Introduction

Tucked in the soft green hills of Nantou’s Puli Township, 啄雲啖綠 (Zhuo Yun Dan Lü, roughly “Pecking Clouds, Tasting Green”) lives up to its poetic name: a quiet boutique homestay designed for travelers craving a break from Taiwan’s crowded cities, wrapped in the misty mountain air that makes Puli one of the island’s most beloved getaway destinations. Whether you’re here for a weekend hiking retreat or a slow family holiday, this intimate property balances homey comfort with thoughtful convenience, putting Nantou’s best natural and cultural sights right at your doorstep.

Hotel Overview

Located at No. 25, Lane 247, Zhongxing Road, central Puli, 啄雲啖綠 offers a range of accommodation to suit every group, from cozy couples’ getaways to large family trips, with dedicated family rooms and soundproofed, smoke-free spaces throughout. Every room comes with tea and coffee making facilities, air conditioning and heating, and free WiFi, which is available across the entire property. Private and shared bathroom options are available, both stocked with free toiletries, a hairdryer, and a bidet toilet seat for added comfort.

Shared spaces include a sun-drenched terrace, a lush garden, and a communal living lounge, perfect for swapping travel stories over a complimentary plate of local seasonal fruit. For active guests, the hotel offers free bicycle rental and badminton equipment, while indoor amenities include board games, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, and even gaming consoles for relaxed evenings. Practical perks add to the ease of your stay: free private on-site parking (no reservation required), paid daily housekeeping, private check-in and check-out, and multilingual staff that speak both English and Chinese. Car and shuttle services are also available to help you explore the surrounding area.

Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are all within a 30-minute drive of the hotel: First, Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan’s most iconic alpine lake, is just 25 minutes away. Cycle the 30-kilometer loop around the water, take a ferry to the serene Lalu Island, or ride the cable car for sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding hills. Second, the Paper Dome in central Puli is a 10-minute drive from the hotel. This stunning architectural landmark, built entirely from folded paper panels, hosts rotating cultural exhibitions and community events, and is a symbol of Puli’s post-disaster renewal. Third, the Aowanda National Forest Recreation Area, 40 minutes from the homestay, offers lush hiking trails, a hanging suspension bridge, and vibrant fall foliage that draws visitors from across the island every autumn.

Travel Tips

Book your stay at least two weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons (cherry blossom spring, autumn foliage, and Chinese New Year holidays) as the small property fills up quickly. If you plan to hike Aowanda or explore Sun Moon Lake, ask the front desk to arrange your shuttle in advance to avoid last-minute booking delays. Don’t leave Puli without trying the township’s famous fermented soybeans and handmade rice cakes, sold at the daily morning market just a 10-minute walk from the hotel. For the best experience, request a mountain-view room to wake up to Puli’s famous misty morning skies, just as the hotel’s name promises.
