Travel Tips

Since there is no on-site parking at the homestay, if you’re driving, book a spot at the public parking lot 300 meters from the property on Zhongshan Road. The homestay only speaks Chinese, so have a translation app ready if you don’t speak Mandarin. Book paid experiences like themed dinners and cultural classes at least three days in advance to secure your spot, as the homestay sources ingredients and guides locally. The best time to visit is autumn, when the weather is cool and dry, perfect for cycling around the rural backroads surrounding Beigang.
