Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are all within a 30-minute drive of the hotel:

• Sun Moon Lake: Taiwan’s most iconic alpine lake, just 40 minutes from the guesthouse, offers cycling around its 30-kilometer shore, boat trips to Lalu Island, and stunning sunrise views over the snow-capped Central Mountain Range. Don’t miss the iconic Wen Wu Temple perched on the lake’s northern shore.
• Nantou County Museum of Natural History: A 10-minute drive from the hotel, this interactive museum showcases the region’s unique geology, indigenous wildlife, and the cultural heritage of Taiwan’s native Bunun and Tsou tribes, making it a great stop for families on rainy days.
• Jiji Green Tunnel: A 25-minute drive away, this 4.5-kilometer avenue lined with towering century-old banyan trees is one of central Taiwan’s most photographed spots. Rent a bike to ride through the dappled shade, and stop at the nearby historic Jiji Railway Station for local pineapple cakes.

Travel Tips

The hotel is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, so please keep noise levels down after 10pm out of respect for local residents. While the property offers accessible parking, note that upper floors are only accessible via stairs, so travelers with mobility issues should request a ground-floor room when booking. Book your stay in advance during peak seasons (October to December, and Lunar New Year) as family rooms fill up quickly. Stock up on local osmanthus tea and preserved plums from the Nantou City night market, a 15-minute walk from the hotel, to enjoy back on the guesthouse’s terrace after a long day of exploring.
