Travel Tips

Book a family room in advance if you’re traveling with a group, as these fill fast during Penghu’s peak summer travel season (June to August). Rent a scooter through the hotel for NT$300–400 per day—it’s the easiest way to get around Penghu’s islands, and the central location means you’ll be close to gas stations and all major routes. Grab a local data SIM from the airport when you arrive, since the property doesn’t offer public Wi-Fi. Finally, don’t skip the shared rooftop terrace at sunset—after a day of exploring, it’s the perfect spot to unwind with a cold Taiwanese beer and watch the sky turn pink over the Penghu archipelago.
