Seven mistakes first-time visitors make
From booking to shoes.
The seven
Booking the mountain for one night. Scheduling three farms in a day. Assuming English. Assuming cards. Wearing trainers you care about. Buying beans on day one. Skipping the meal before a tasting.
Each one is small; together they turn a good trip into a long one.
None of these are secrets. They are just easier to learn before you go.
The fixes
Two nights, two farms, cash in the hills, shoes you can wash, and buy beans on the last day so they travel fresh.
And learn four words: 謝謝, 不好意思, 好喝, 多少錢. They will do more than any app.
