For a gentle outdoor adventure, head 15 minutes away to Neimen Zihjing Temple & the Siraya National Scenic Area.

Travel Tips

Book your stay between June and August if you want to experience mango season, the most vibrant time of year in Yujing. The farm is 45 minutes’ drive from downtown Tainan, so renting a car or scooter is the easiest way to get around and explore nearby attractions. Pack comfortable hiking shoes for day trips to the surrounding hills, and bring a cooler to bring home fresh mangoes and other local produce. Finally, let the staff know if you have any dietary preferences ahead of time—they can arrange for homemade local farm-to-table breakfasts with advance notice.
