Travel Tips

Mu sun Villa is a whole-villa rental, so book well in advance, especially for weekends and holiday periods, as it books up quickly. Since the villa has a full kitchen, stop at the nearby Dongshan Night Market (10 minutes drive) to pick up local snacks and fresh produce for your barbecue. Note that upper floors are only accessible via stairs, so travelers with limited mobility should request a first-floor room when booking. If you’re traveling without a car, you can take a 15-minute taxi from Luodong Train Station to reach the villa directly.
