Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions sit within a 20-minute drive of the homestay. First, Jialeshui Surfing Area, just 15 minutes away, is Taiwan’s most iconic spot for intermediate and advanced surfers, with consistent swells and dramatic wind-carved rock formations along the coast. Even if you don’t surf, the coastal hikes and sunrises here are unforgettable. Second, Hengchun Old Town, a 5-minute drive from the homestay, is one of the best-preserved 19th-century walled towns in Taiwan. Wander the intact city gates, browse local handicraft shops, and try traditional Hengchun scallion pancakes at the night market. Third, Sheding Nature Park, 12 minutes away, offers easy, scenic trails through grasslands dotted with banyan trees, sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, and frequent sightings of wild goats and native birds. It’s ideal for a casual morning hike before heading to the beach.

Travel Tips

If you’re new to surfing, ask the homestay staff to arrange a lesson with a local instructor—they have long-standing connections with trusted surf schools that offer fair rates for beginners. Remember that Taiwan’s southern summer (May to September) brings hot, humid weather and occasional afternoon rain showers, so pack waterproof gear and reef-safe sunscreen. If you’re visiting during the peak Lunar New Year or summer school break, book your room at least two months in advance, as family rooms fill up quickly. While the homestay doesn’t offer on-site dining, there are several street food stalls and local restaurants within a 10-minute walk serving fresh seafood and traditional Hengchun cuisine, so you won’t need to drive far
