Great location in the tea plantations and with a lovely hiking trail next door. Very nice and helpful owners. Picked us up from the bus stop and cooked a very local dinner for us.

Picturesque tea farm stay. An official tea trail starts conveniently next to the property and has stunning views. Friendly and accommodating hosts who are 4th generation tea farmers. Their personal house next to the guest house is over 100 years old. Only a few minutes drive from Shizhou where there are convenience stores and some great places to eat. The hosts will graciously drop you into town if you ask. About 40 minutes drive to Alishan. The hosts will help you get to public transport, although we drove. Make sure you ask the hosts to try their tea. Be aware the hosts have limited English but use Google Translate very well!

Lovely location in middle of a tea plantation. Sweet people who drove us up and down to the bus stop and cooked a tasty dinner. Spacious, comfortable room with a view.

Homestay was in the middle of a lush tea farm as you can see from an aerial photo which I have attached to this review. Entrance to the tea trails was just next to the homestay which was very convenient. Room was very spacious and clean. Bed has heater which kept us warm in bed. Host was very accommodating and fetched us to/from various places in Shuzhuo. Host served us different homecooked breakfast spread for the 2 days we stayed there. Highly recommended.

The host, Mr Xu, and his family were very friendly. Mr Xu gave us a welcome tea session and an introduction to all the hiking trails near the homestay on our first day of arrival. The family also went out of their way to give us free rides to the nearby locations such as Fengqihu, locations to watch sunrise & sunset. We appreciate this gesture very much as we did not drive. During our stay, the host prepared a day of complimentary dinner for us, which was very delicious.

Warm and very conscientious service by the homestay family. They picked me up from various places that are within a 15min drive for free and bring me to such places too because they recognise that it's not easy to get around the mountains. Especially useful if you're travelling with a suitcase. Just get in touch with them beforehand on your arrival time and they'll meet you at the bus stop or train station. And you can arrange with them to bring you to Alishan in the early morning to see the sunrise (absolutely beautiful and a must!) The place was clean and the whole area is amazing. Got to see lovely sunsets with a sea of clouds on the second day.

The location of Green Incense is out of this world! Surrounded by tea plantations with views of distant mountains. I spent 4 nights here and had blue sun, misty mornings and night rain. Trails head out direct from homestay. The family are very caring and will pick you up and drop you off on arrival and departure. Also to nearby restaurants. 4 generations live here and they embody the friendliness and hospitality of the Taiwanese people. Comfy bed with electric blanket! Varied vegetarian breakfasts for me! Just go there!

The host is super friendly and helpful in providing travelling & logistic advice. He went the extra mile to send us off to the bus stop, making sure we caught the correct bus heading back to the city.

The hosts are very hospitable. We don't drive, so they even pick us up from the Shizhuo bus stop, explain the area to us, and proposed some itinerary as we wanted to walk the trails. They agreed to prepare dinner for us last minute (no prior reservation), and after dinner the boss brew us their tea. They host owned their own tea plantation. They also have hot water and heater(essential during winter). The view from the room is excellent.
