Nearby Local Attractions

Three standout attractions are all within a 20-minute drive of the B&B:

Don’t miss the iconic Zushi Temple, adorned with intricate stone carvings dating back to the Qing Dynasty.

Travel Tips

While the B&B only accommodates Mandarin speakers for check-in, most queries can be resolved via translation apps when booking in advance. Book the homestay’s popular themed dinner at least 3 days ahead—this farm-to-table meal features local organic vegetables and wild mountain foraged ingredients for an authentic Taiwanese countryside dining experience. Bring comfortable walking shoes for hiking the nearby mountain trails, and a light jacket even in summer, as mountain evenings are cooler than downtown Taipei. If you don’t have a car, arrange the B&B’s paid shuttle service in advance, as public transport to this hillside location is infrequent.
