Taiwan is a beautiful land with its own characteristics. Many Taiwanese and tourists from all over the world go there to see the beauty. However, due to the preservation of the environment or the maintenance of operations, the expenditure on funds has increased, and many scenic spots have been lost. Fees also had to be increased.
Hengchun Guanshan Sunset
Guanshan Sunset, which was once praised by CNN as a world-class sunset, will also start charging from today, full ticket 60 yuan, half ticket 20 yuan (NT$).
Guan Shan Sunset has been able to attract quite a few tourists to come for pilgrimage every year in the past. However, due to factors such as land ownership, admission fees have been levied. In the future, public toilets, restaurants and other facilities will also be planned with the reclamation management office, so that tourists can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also enjoy Guanshan's five-star sightseeing.
Taipei City Maokong Cable Car
Although the Maokong Cable Car has an endless stream of tourists during holidays, it still suffers losses year after year. Every year, the city government even has to subsidize nearly NT$100 million to be able to operate it. To maintain operation, however, such problems still need to be solved, so starting from this month, the Maolan fare will be adjusted from 30 yuan for one stop to 70 yuan, 40 yuan for two stops to 100 yuan, and 50 yuan for three stops. Yuan has been raised to NT$120 (NT$), and there are discounts for Taipei residents, senior citizens, and people with disabilities.
General passengers can choose to take the EasyCard on non-holidays and enjoy a NT$20 discount on the fare.
Taitung Forest Park
Taitung Forest Park covers an area of nearly 300 hectares. Because it has Pipa Lake, Luohu Lake and trail areas, its beautiful scenery is comparable to that of the United States. It attracts more than 700,000 people to visit every year. It is not only It’s a great place for locals to take a walk, and it’s also a space for out-of-town tourists to enjoy a slow pace.
However, due to the increasing number of tourists, in order to maintain the quality of the environment, the Taitung County Government currently plans to start charging a full ticket of 30 yuan, and a senior and caring ticket of 20 yuan. It is currently launching a one-month promotion and will officially charge fees in March. . It is hoped that in the future, the increased income can be used for park maintenance personnel and maintenance facilities, so that tourists can have better recreational memories in Taitung Forest Park.
Kenting Maobitou Park Following the adjustment of ticket prices in Eluanbi Park, Maobitou Park will also start charging admission tickets from May 1st, with full tickets priced at NT$30 and half tickets priced at NT$15.
Since Mao Bitou is also a well-known free tourist attraction in Pingtung, it not only attracts travel agencies to bring groups to visit here, but also the increase in the number of mainland tourists coming to Taiwan in recent years has also doubled the number of visitors to Mao Bitou. Relevant units often receive calls from the public for this reason. Complaints about the excessive number of people in the park are due to reasons such as environmental protection, so those who take tickets hope to maintain the quality of sightseeing.
Alishan Forest Recreation Area
According to statistics, nearly three million tourists entered the Alishan Forest Recreation Area last year alone. Tickets have not been adjusted in the past 18 years. This time, the first differentiated ticket charging will be implemented in May. If overseas tourists want to enter the park, they will have to pay an admission fee of NT$300.
’s ticket differentiation policy hopes to maintain the park so that tourists inside can enjoy a high-quality recreational experience. This move will also become a precedent for scenic spots and major parks.
Although such ticket charges will make our wallets tighter, if we pay more money in exchange for a better environment, I believe tourists will still be happy to go.
