For travelers in search of an experience, nothing says authentic country living like a stay at a private, working farm. Hosts might offer interactive kid-friendly activities or for couples, a cozy haven in an original/converted farmhouse. Breakfast is usually included – you may even be collecting the eggs yourself!
Staff were extremely responsive via Booking.com and picked me up/dropped me off at Shizhuo bus stop with zero hassle. Rooms are spacious, surrounding tea farm and Cloud Trail are beautiful.
Great Location in the mountains surrounded by tea farms. Close to multiple trails. Great sunset. Friendly and helpfull staff. They pic you up at the bus stop for a small fee. They provide water, public kitchen and sell instant noodles.
Tianyi was an amazing experience! The owners were super friendly and let us drink lots of tea from their farm. The views near Tianyi are beautiful and it was very peaceful at night. Great for families or groups of friends. They also helped drive us to Fenqihu to catch our train and to dinner nearby. If you’re lucky, OK the three-legged dog will even guide you on a hike nearby!
Good breakfast with good views of the tea farm.
There was also a tea ceremony included to taste 3 different teas. The host also picked us up and brought us back to the bus stop.
This was my first Homestay experience and I loved every minute of it!! I figured if I was to understand tea farming, it would be best to stay with tea farmers. The couple were so friendly and loved to tell and show you everything they knew, the touch, sight, smell, and taste of the tea, nearby local plant species, fireflies, etc. I also love all of their fur babies. They are genuinely good hearted people who enjoy the company of others. Also, the downtown is only a ten minute walk and my cousins and I went at 10 pm and felt perfectly safe!
We really enjoyed the traditional tea ceremony where a tea expert prepared 3 types of locally grown tea. It was such a calming and peaceful experience, set next to the tranquil tea farm, and made for a great start to the day. The breakfast was excellent, super delicious and nutritious. I loved waking up to the beautiful tea farm just outside the window. We felt well taken care of by the tea farm owner.
The BnB was located on a beautiful tea farm with adorable cats and dogs. The breakfast was homecooked and the hosts were absolutely lovely - they personally drove us to see fireflies at a local spot along with the other guests! Rooms were comfortable but basic. I also bought the tea produced at the tea farm which was light and fragrant.
The farm is located near tea fields with amazing mountain views. It is located remotely hence very quiet.
Room was clean and comfortable. Had a huge window with nice views.
The farm is a bit remote from the village, but that is also what makes it special. The surroundings are very peaceful. You will wake up in the morning only hearing birds!
The room was spacious and clean.
The road to access is well maintained.
Mao Hsin Homestay is a tea farmhouse. It is in the town of Shizhuo on your way to Alishan Forest Recreational Park. It is surrounded by other tea farms but not near to any shops, you will have to prepare your own meals and utensils. We love it here because it is close to all the beautiful and mystical trails, which I bet you have never seen anywhere else. The stay itself is simple but pleasant. The view from the accomodation is spectacular.
