinshe and Guguan are often called Taichung’s Secret Garden. These mountain towns are filled with scenic beauty all year round — colorful flower fields, castle-like estates, and soothing hot springs surrounded by forested hills. With a private car charter, you can enjoy the perfect balance of romance and relaxation — from flower viewing in the morning to soaking in hot springs by the afternoon — all without worrying about mountain driving or transfers. Start your morning at the Xinshe Flower Festival, admiring vibrant blossoms and photo spots. Continue to the Xinshe Castle, where European-style stone buildings, bridges, and gardens create a fairytale atmosphere. For lunch, enjoy local mushroom dishes or flower-themed cuisine at one of Xinshe’s garden restaurants. In the afternoon, your driver takes you to Guguan Hot Spring, a famous Taiwanese spa town known for its smooth, skin-friendly mineral water. On the way back, stop by the Baileng Ice Bar for a refreshing old-school popsicle — the sweetest ending to your mountain escape. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, with family, or with friends, this Xinshe–Guguan private car day tour offers a relaxing and unforgettable experience.
