Local Attractions

Three can’t-miss spots are all within a 30-minute drive of the B&B:

• Shanyuan Coast: Steps from the B&B’s gate, this golden sand beach is one of Taitung’s most beloved swimming and surfing spots, with gentle waves perfect for beginners and quiet stretches of sand for picnics. It’s also a prime spot for watching the Pacific sunrise.
• Orchid Island Ferry Terminal: A 15-minute drive from the B&B in nearby Fugang Harbor is the main departure point for ferries to Orchid Island, Taitung’s remote volcanic gem famous for hot springs, aboriginal culture, and sea turtle sightings.
• Taitung Forest Park: 20 minutes south by car, this sprawling urban park features miles of wooded walking and cycling trails, the iconic Pipa Lake, and access to the beautiful Black Sand Beach for evening strolls.

Travel Tips

Book your stay at least two months in advance if you’re traveling during peak season (June to August, or Taiwan’s Lunar New Year holiday), as ocean-view rooms fill up quickly. If you’re not driving, arrange the B&B’s paid airport shuttle from Taitung Airport in advance to avoid waiting for local transport. Pack layers: even in summer, coastal evenings can be cool, and a light sweater is perfect for sitting on your balcony after dark. Finally, don’t miss the B&B’s in-room breakfast, which features fresh local fruit and handmade baked goods from the owner’s kitchen—the perfect start to a day of Taitung exploration.
