Nearby Attractions

Three can’t-miss local spots are all within a 20-minute drive of the hotel:

Travel Tips

Since the property only hosts Mandarin-speaking staff, it’s helpful to bring a translation app if you don’t speak Chinese. Book your stay well in advance during peak season (October to November for miscanthus, and spring cherry blossom season) as rooms fill up quickly. If you plan to bring your pet, notify the hotel at the time of booking to confirm availability and any extra fees. Bring comfortable walking shoes for on-property and nearby hikes, and don’t skip the hotel’s highly rated breakfast – it’s the best start to a day of exploring Miaoli’s countryside.
