Cingjing Star LOHAS Homestay

During my recent trip to central Taiwan, I stayed at the absolutely stunning Cingjing Star LOHAS Homestay near Cingjing Farm! This place seems purpose-built for stargazing and cloud sea viewing - lying in bed you can see a sky full of stars, making it one of the most romantic homestays I've ever experienced 💫

✨ Starlight Rooms
The most unique feature is their starlight suite with a full glass ceiling design. Lying on the king-size bed, you get a 360° unobstructed view of the Milky Way. The butler mentioned that during the Perseid meteor shower in August-September, rooms here are often fully booked!

🌄 Cloud Sea Views
Perched at 1,750 meters elevation facing the Central Mountain Range, breathtaking cloud seas often appear at dawn. The rooftop observation deck comes with free-to-use telescopes for guests.

🚗 Convenient Transportation
Though mountainous, access is easy:
• About 2 hours by Nantou Bus from Taichung HSR Station
• Paid shuttle service available (advance booking required)
• Direct navigation for self-drivers with dedicated parking

🏡 Homestay Facilities
• Floor heating in every room (perfect for winter)
• DIY pour-over coffee bar in common area
• Beautiful landscaped garden courtyard
• Complimentary coffee + high mountain tea

🍽️ Dining Recommendations
Breakfast features authentic congee with local side dishes. For dinner, try the nearby "Carton King" for their signature paper hotpot - the milk hotpot and Yunnan-style rice noodles are delicious!
