Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions sit within a 10-minute drive of the B&B:

• Dapo Pond: A scenic wetland just 2 kilometers from the property, Dapo Pond is ringed by cycling paths and willow trees that frame reflective views of the Central Mountain Range. It’s the perfect spot for an early morning walk or a sunset picnic, with local egrets often visible wading in the shallow waters.
• Mr. Brown Avenue: Chishang’s most iconic destination, this 2-kilometer tree-lined road cutting through endless golden rice paddies is just 3 kilometers from the B&B. Made famous by a classic Taiwanese coffee commercial, it offers unobstructed views of Mount Jade on clear days, and is ideal for slow walks or leisurely bike rides.
• Chishang Rice Museum: Housed in a historic Japanese-era granary just a 5-minute walk from the B&B, this small museum celebrates Chishang’s world-famous fragrant rice. Learn about the region’s agricultural history, sample fresh rice-based snacks, and pick up artisanal rice souvenirs to take home.

Travel Tips

Since the property offers no on-site parking, if you’re driving, book a spot at the public paid parking lot near Chishang Train Station, just a 10-minute walk away. The lack of on-site internet is actually a feature here, encouraging you to disconnect and soak up the quiet rural atmosphere, but download offline maps and entertainment before you arrive. Book the whole property well in advance, especially during the rice harvest season from June to July and October to November, when Chishang draws visitors from across the country. End every day with a trip to a nearby street stall to try Chishang’s iconic rice balls, stuffed with local pork and pickles, for an authentic taste of Taitung.
