Top Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions sit within a 30-minute drive of the BnB:

• Dawu Fishing Harbor: Just a five-minute bicycle ride from Shangwu, this working local harbor is perfect for watching sunrise over the Pacific, buying fresh-caught tuna and shellfish from morning fishermen, and trying casual fried seafood at nearby street stalls. The harbor’s breakwater walk offers unobstructed ocean views and quiet spots for whale watching during migration season.
• East Rift Valley National Scenic Area (Southern Section): A 25-minute drive inland, this less crowded stretch of the rift valley boasts rolling rice paddies, hidden hot springs, and gentle hiking trails that wind through betel nut plantations, ideal for a half-day of exploring away from the coast.
• Jialulan Recreation Area: 20 minutes north along the coastal highway, this stunning coastal park features smooth wave-carved basalt rocks, art installations made from driftwood, and panoramic views of the Pacific. It’s one of Taitung’s best spots for sunset photography and casual beach walks.

Travel Tips

Shangwu BnB only accepts Chinese-language bookings at present, so arrange your reservation through a local booking platform or ask a Taiwanese contact to assist if you don’t speak Mandarin. Paid daily housekeeping is optional, so specify if you’d like this service when booking. Taitung’s coastal weather is warm year-round, but pack layers for cool winter evenings and bring sunscreen for sunny beach days. If you plan to cycle the nearby coastal bike path, ask the BnB to reserve a bicycle for you in advance during peak travel season (June to August).
