Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions sit within a 15-minute drive of the homestay:

• Budai Salt Mountain: A one-of-a-kind cultural landscape formed from decades of accumulated salt waste, this bright white mound offers sweeping panoramic views of the coast and the iconic diagonal salt road crossing the wetlands. The sunset views from the top draw photographers from across the island year-round.
• Dongshi Fisherman's Wharf: Just 10 minutes away, this lively harbor is famous for its fresh, affordable seafood market, waterfront cycling paths, and the colorful rainbow bridge that stretches out over the ocean. Stop for a plate of grilled oysters or salt-baked fish straight from the day’s catch.
• Budai Haomeiliao Wetland: A protected habitat for migratory birds, this sprawling wetland features wooden boardwalks that wind through mangroves and mudflats. From October to April, you can spot hundreds of species of migratory birds, making it a paradise for birdwatchers and nature lovers.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak birdwatching season (October–April) and summer weekends, when coastal getaways are in high demand. If you plan to explore the area by bicycle, confirm your rental with the homestay at the time of booking. The nearby coastline can get windy year-round, so pack a light windbreaker even on warm days. For day trips, the homestay offers paid shuttle service to nearby attractions, making it easy to navigate without a car. Finally, don’t leave Budai without trying the township’s famous salted duck eggs and handmade oyster vermicelli, sold at small eateries just a five-minute walk from the homestay.
