Nearby Local Attractions

Three unmissable spots are within a 20-minute drive of the homestay:

• Chaozhou Night Market: Just a 10-minute walk from Muhui, this is southern Taiwan’s best spot for authentic street food, famous for its oyster omelets, braised pork rice, and shaved ice with homemade mango syrup. Come hungry on a weekend evening to rub shoulders with locals and sample classic Pingtung flavors.
• Wanluan Beach: A 15-minute drive from the homestay, this quiet unspoiled stretch of golden sand is far less crowded than Kenting’s popular shores. It’s perfect for slow walks along the coast, picnics, and watching sunsets dip over the Taiwan Strait.

Travel Tips

Muhui’s hosts only speak Chinese, so it’s helpful to have a translation app ready if you don’t speak Mandarin when checking in. Chaozhou is warm year-round, but summer temperatures regularly hit 32–35°C, so pack plenty of sunscreen and breathable clothing. If you’re visiting on a weekend or during Taiwanese national holidays, book your room at least two weeks in advance, as the property fills up fast with domestic travelers. For guests without a car, the Chaozhou train station is just a 10-minute taxi ride from the homestay, making it easy to reach even without a private vehicle.
