Local Attractions

Three nearby attractions make this homestay unbeatably located:

• Houbihu Fishing Harbor: Just a 5-minute drive from the property, this working harbor is famous for its fresh, affordable seafood markets and sunset views over the Taiwan Strait. Catch a ride on a whale watching tour here, or grab grilled squid and sashimi to eat while watching the bobbing fishing boats.
• Kenting National Park: A 15-minute drive south, Taiwan’s oldest national park boasts lush hiking trails, dramatic limestone coastlines, and crystal-clear waters. Don’t miss the iconic Eluanbi Lighthouse, known as the “Light of East Asia,” for panoramic coastal views.
• Baisha Bay: A 10-minute drive from the homestay, this soft white-sand crescent beach was a filming location for *Life of Pi*. Its calm, shallow waters are perfect for swimming and relaxing away from the crowds of popular Kenting Beach.

Travel Tips

Book your stay well in advance during peak season (June to August and Chinese New Year) as rooms fill up quickly. If you plan to bring a pet, notify the homestay at the time of booking to confirm availability and any extra fees. While the property is accessible via local bus from Hengchun Town, renting a scooter or car is the easiest way to explore Kenting’s scattered attractions, and the homestay can help arrange rental. Pack reef-safe sunscreen if you plan to snorkel or dive to protect Kenting’s fragile coral ecosystems, and bring layers for cool winter evenings (November to February) when temperatures drop to the low 20s Celsius. Finally, don’t leave without trying the homemade local pineapple cake sold at the small bakery just 2 minutes down Daguang Road.
