Ice cream is a very common type of food all over the world. It is a sweetened frozen food made of milk, sugar and various flavourings. It may have different names and cooking methods in different countries and regions. The ingredients and cooking methods are generally simple. However, it has strong magic power that a small scope of ice cream can make most people at all ages around the world happier.

It seems impossible for tourists to have a try on each selected ice cream store in one day. Also, the five ice cream stores are mainly located in three regions. So, it is highly recommended to do this tour in three days. Due to the distance, this tour is designed vehicle-based.
