Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are within a 20-minute drive of the homestay:

• Chenggong Fishing Harbor: Just a 10-minute drive away, this working harbor is the best place to sample ultra-fresh Taitung seafood. Wander the morning fish market to watch local fishermen unload their catch, then grab a plate of grilled squid or steamed fish at one of the harbor-side street stalls. At sunset, the boardwalk offers postcard-perfect views of the ocean matching the vistas from your homestay balcony.
• Sanxiantai: A 15-minute drive south, this iconic coastal scenic area features dramatic sea stacks, a famous eight-arch footbridge spanning out to a small offshore island, and miles of windswept coastal hiking trails. The sunrise over the Pacific here is widely considered one of the best in Taiwan.
• Jhihben National Forest Recreation Area: A 20-minute drive inland, this cool mountain forest is home to soft hiking trails, natural hot springs, and hundreds of native plant and bird species. It’s the perfect day trip to escape coastal heat and explore Taitung’s diverse interior landscape.

Travel Tips

If you’re chasing the best views, book a sea-view room in advance—these sell out quickly during peak season (June to August and Lunar New Year). Since Chenggong’s best food stalls and scenic spots are spread out, renting a car or scooter in Taitung City is the easiest way to get around; the homestay’s free parking makes this seamless. For the most comfortable experience, visit between October and April, when temperatures are mild and the chance of typhoons is low. Don’t forget to pack layers—coastal evenings can get cool even in summer, and a light jacket will come in handy for early sunrise trips to Sanxiantai.
