Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are all within a 25-minute drive of the homestay:

• Kenting National Park: Taiwan’s oldest national park boasts dramatic cliffside coastal trails, crystal-clear bays, and rare tropical ecosystems. Don’t miss the view at Eluanbi Lighthouse, known as the “Light of East Asia,” for sweeping ocean panoramas.
• Jialeshui Coast: Famous for its unique sandstone rock formations carved by wind and sea, this stretch of coast is a favorite for surfers and landscape photographers. The raw, untamed shoreline is far less crowded than Kenting’s main beaches.
• Hengchun Old Town: Just 10 minutes from the homestay, this well-preserved 19th-century walled town is home to historic city gates, traditional street food stalls, and the charming A Hou Old Street, perfect for an afternoon of browsing and snacking on local delicacies like braised pork rice and mango shaved ice.

Travel Tips

Book your stay at least two months in advance for peak season (June to August, and Lunar New Year), as rooms fill up fast. Bring cash for paid activities and extra services, as the homestay does not always accept card payments for small add-ons. If you’re traveling without a car, book the homestay’s airport shuttle in advance to avoid waiting for public transport in the heat. Finally, don’t leave without stopping at a local pineapple stand near the homestay on your way out—Pingtung’s golden pineapples are some of the sweetest in the world.
