Top Local Attractions

Happy Stay Inn’s central Hengchun location puts three of the region’s best draws within a 15-minute drive:

• Hengchun Old Town: Just a 10-minute walk from the inn, this well-preserved 19th-century Qing-dynasty walled town is home to four intact historic gates, traditional street-side markets, and cozy local eateries serving handmade Hengchun noodles and wild berry sorbet. Don’t miss the iconic Guishan Viewpoint inside the city walls for panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
• Kenting National Park: A 15-minute drive from the inn, Taiwan’s oldest national park boasts white-sand beaches, lush hiking trails, and unique coral reef landscapes. Maobitou Park’s coastal rock formations and Jialeshui’s wind-sculpted cliffs are perfect for casual walks and wildlife spotting.
• Eluanbi Lighthouse: Located at Taiwan’s southernmost point, 20 minutes from Happy Stay Inn, this iconic 19th-century lighthouse sits amid rolling grasslands with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. The surrounding park is ideal for picnics and birdwatching.

Travel Tips

If you’re traveling in peak summer (June to August), book your room at least one month in advance to secure a mountain-view balcony. While the inn offers barbecue facilities, pick up fresh local seafood and produce from the nearby Hengchun Old Street morning market to grill in the evening. The property’s upper floors are only accessible via stairs, so travelers with mobility issues should request a ground-floor room when booking. For day trips around Kenting, take advantage of the inn’s paid shuttle service instead of navigating crowded beachfront parking during peak season.
