Local Attractions

Three standout nearby attractions make this homestay an ideal base. First, Gangshan Lushan Trail is a 10-minute drive away: a gentle 3km hiking path that winds through lush subtropical forest, ending at a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the Kaohsiung skyline and the Taiwan Strait, perfect for sunrise hikes. Second, Gangshan Old Street is just a 15-minute walk from the hotel, where you can sample local specialties like crispy goose, sesame oil chicken soup, and traditional handmade taro cakes, lined with well-preserved 1950s shophouses. Third, The Kaohsiung Museum of Shadow Puppetry is 5 minutes by car, housing a stunning collection of traditional leather puppets and hosting regular live performances that offer a fascinating insight into southern Taiwan’s folk culture.

Travel Tips

Book your parking spot at least three days in advance, as spots are limited, though free street parking is also available nearby for smaller cars. If you’re traveling without a car, take the Kaohsiung MRT Red Line to Gangshan Station, then a 10-minute taxi ride to the property for under NT$100. Don’t miss the homestay’s home-brewed coffee at the on-site cafe—many guests rate it as one of the best in northern Kaohsiung. Finally, if you plan to day trip to central Kaohsiung, the MRT station connects directly to Liuhe Night Market and Formosa Boulevard Station in 25 minutes, making this quiet homestay a peaceful retreat after a busy day of sightseeing.
