Travel Tips

Book the 3-bedroom discounted rate if you’re traveling with a smaller group to save on accommodation costs. The fully equipped kitchen means you can save money on meals by stopping at a local traditional market in Yuanshan Township in the morning to pick up fresh local produce and seafood. If you’re visiting on a weekend, leave early from Taipei to avoid traffic on the National Highway No. 5, and note that parking is free but cannot be reserved in advance, so arrive before 3PM to secure a spot for your group. Finally, don’t forget to pack comfortable walking shoes for countryside hikes, and a light jacket for cool mountain evenings even in summer.
