Local Attractions

Three standout attractions are all within a 20-minute drive of the resort:

• Daxi Old Street: Just 15 minutes away, this well-preserved 19th-century street is lined with red-brick shophouses selling famous local specialties like dried tofu and peanut brittle, dotted with temples, art galleries, and small cafes. Don’t miss the century-old Daxi Wood Art Ecomuseum, which showcases the area’s historic woodcarving tradition.
• Shimen Reservoir: A 20-minute drive from the resort, this sprawling scenic reservoir offers panoramic hill and water views, with walking and cycling trails along its banks. Visit in autumn to see vibrant red maple leaves, or stop for fresh grilled tilapia at one of the nearby waterfront restaurants.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance, especially during weekends and autumn foliage season, when the resort fills up quickly. Take advantage of the free airport shuttle to skip the hassle of renting a car if you’re flying into Taoyuan. If you’re traveling with kids, pack swim gear for the outdoor pool’s waterslide and plan an afternoon at the children’s club for some adult downtime. Don’t leave Daxi without bringing back a pack of the area’s famous dried tofu from Daxi Old Street – it makes for a perfect edible souvenir. If you want to play golf during your stay, there is a full 18-hole course just 3 kilometers from the resort, with easy access via the resort’s shuttle service.
