Travel Tips

If you’re visiting during peak weekends or Chinese national holidays, book your room at least two weeks in advance, as family rooms fill up quickly. Stop by the nearby Jiaoxi Night Market (a 10-minute walk from the homestay) to try local specialties like spicy hot pot and yam balls. Keep in mind the building’s elevator serves all floors, so travelers with heavy luggage won’t have to carry bags up stairs. For day trips, the Jiaoxi Train Station is just a 10-minute walk away, making it easy to reach other Yilan attractions like Luodong Forestry Culture Park if you want to extend your exploration.
