This was one of the highlights of my trip to Taiwan. The breakfast and tea were amazing, and the owners were very hospitable making me feel very welcome throughout my stay. The location is walking distance from local hiking trails (which I highly recommend) as well as the main areas of Shizhuo for food, convenience store and bus access. They also offered rides into town which was very nice of them. Also got to learn about the tea making and serving process, and signed up for their firefly tour. Can't recommend this place enough!

Back to nature, simple but functional. The owner's daughter, Ms Teng and her staff, Apple are very kind, friendly, helpful and thoughtful. They shared all useful tips about the trails and good local restaurants with us.

Very friendly owner and staffs. We were able to try our hand at making tea for a fee ( includes plucking tea leaves, rolling them up and roasting them for a bit before the master takes over). This gives us a better understanding of the tea making process. Tea is served free for the duration of your stay. Would recommend staying here.

Far from the bus stop to Alishan and Fenqihu, but the host offered to drive us to the bus stop whenever they have time. Didn't manage to catch sunrise & sunset as the host told us the wrong place.

The host are very friendly and cheerful. Breakfast was very delicious and homey, local style of porridge and dishes. Serve with coffee and their own produced tea. Great stay if looking for a place to chill and relax. Host would offer to drive us up to Alishan and to Chiayi highspeed railway station with most affordable price. The stay is near to the Shi Zhuo 5 walking trails.

Location which is handy to get to Alishan. It is clean and comfortable. The hosts were very kind and keen to please.

There isn't anything I disliked at Tianyi, but it's worth pointing out this is a real, working tea farm. There are pets and machinery and the boss sings karaoke in the basement! The common area has stuff piled up and it's not super clean. This was my most expensive room rate in Taiwan, but it was worth the money for the Alishan experience. Check if you need to pay cash as the credit card machine is not always working.

The hosts at Tianyi are wonderful. They make it a real Homestay with their genuine and personal customer service. You don't feel like a customer though, more like a long-lost friend or relative! The optional tea making and firefly tours are a joy, and the provided food and teas are authentic, delicious and never-ending! I easily walked to the Shizhou 7322 bus stop with my big pack (15 min). My lovely fellow guests from the Phillipines and I also got help with local trails and bus 7322 movements.

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.

Nothing, literally perfect. Do bear in mind it is incredibly quiet at night.

The staff are some of the friendliest and most helpful I have ever met in my travels. Although we slept in and missed breakfast time, they kept food for us as they knew we were tired from the previous day. They were also so helpful with giving tips on the nearby trails and getting around Alishan forest area!

Right in the middle of tea terrace and very nice walks, this homestay is great. The family who is in charge is so friendly and easy to communicate with. When we arrived we had tea ceremony and were suggested to experience a fireflies trip at night. It was just amazing! I would recommend 100 times!

The bathroom didn't have the best ventilation and the shower didn't have a curtain or door, so the bathroom stayed wet for a long time after showering. Not a big deal, but a new fan would probably go a long way towards improving it.

The location is excellent. It is close to various trails through the tea fields. We visited during cherry blossom season so it was especially beautiful. The hosts were very helpful and friendly (though most of them didn't speak much English). They made their tea for us, they helped us plan our visit to Alishan, they drove us to dinner and the bus stop, and when we lost a phone on a bus they contacted the bus operator to help us retrieve it.

A very friendly family who welcomed us warmly. The location of the accommodation is among the tea fields, which is very nice. There is also a parking space on the property. The rooms are pleasant, with enough warm blankets for cold evenings. A variety of Taiwanese breakfast is available.

A bit expensive at the time of cherry blossom

Great location close to the tea trails and other trails, not so touristy as Alishan scenic area. House was nice, nice bedroom, breakfast is local with tasteful tea , and toasts.

It is right next to the Love trail and tea plantation. Close enough to walk to Sakura trail. Very friendly owners who go out of their way to fetch us to/from 奋起湖 , start of walking trails as well as to 石卓 for dinner. They always make tea for us when we come back. They are very engaging and friendly. We enjoyed walking their dog OK and playing with their three cats! Although furnishings are basic, it is clean. They also organise fireflies walk for a reasonable fee. Highly recommend if you want to enjoy the Taiwanese hospitality.

Extraordinary and down to earth homestay in the tea region with lovely hosts, who offered us their own oolong tea - it was exceptional, thanks a lot!

None.

Located in a tea plantation and Very near an observatory deck where you could view the fantastic sunset when weather permits. It’s also very near the love trail where you can see the last cherry blossoms in March.

This is the right place if you want to dig into Alishan's tea culture. The team, especially our host Tin, was very pleasant, very friendly and could tell everything about tea. It is a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere, in the outdoor lobby you get in touch with the team and other travellers easily. We spent several hours in tea-tastings and enjoyed the great surrounding. Thanks for being our host!

Everything was so wonderful.

The breakfast was really good and the tea was excellent. The owners themselves greeted and chatted with us every morning. We felt so at home. They took a lot of trouble to give us rides to and from town.
