Travel Tips

Since there is no on-site parking, if you’re driving, use the paid public parking lot two blocks west of Zhonghua Road, a five-minute walk from the BnB. The host speaks only Chinese, so have a translation app handy if you don’t speak Mandarin. Come hungry: Huwei is famous for its teppanyaki, beef soup, and sugarcane desserts, most of which are within 10 minutes of the BnB. Book in advance during harvest season (late autumn) and local festival weekends, as this popular small BnB fills up quickly.
