Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are just a short drive from the villa:

• Dahu Strawberry Farms: Dahu is Taiwan’s most famous strawberry growing region, and dozens of family-owned farms within 10 minutes of the B&B let visitors pick their own juicy strawberries between November and April. Many also sell homemade strawberry jam, wine, and ice cream for souvenirs.
• Sheipa Leisure Farm: A 30-minute drive up the mountain, this scenic high-altitude farm boasts sweeping valley views, grazing cattle, and trails through peach and pear orchards. It’s ideal for gentle hikes and picnics, with a visitor center that shares information about local Atayal indigenous culture.
• Miaoli Flying Cow Ranch: A 40-minute drive from the B&B, this family-friendly recreational ranch offers dairy tours, cow milking experiences, hand-made butter making classes, and grassy meadows perfect for kids to run and play.

Travel Tips

If you’re visiting during strawberry picking season (December to March), book your room at least two weeks in advance, as the B&B fills up quickly on weekends. Ask the front desk for discounted tickets to nearby farms and attractions when you check in. The mountain weather can be cooler than in lowland cities, so pack a light jacket even in summer, and bring comfortable walking shoes for hiking and farm visits. For guests with dietary restrictions, notify the B&B a few days ahead of your arrival to arrange customized meal options.
