Introduction

Nestled in the quiet, leafy residential neighborhood of Ji’an in Hualien County, Lily Homestay (百合民宿) is a warm, family-run hideaway that puts Hualien’s most iconic natural and cultural sights within easy reach. Far from the crowded bustle of Hualien City’s downtown waterfront but just a 10-minute drive from the city center, this cozy homestay balances privacy, convenience, and authentic Taiwanese hospitality, making it ideal for couples, family groups, and slow travelers exploring Taiwan’s rugged east coast.

Hotel Overview

Lily Homestay is located at No. 20, Jixiang 4th Street, Ji’an Township, Hualien County, and it caters to every type of traveler with thoughtful, well-priced facilities. All rooms are non-smoking, fitted with air conditioning, ceiling fans, and tile flooring that stays cool even in Hualien’s humid summer months. Family rooms are spacious enough to accommodate groups of up to four, making them perfect for multi-generational trips. Every room comes with a private en-suite shower room, stocked with free toiletries and a hair dryer for guest convenience. In-room amenities include a flat-screen TV, a dedicated work desk, and complimentary fast Wi-Fi that works across the entire property. Guests wake up to a freshly prepared local breakfast served right to their room, and the homestay offers complimentary no-reservation private parking, a huge perk for drivers exploring the area. Additional services include local tour consultation and on-site car rental, so you can plan your itinerary without the hassle of coordinating off-site. The hosts speak fluent Mandarin Chinese and are happy to share insider tips on hidden spots around the county.

Attractions

Three unmissable nearby attractions are all within a 30-minute drive of the homestay. First, Qixingtan Beach, just 15 minutes away, is a sweeping crescent of dark pebbled shore framed by the dramatic Pacific Ocean, with gentle breezes and unobstructed views of the Coastal Mountain Range perfect for sunrise walks and picnics. Second, Taroko Gorge National Park, Taiwan’s most famous natural wonder, is a 25-minute drive north. Carved by the Liwu River out of solid marble, the gorge features winding hiking trails, soaring cliff faces, and crystal-clear alpine streams, with iconic stops like the Swallow Grotto and the Eternal Spring Shrine. Third, the Ji'an Keishuin, a beautiful Japanese-era Shinto shrine turned public park, is just 5 minutes from the homestay. It features moss-covered stone lanterns, towering cedar trees, and sweeping views of Ji’an’s rice paddies, offering a quiet escape from busier tourist spots.

Travel Tips

If you’re driving from Hualien City, follow Provincial Highway 9 toward Ji’an and keep an eye out for signs for Jixiang 4th Street—parking is always free and available, so you won’t need to hunt for street spots. Remember that the homestay is entirely non-smoking, so no smoking is allowed anywhere on the property, including guest rooms. Book your stay during mid-week if you can: you’ll often get lower rates, and popular attractions like Taroko Gorge will be far less crowded than on weekends. Finally, take advantage of the hosts’ free travel consultation—they can help you secure entry permits for Taroko’s more remote trails and recommend the best local night market stalls that don’t make it onto mainstream tourist guides.
