Hotel Overview
Bin Bin You Li is located at No. 303-8, Gangdi, Chenggong Village, Huxi Township, a 15-minute drive from Penghu Airport and just a short walk from the coast. The property offers clean, comfortable smoke-free rooms and spacious family rooms perfect for groups, equipped with air conditioning, crisp linens, bedside outlets, and clothes racks for drying beachwear. Each room has a private bathroom with a standalone shower (or optional bathtub), free toiletries, a hair dryer, and slippers.

The shared full kitchen and dining area let you prepare fresh local seafood or picnic supplies for day trips, and tea and coffee making facilities are available. The homestay offers a host of convenient services: free airport pickup and drop-off, complimentary public parking nearby, private and fast check-in/out, and multilingual staff (English and Chinese) on hand for travel advice. Family-friendly amenities include an extra-charge game room with board games and puzzles for rainy afternoons, and bicycle rental for exploring the surrounding area. Note that the property does not offer internet, a deliberate touch to encourage guests to disconnect and soak up Penghu’s slow rhythm. The property is fully secured with smoke detectors, 24/7 CCTV, and keycard access, and only upper floors are accessible via stairs.
Nearby Attractions
Three unmissable local highlights are all within a 20-minute drive of the homestay. First, the iconic Twin Hearts Stone Weir, a 300-year-old traditional fishing structure built from volcanic rock that forms two interlocking hearts at low tide. It’s one of Penghu’s most photographed spots, best visited an hour before low tide to watch the tide recede and reveal the full heart shape. Second, the Penghu National Scenic Area’s Qimei Island is a short ferry ride from Huxi, home to the stunning White Sand Beach and the iconic Little Taiwan rock formation, a natural rock outcrop that resembles the shape of Taiwan when viewed from above. Third, the Chenggong Coastal Ecological Park, just 10 minutes from the homestay, offers gentle coastal hiking trails, hidden basalt column formations, and seasonal sea turtle spotting opportunities.
Travel Tips
Since the homestay does not offer internet, download offline maps and attraction information ahead of your trip. The free bicycle rental is a great way to explore the flat, quiet lanes of Chenggong Village, stopping at local fresh seafood stalls and small temples along the way. Ask the staff for their hidden cove recommendations—they often share secret swimming spots that see almost no tourist crowds. If you’re traveling with a family, book the spacious family room in advance, as they fill up quickly during peak summer travel season. Penghu is warm and sunny most of the year, but remember to pack strong sunscreen and a hat for coastal explorations, as there is very little shade on most coastal trails.
