Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are just a short drive from the property:

• Houwan Beach: A 2-minute walk from the hostel, this sheltered crescent beach has soft golden sand and calm, shallow waters perfect for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and leisurely sunset strolls. Far less crowded than Kenting’s main beach, it’s ideal for families and travelers seeking quiet.
• Kenting National Park Forest Recreation Area: A 15-minute drive south, this 1,500-hectare coastal rainforest boasts towering banyan trees, scenic hiking trails, the iconic Guanfu Mountain viewpoint, and unique tropical wildlife, including macaques and king cobras.
• National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium: A 10-minute drive north in Checheng, this world-class aquarium features a 81-meter-long underwater tunnel, whale shark exhibits, and interactive displays perfect for travelers of all ages.

Travel Tips

Book your room well in advance during peak season (June to August and Chinese New Year) to secure a sea-view balcony room. Most hosts speak only Mandarin, so use a translation app if you do not speak Chinese to avoid miscommunication. Pack reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes for exploring nearby rocky coastlines. If you plan to visit the aquarium, ask the front desk for discounted entry tickets—many local accommodations partner with the museum to offer exclusive rates to guests. Finally, don’t miss catching sunset from your private balcony: the unobstructed view over the Taiwan Strait is one of Kenting’s best kept secrets.
