Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are just a short drive from the B&B:

• Duli Stone Trench (都歷石陣): A 10-minute walk from the property, this otherworldly coastal rock formation was carved by centuries of wind and wave. It’s one of the best spots on Taitung’s east coast to catch dramatic Pacific sunrises, and the flat rock platforms are perfect for a slow picnic.
• Chenggong Fish Harbor (成功漁港): 10 minutes by car, this working fishing harbor serves some of the freshest catch in Taitung. Grab grilled swordfish or fried milkfish at street stalls, or watch sunrise over bobbing fishing boats as they return with their daily catch.
• East Rift Valley National Scenic Area: A 40-minute drive inland, this sprawling park features rolling green mountains, hot springs, and scenic cycling paths that wind through rice paddies and indigenous villages, ideal for a day of gentle exploration.

Travel Tips

The B&B only hosts Chinese-speaking staff, so having a basic translation app handy will help smooth check-in and any special requests. Book well in advance during peak summer season (June to August) and the Lunar New Year holiday, as beachfront rooms fill up quickly. Pack sturdy walking shoes for coastal hikes, and bring layers – even in summer, sea breezes can cool down evenings dramatically. Finally, don’t miss strolling the private beach after dark: Taitung’s low light pollution means you’ll get unobstructed views of the starry Pacific night sky.
