I can see the sunset from the patio of your room. The room was clean and warm, however the bathroom was a little old. Breakfast was delicious, and service was wonderful. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful location, friendly staff. Great views and lovely birds singing. The walls are very thin, we could hear the water running when the neighbors showered or bathed and used their jacuzzi tub - it was very noisy. Our shower/tub could use a curtain as the water sprayed all over the bathroom and the floor got super wet. The breakfast choices were extensive (if you are Chinese) we basically had some toast and peanut butter and jelly. Lots of steep stairs to climb up and down to the parking area, the hotel used a small car to transport our bags down to the bedroom.
We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel that caters mostly to local tour groups. Our room on the top level of Building C (#321) was clean and well maintained, with an amazing view of the valley below. The staff was friendly and helpful but spoke limited English. The hotel offers complimentary Taiwanese style breakfast and a low cost hotpot dinner.
The property is located along the Fushan Trail, with a sunrise observation platform within 20 minute walk from the hotel. This is not the popular Zhushan sunrise observation platform in the Alishan National Forest Recreation Area, but the view is still nice and is less crowded. The Alishan National Forest Recreation Area is a 40-min drive from the hotel so one needs a car (or be part of a tour group) to visit the main attraction.
The hotel is built on a steep slope so it will be challenging for the elderly who cannot handle lots of steps (no elevator on site).
The hotel restaurant serves the same breakfast and hotpot dinner everyday, so one needs to drive 15 mins or so to the nearby town for restaurants with more choices.
One quirky policy of the hotel is that they do not provide hot water between 11 am and 4 pm (between check out time and check in time), which is not convenient for those who stay at the hotel for more than one day.
To accommodate those who do not read Chinese, the hotel should have English signage to direct the drivers to the property. Providing in-room safe will also be very helpful to international travelers.
B&B nestled in the hill country 30 minutes from Alishan National Park/visitor area. We were upgraded to a room with a view and two King’s beds. The staffs are very courteous, helpful, and engaging, make the guests feel at home. The facility is well maintained. No pest intrusion into the cabin. A 20 min walk/hike to see Alishan sunrise.(level is moderate)

The setting and view were very nice; however, the bathroom was really outdated. The breakfast had a good selection, but the taste was average. The sunrise and trail were pretty, given the overall value, I would not stay there again.

The staff was not very helpful- not very handicapped accessible- did not allow early check in - the views were beautiful!!!
Spacious rooms with breathtaking views. We got upgraded from a twin beds room to a twin kings room. The facility is clean and quiet but only thing is the building are built by wood so therefore very little sound proof! You can hear people talk outside and floor above you moving furniture or walking.. property is surrounded by mountains/ tea plantations so it’s not close to anything. Breakfast was decent and the only choice for dinner was hotpot. You pay extra for it. It was good but if you’re not a fan of it. There’s no other choice. Beside some loud talking guests, I did enjoyed my stay at this property.
The rooms are a super pleasant surprise! Very modern, new, clean, yet retains a lot of the local charm. Plus, jaw dropping view and absolute tranquility. Amazing experience. We can’t wait to come back
The room is big but has some dust and few dead buds on the vanity table and shelf. The toilet paper roll holder is broken and the paper roll is up on the towel rack. Lots of stair and it’s hard to carry with some luggage since you have to go through up and down stairs. The sign is not clear to find the main entrance. No early breakfast prepared but this is a place to go to Alishan to watch sun rise. Not worth the price of the room.
Great location to climb a small hill to see sunrise although it’s cloudy on the day we visited. Great food and room was clean. Great service of moving our luggages.
This is a beautiful tea growing area, with incredible views out of our room. Despite a language barrier, the staff was very helpful in making us feel welcome. They helped set us up with hikes, the bus to Alishan (including giving us a ride to and from the bus stop), and arranging a car service to take us to our next destination. We can't recommend staying here enough, including for any foreign visitors concerned about ease of navigation or a language barrier. Thank you again!
This is a really amazing gem of a place on the side of the mountain. Surrounded by a working coffee and tea farm and set amongst a trail system that one can walk to really check out the terrain. Spotless rooms overlooking the farm with all the amenities and the really fun hot pot restaurant for dinner.
Very unique and clean. It serves great breakfast with lot of variety. Hot pot dinner onsite is highly recommended. Beds are soft and very comfy. Because it is in the mountains, occasional bugs and mosquitoes could inevitably sneak in. Overall, a great stay.

Mountain stay
Stayed for 2 nights. Weather was great n chilly. There were lots of bugs which me and my aunt weren’t used to cuz we came from the city. Food is so so only. But I guess the 人情味 from the host as well as the locals made up for it. Had a great time overall. Managed to catch a sunrise from the platform nearby, lots of natural air but rather inaccessible so driving over recommended.
It was a lovely place with beautiful landscapes nearby, rooms are comfortable and clean , breakfast was delicious.
However , I just wish they could have provide some oolong tea for guest in breakfast.
Beautiful spot in the mountains. Beware there are a lot of stairs to descent go get to your room! The restaurant only serves hotpot but in 4 miles there are gooed places to eat.
