Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are all within a 30-minute drive of the homestay:

• Zhiben National Forest Recreation Area: Just 15 minutes away, this ancient subtropical rainforest is crisscrossed with well-maintained hiking trails that lead to gushing waterfalls, suspension bridges, and views of the Zhiben River gorge. Keep an eye out for native bird species and giant formosan cypress trees along the way.
• Jialulan Coastal Recreation Area: A 25-minute drive from the homestay, this windswept Pacific coast park features rolling grassy bluffs, colorful art installations made from driftwood, and unobstructed views of Orchid Island on clear days. It’s one of the best spots in Taitung to watch the sunrise.
• Taitung Night Market: 30 minutes away in downtown Taitung, this iconic night market serves up local favorites like deep-fried squid, mochi, and oyster omelets, perfect for a casual evening out after a day of exploring.

Travel Tips

If you’re arriving without a car, book the homestay’s paid airport shuttle in advance for a seamless arrival from Taitung Airport. Since there’s no on-site parking, drivers can use the public parking lot 5 minutes’ walk from the property. Book your stay well in advance during peak hot spring season (November to March) and weekends, when rooms fill up quickly. Don’t miss the chance to soak in the homestay’s private hot spring baths after a long day of hiking— it’s the ultimate Taitung wellness experience.
