Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are all within a 10-minute drive of the homestay:

• Donggang Fishing Port and Wetlands: Just 1.5 kilometers away, this working fishing port is famous for its dawn tuna auctions, bustling night market, and riverside wetland trails where you can spot migratory birds and watch golden sunsets dip over the Taiwan Strait.
• Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area: A five-minute drive from Duke369, this vast coastal lagoon offers cycling trails, stand-up paddleboarding, and seasonal firework displays, with calm waters perfect for casual kayaking.
• Donggang Zhen'an Temple: One of southern Taiwan’s most important Mazu temples, this 100-year-old landmark features stunning traditional wood carvings and vibrant religious festivals, including the famous triennial Donggang King Boat Ceremony held every three years.

Travel Tips

Book your free private parking spot in advance when making your reservation, as spaces fill quickly during seafood season (May to September, when fresh bluefin tuna is in peak supply). Ask the homestay’s team for their personal recommendations for local seafood restaurants – many family-run spots within walking distance serve cheaper, fresher catches than the tourist-focused stalls near the port. If you’re visiting during the hot Pingtung summer, take advantage of the homestay’s barbecue facilities to cook your own fresh seafood purchase from the morning fish market. Finally, note that only Mandarin Chinese is spoken by staff, so having a translation app handy is helpful if you don’t speak Mandarin.
