A Customised Chartered Trip: A Memorable Adventure for a Group of 8 Female Besties

Traveling with friends always brings out some of the most precious and unforgettable moments in life. And when a group of besties travels together, the experience is undoubtedly unique and unmatchable. Recently, a group of eight female besties from Singapore traveled to Taiwan and entrusted Abang Travel to customise their travel plan. This trip was their third time in Taiwan, and Abang Travel made sure to make it special for them. They were taken to explore some of the most beautiful and memorable locations in Taiwan and had a blast together for nine days and eight nights.

The mushroom garden in Taichung Xinshe, known as Bai Gu Zhuang in Mandarin, is a must-visit for all nature enthusiasts and mushroom lovers alike. The garden boasts over 100 species of mushrooms, all of which are meticulously cared for and grown in a natural environment.

Visitors can take a guided tour of the garden and learn about the cultivation process of different types of mushrooms, such as the prized shiitake and king oyster mushrooms. They can also witness the various stages of mushroom growth, from spore to mature fruiting body.

Taichung Harbor Wuqi Fish Market is one of the most famous and bustling fish markets in Taiwan, located in the Wuqi District of Taichung City. The market is renowned for its fresh seafood caught directly from the harbor, including various types of fish, crabs, shrimps, and oysters. It is a popular destination for both locals and tourists to experience Taiwan's rich fishing culture and cuisine.

On this day, the aunties decided to visit the Taipei Zoo in Mucha and everyone was super excited. As soon as they entered the zoo, they felt the lush greenery and fresh air surround them, and they were immediately immersed in it. While walking around, they unexpectedly bumped into a group of adorable kindergarten children and their teachers who were taking pictures. It was so amusing that everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter. The aunties even joined in on the picture-taking fun, smiling and laughing with the children, making everyone have a great time.

Watching the innocent smiles of the children, they were transported back to their own childhood, reminiscing about their own times of pure joy. It was truly a heartwarming moment that made everyone feel happy. The Taipei Zoo is not just a place to see animals, it's also a place where memories are made, and this experience with the little ones was just one of many examples.

After their visit to the zoo, this group of close friends decided to hop on the zoo cable car and head towards the Maokong station for some tea. The ride on the cable car was a picturesque one, offering stunning views of the city skyline and lush greenery. Upon arrival at Maokong, the group explored the tea plantations and savored some of the finest teas Taiwan has to offer. The traditional tea houses, exquisite tea sets, and serene ambiance made for a truly unique and relaxing experience. The aroma of tea wafting through the air and the panoramic views of the landscape were the perfect way to wind down after a fun-filled day at the zoo. Overall, it was a wonderful excursion with great company and unforgettable memories.

Next is Tamsui Old Street. Tamsui Old Street is an ancient street located in Tamsui District, New Taipei City. It is one of the most famous tourist hotspots in Taiwan. This street has preserved many traditional buildings and cultural heritage, and many people can feel a strong historical atmosphere when they come here.

When you come to Tamsui Old Street, you must visit the Tamsui Golden Waterfront. This is a very beautiful beach. The golden sand is very eye-catching and very clean. The sea here is even more crystal clear, and the blue water varies in depth. If you are tired from shopping in Tamsui Old Street, you can also buy souvenirs. There are many different kinds of souvenirs here, such as pineapple cakes, old wine, peanut candies, betel nut candies, etc. These souvenirs can be given to relatives and friends as souvenirs. You can taste it yourself, it tastes really good.

Nanzhuang Old Street is one of the famous ancient towns in Taiwan, located in the center of Nanzhuang Township, Miaoli County, with a history of nearly 200 years. There are traditional architectural styles and well-preserved monuments here, and it is one of the good places for tourists to experience Taiwan's traditional culture.

Another special location on their itinerary was the Shengxing train station, which has been featured in several popular movies. It has a unique old-world charm and offers a feeling of nostalgia. The super fun part of this station is that visitors can take photos in traditional costumes and buy souvenirs.

The group also visited the Sky Castle scenic restaurant, situated along the Northern Cross-Island Highway, which offers mesmerising views of the mountains and the beautiful scenery. The setting was perfect for an afternoon tea, and the ladies enjoyed it while reminiscing their decades of friendship.

Their itinerary also included a visit to the tomato farm in Xinzhu, giving them a chance to participate in picking tomatoes and tasting them as well. The trip came to an end with a visit to Zhanghua, where they witnessed the vibrant agricultural life and interacted with the friendly locals.

Exploring a new country with friends is an excellent way to bond and create memories that last a lifetime. The trip to Taiwan undertaken by this group of besties with Abang Travel was a unique and special experience. They were privileged to encounter the local daily lives of Taiwanese people, their scenic attractions, and food. The memories from this trip will linger on for years to come, and it stands testament to why traveling with friends is always a must-try experience. If you plan to visit Taiwan, Abang Travel is the go-to travel company, ensuring that you get the best of the country.

Note from the guide:

The average age of the travelers on this trip falls between 70 and 75 years old. Abang Travel takes great care in not only planning the itinerary, but also in making sure that the elders are well taken care of during meals. Some accommodations lack elevators, which can be challenging for aging individuals. As a result, the rooms are arranged on lower floors whenever possible. 

Before the trip, a lot of effort was put into planning to make it a memorable and bespoke experience for these seasoned travelers. They have visited Taiwan several times, and are from a bustling international city like Singapore, so it was important to offer unique, immersive opportunities that showcased the local culture and way of life. It was all about providing a balance of exciting activities and authentic experiences that the seniors could enjoy in comfort and style.

So, the other day, as we were walking around, chatting and seeing the sights, they suddenly opened up to me and shared something that really struck me. They said that every time we meet is really precious to them, because at their age, they just don't know when there will be a next time.

It got me thinking about how much the little things in life matter. A lot of the time, we get so caught up in our routines and busyness that we forget to appreciate the people and moments that make life truly special. But when you're in your 70s, every conversation, every smile, every memory becomes all the more valuable.

It was a good reminder to slow down and savor the present. To take time to appreciate the people we love, and to make the most of the moments we have together. Life is short, after all, and we never know when our time will come.

So to anyone reading this, I encourage you to take a moment today to do something special with someone you care about. Whether it's a phone call, a walk, a meal, or just a simple hug, make the most of the time you have. Because as my customers reminded me, it truly is precious.
