Nearby Attractions

Three standout local spots are all within a 20-minute drive of the homestay:

• Chenggong Fish Harbor: Just a 10-minute drive away, this working harbor is the best place to sample fresh, cheap sashimi and grilled seafood from local fishermen. Watch sunrise over the ocean, browse the morning fish market, and take a short ferry to nearby Sanxiantai for a day of exploring.
• Sanxiantai: A iconic Taitung coastal site famous for its dramatic eight-arch footbridge connecting the mainland to a small island, with ancient volcanic rock formations, hiking trails, and unbeatable Pacific views. It’s a 15-minute drive from the homestay, perfect for an early morning walk or sunset picnic.
• Dulan: A bohemian coastal village 20 minutes south, known for its indigenous culture, art galleries, street food, and surf beaches. Wander the iconic Dulan Sugar Factory arts park, catch a live music set in the evening, or catch a wave at Dulan Beach.

Travel Tips

As the homestay only hosts Chinese-speaking staff, having a basic translation app downloaded is helpful for check-in. Book at least two to three months in advance during peak summer travel (June to August) and Lunar New Year holidays, as ocean-view rooms fill up fast. Pack layers: Taitung’s east coast can get cool in the evenings even during summer, and the ocean breeze is often stronger than inland areas. Don’t forget to bring a reusable water bottle and picnic supplies to take advantage of the homestay’s picnic area with its killer ocean views.
