Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions sit just a short drive from the homestay:

• Zhiben Hot Spring: A 10-minute drive away, Zhiben is one of Taiwan’s most famous hot spring destinations, with crystal-clear alkaline waters renowned for their skin-soothing benefits. Wander the wooded river trails after a soak to spot native birdlife and dramatic gorge scenery.
• Taitung Forest Park: A 20-minute drive from the homestay, this sprawling coastal park features miles of shaded cycling paths, the iconic “Black Forest” pine grove, and access to the scenic Jialulan Coast, where you can watch sunrise over the Pacific.
• Zhiben National Forest Recreation Area: A 15-minute drive up the mountain, this protected reserve offers gentle hiking trails through ancient cypress forests, with cascading waterfalls and viewpoints overlooking the Taitung Valley.

Travel Tips

The homestay only accommodates check-ins and communication in Mandarin, so non-Chinese speakers should bring a translation app to avoid miscommunication. The property only has stair access to upper floors, so it may not be suitable for travelers with limited mobility. Book your barbecue facilities in advance with the host if you plan to cook during your stay, and don’t forget to pack mosquito repellent for evenings on the balcony. Zhiben is very popular on weekends and national holidays, so book your room at least one month in advance to secure your preferred stay dates.
