Tourism Center / Comprehensive Report

Recently, a message circulated on LINE stating that until December 15, 2017, residents of Taoyuan and Hsinchu could make phone reservations for free entry, saving the NT$350 admission fee. The park confirmed the offer was real but clarified that the information circulating was partially inaccurate. This led to a flood of calls, and to address the overwhelming demand beyond their staffing capacity,the park announced yesterday (28th) that online reservations would be available, with a daily limit of 300 visitors.

As long as you are a resident registered in Taoyuan or Hsinchu, you can book a free visit online until December 15, 2017. Regardless of weekdays or weekends, there is a daily quota of 300 spots, and reservations must be made by the day before your intended visit. Bookings are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until all slots are filled.On the day of your visit, please bring the confirmation email and a valid ID of the person who made the reservation for verification.

The park explained that the offer was originally intended as a social outreach to accommodate visits from specific groups (such as disadvantaged communities). However, well-meaning netizens edited the details and shared the message on platforms like LINE, causing it to go viral. The park stated that they aim to accommodate as many visitors as possible, especially those who have traveled from afar to appreciate Taoyuan Fairy Valley, and thus decided to open a limited number of spots to the general public.
