Local Attractions

Three standout nearby attractions make this B&B an unbeatable location:

• Paper Dome (Taomi Paper Church): Just 10 minutes from the B&B, this iconic light-filled architectural landmark was originally built in Japan and reconstructed in Puli after the 921 earthquake. Surrounded by rolling farmland, it’s a popular spot for quiet reflection and photography, with nearby art studios selling local handmade paper crafts.
• Sun Moon Lake: A 30-minute drive from the property, Taiwan’s largest alpine lake offers cycling trails around the shore, cable car rides overlooking the water, and day trips to the indigenous Ita Thao village for traditional handicrafts and street food.
• Taomi Ecological Village: A 15-minute drive away, this restored agricultural village is famous for firefly watching in spring, guided night walks to spot native wildlife, and organic tea tastings at local plantations.

Travel Tips

As a whole-house rental, be sure to book your stay and reserve parking at least two weeks in advance, especially for peak seasons like cherry blossom season (February–March) and firefly season (April–May). If you plan to cook, stop at the Puli Township Night Market (10 minutes away by car) to stock up on local ingredients and street food before heading to the B&B. The entire property is located on the ground floor for easy access, though upper floors only accessible via stairs, so let the host know if you require step-free access when booking. Don’t forget to pack a light jacket even in summer—the mountain breeze gets cool in the evenings, perfect for sitting outside and stargazing after a day of exploring.
