Glamping Sites in Xindian

Room is clean and comfortable, close to a Youbike station. Has a funny vibe, because the bathroom door has an interesting relief, and on the ceiling there is hooks and screws to be able to hang something over the bed. Don't know what for... ;)

The location is already a bit in the mountains, far from busy roads and crowds. You can hear some frogs, birds, cicadas and some local poultry. Otherwise, it is really quiet. It is effectively in some cloud forest, with a nice view to valley and a river. Of course, you need a car to get there although it is only about 1h20m away (by car) from Taoyuan International Airport. The last few hundred meters is a rather steep narrow road. Anyway, the hospitality of the hosts has been above average. They were making sure we felt happy and relaxed. They also serve dinner with some local food (I ordered a mountain trout and it was delicious). It is served in a really nice semi-open place (with a choir of frogs some meters away) just for you and your small group. Since on the day we arrived there were only few guests, we got an upgrade to a bigger family room (with three beds and more space). As for the communication, we mainly used google translate, and it was sufficient. Breakfast is served in an open place with even better views. because of the elevation and the forest around, the temperature during the night must have been more comfortable than in some lower areas like Taipei or Taoyuan. Beds in the room were comfortable, aircon was working well but we switched it off during the night as keeping the windows open was as good while it allowed some natural night forest noises in. I wish we had a bit more time to spend there to explore the hiking trails nearby.
