Nearby Attractions

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

• Jialeshui Coast: Just 10 minutes away, this dramatic wind-swept shoreline is famous for its unique sandstone rock formations, sea caves, and world-class windsurfing conditions. It’s far less crowded than Kenting’s main beaches, perfect for long coastal walks and sunset photography.
• Sheting National Forest Recreation Area: A 15-minute drive inland, this lush subtropical forest boasts winding hiking trails, hidden waterfalls, and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. Keep an eye out for native macaques and colorful butterflies along the way.
• Kenting National Park Main Peak Trail: Around 25 minutes from the inn, this moderate 5km hike rewards you with sweeping views of the entire Hengchun Peninsula, from the west coast to the east. It’s especially magical at sunrise, with far fewer crowds than the popular Dawan Beach area.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (June to August and Lunar New Year) to secure family rooms, which fill up fast. If you plan to join the inn’s guided activities, ask the front desk to book your spot at check-in, as popular snorkeling trips sell out 2–3 days in advance. Manzhou Township’s public transit is limited, so if you don’t have your own car, take advantage of the inn’s paid shuttle service or rent a scooter directly from the property. Don’t forget to pack reef-safe sunscreen for coastal activities, and bring light layers for cool evening hikes in the forest.
