The experience

Seven hours is enough to move through multiple Taipei districts without rushing. The tour starts with Tamkang University, the primary filming location where the cast first appeared on screen, then moves to Tamsui Old Street: the neighborhood where the story unfolds. You'll stop at PS Bubu Café, the actual restaurant where Shan Cai and Dao Ming Si had their first date in the show, and sit down for one glass of black tea while you're there. The guide walks you through each location and explains what happened in the scenes filmed there.

Between stops you'll taste local street food at different points around the city, getting a sense of how Taipei's neighborhoods connect. Rainbow Riverside Park is another stop on the route, offering views that frame the city differently than the crowded commercial streets. The pace is built around seeing the places without standing still too long: the guide moves the group through each district so the day holds together as a single narrative rather than a list of checkboxes.

Raohe Street Night Market closes out the tour. It's popular with foreign visitors and stays lively into the evening, so the timing works: you finish where the energy is highest and can stay longer if you want to eat dinner there or wander. Shuttle transport picks you up and drops you off, and the guide speaks English or Chinese depending on the group. Insurance is included in the price.
