Travel Tips

The homestay only accepts Chinese language communication, so have a translation app handy if you don’t speak Mandarin. Book at least two months in advance for peak seasons (June to August and Lunar New Year) to secure ocean-view rooms. Daily housekeeping and room service are available for an extra fee, so confirm add-ons when booking. Stop at the local fruit stands along Checheng’s main road on your way in to pick up fresh mangoes and pineapples for your picnic on the homestay’s terrace.
