Travel Tips

The homestay only hosts Chinese-speaking staff, so it’s helpful to have a translation app ready for check-in and inquiries. Book at least two weeks in advance during peak seasons (weekends, national holidays, and winter hot spring season) to secure your preferred room type. If you plan to barbecue, confirm your booking for the facilities with the homestay ahead of time. For travelers without a car, ask the homestay to arrange the shuttle service from Jiaoxi Train Station in advance for a smooth arrival.
