Local Attractions

Three nearby highlights make this location unbeatable. First, the Taomi Ecological Park, a 10-minute walk from the B&B, is a restored wetland home to over 40 species of dragonfly and dozens of bird species, with gentle boardwalk trails perfect for casual birdwatching and nature photography. Second, Paper Dome, located 1.5 kilometers away, is an iconic architectural landmark built from recycled paper after the 921 earthquake, hosting regular cultural exhibitions and community events that showcase Taomi’s resilient rebirth. Third, Georgetown Old Street, just a 10-minute drive from the B&B, is a preserved Japanese-era thoroughfare lined with local snack stalls, handcraft shops, and traditional tea houses.

Travel Tips

Book the B&B’s paid local cultural tour to learn about Taomi’s handcraft traditions directly from resident artisans. If you’re traveling in winter, pack warm layers—mountain nights in Nantou can get cool, and the B&B’s in-room heating keeps rooms comfortable, but you’ll want extra layers for early morning hikes. The B&B can arrange paid off-site childcare for couples looking for a quiet evening, and don’t miss the chance to sign up for the seasonal cooking class, where you’ll learn to make traditional Taiwanese mountain dishes using foraged local ingredients. If you don’t have a car, the B&B can arrange paid shuttle service from Puli Train Station for added convenience.
