Travel Tips

The guesthouse only accepts Chinese language communication, so it’s helpful to have a translation app ready if you don’t speak Mandarin. Parking needs to be reserved in advance, so be sure to confirm your spot when booking. In the warmer Yilan summer months, pack light breathable clothing and mosquito repellent for evening walks in the guesthouse’s garden. For day trips, the guesthouse’s tourist desk can help arrange transportation to nearby attractions like the Yilan Children’s Folklike Park or the hot springs of Jiaoxi, a 20-minute drive away.
