Nearby Attractions

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

• Qingjing Farm: 10 minutes away, this iconic highland farm is famous for its rolling sheep pastures, the daily sheep-shearing show, and panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. Wander the trails, feed grazing sheep, and stop for a bowl of homemade sheep’s milk ice cream on a sunny afternoon.
• Hehuanshan National Forest Recreation Area: A 40-minute drive from the homestay, this alpine recreation area is a favorite for hikers and sunrise chasers. Drive to the summit of Wuling, the highest point on Taiwan’s highway system, for breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks in winter and golden sunrise over the Central Mountain Range year-round.
• Small Swiss Garden: 15 minutes away, this manicured alpine garden features colorful flower beds, European-style pavilions, and unbeatable views of the valley, perfect for leisurely strolls and photo opportunities.

Travel Tips

Since the property’s upper floors are only accessible via stairs, travelers with reduced mobility should note this when booking. The homestay only hosts Chinese-speaking staff, so having a translation app downloaded is helpful for international visitors. Barbecue equipment is available for guest use, but remember to bring your own ingredients and clean up after your meal. Book well in advance during peak seasons (October to December, and Chinese New Year) as rooms fill up quickly for the best mountain views. If you don’t have a car, arrange the paid airport or train station shuttle in advance with the homestay to make your arrival seamless.
