Nearby Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are just a short drive from the homestay:

• Three Platforms (San Tiao Wei) Coastal Scenic Area: A 10-minute drive away, this iconic rocky outcrop offers sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, dramatic sunset views, and easy coastal hiking trails that wind past sea caves and hidden coves.
• Biyeli'an (Pisilian) Pasture: A 5-minute walk from the homestay, this former grazing land turned art site is dotted with driftwood sculptures, wild flowers, and views of the coastline. Don’t miss the chance to spot wild goats roaming the open dunes.
• Chenggong Fish Harbor: 15 minutes away by car, this working harbor is the best place to sample fresh, cheap sashimi and grilled seafood, watch sunset over the fishing boats, and join the lively weekly local fish market.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance, especially during the summer peak season (June to August) and Taitung’s annual hot air balloon festival in July. If you’re bringing a pet, confirm your request and any extra fees with the host at least 48 hours before arrival. Rent a scooter or car to explore the east coast, as public transport in Chenggong is infrequent. Finally, don’t leave without trying the homestay’s house-roasted local coffee, brewed with Taitung-grown beans for an authentic taste of the region.
