Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable spots are just a short drive from the homestay:

• Kenting National Park: 20 minutes south, this iconic coastal reserve boasts white sand beaches, dramatic coral cliffs, and diverse subtropical forest. Hike the Laomei Green Reef trail or relax on the soft shores of Baisha Bay, where the 2008 movie *Cape No. 7* was filmed.
• National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium: A 10-minute drive away, this world-class museum is one of Taiwan’s most popular family attractions. Walk through the 81-meter-long underwater tunnel, get up close to whale sharks, and learn about the marine ecosystems of the Indo-Pacific.
• Jialeshui Coast: 25 minutes from the homestay, this dramatic windswept coastline is famous for its unique sandstone rock formations and great surfing conditions. It’s a favorite spot for photographers looking to capture stunning sunrises over the Pacific.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance, especially during peak summer and Lunar New Year travel seasons, as family rooms fill up quickly. If you plan to use the kitchen, the homestay provides basic cleaning supplies, but you’ll need to bring your own groceries from the nearby Checheng Township market, 5 minutes away by car. Extra towels and bed linens are available for a small additional fee, so pack accordingly for longer stays. If you don’t have a car, the homestay can help arrange local transfers, but a rental car gives you the most flexibility to explore the region.
