Travel Tips

If you’re visiting on a weekend or during hot spring season (October to March), book your room at least two weeks in advance, especially if you’re bringing a pet, to confirm availability. Arrive in the late afternoon to catch golden hour light on the homestay’s sun terrace before heading into downtown Jiaoxi for a bowl of famous scallion pancake and a private hot spring soak. If you plan to play golf at the nearby course, ask the homestay staff to help you book a tee time in advance. For drivers, the homestay’s free private parking is easy to access right off Manyn Road, so you won’t have to hunt for a spot in busy downtown Jiaoxi. Don’t forget to pack comfortable walking shoes if you plan to hike Wufengqi, and a swimsuit for your hot spring visits.
