Taipei to Sun Moon Lake Destination Reviews

MD
Melissa D
The ticket situation was stressful as there are no counters or stands for KingBus despite our order saying that’s who we were travelling with. I asked the information desk, who pointed me to a specific departure stand. The woman at that stand told me the station had no counter for 12GoAsia so that I had to repurchase my bus ticket and ask for a refund. Instead of doing that, I asked the main ticketing counter in the station who printed my tickets no problem. The lack of clarity and contradiction wasn’t great and added unnecessary stress in a foreign country where staff didn’t really speak English, so it was hard enough to communicate without that. Despite that, the bus had working charging ports, comfortable and big seats, and a toilet. The journey was really smooth.
