Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are just a short drive from the manor:

• Xiaoma Coastal Geological Park: A 5-minute drive away, this hidden gem boasts unique sea stacks, wave-cut platforms, and rugged shoreline trails with unobstructed Pacific views. It’s far less crowded than Taitung’s more famous east coast attractions, making it ideal for quiet photography and tide pooling.
• Chenggong Fish Harbor: 10 minutes from the manor, this working harbor is the best place in the area to sample ultra-fresh sashimi and grilled seafood from local fishing boats. Catch the sunrise over the harbor for a magical start to your day, then browse the morning market for dried seafood souvenirs.
• Dawu Mountain Forest Recreation Area: A 40-minute drive inland, this protected reserve offers cool mountain hiking trails through ancient cypress forests, with panoramic overlooks of the Pacific coast. It’s perfect for birdwatching and escaping Taitung’s summer heat.

Travel Tips

Book your room well in advance during peak summer and harvest season (June to October), when Taitung draws large numbers of domestic travelers. If you don’t have a car, arrange the hotel’s paid airport shuttle from Taitung Airport in advance to avoid transportation hassles. Pack layers: coastal evenings can get cool even in summer, especially if you’re planning to use the outdoor fire pit, so bring a light sweater. Don’t miss the hotel’s homemade breakfast (sourced from local organic farms) if it’s included with your booking—it’s a delicious introduction to Taitung’s farm-to-table flavors.
