Golden Leather Carving Studio

It’s an authentic place embedded with the tribal culture. The place is in the middle of the jungle where you get to hear birds, bugs and all kinds of nature creatures sing! What a privilege!

None

The room is located in a nice garden with good views, but you need car to move to nearest restaurants in Shizhao ( 3 km).

The water in the shower is very difficult to regulate , other is too hot or too cold. Breakfast is very limited.

The host made zongzi for us since it was duanwujie and they were delicious.

At night it rained and it was pretty loud but that's unavoidable.

fantastic host who helped with transport and pickup. The property also had lovely beautiful cats and kittens which were very fun to play with. The host also took us to see fireflies which I had never seen before and they were so cool.

no hand soap in bathroom but this can be overlooked

loved the quirkiness, originality, setting, cosy cabin, views out to the forest and tea plantations and the friendly staff. This place is a one off! It’s unusual, authentic, welcoming, rustic, cosy, rural, friendly, unique and special. Kim & her team couldn’t do enough for us, picking you up ups from Shizhao station, great local food (we had three dinners, all good, plenty to eat, unusual but interesting ingredients to add to the Taiwan adventure!), lots of chats via Google translate and she even sorted some laundry for us. Trails on the door & from Shizhao, views are fabulous, animals and birds everywhere. An excellent experience.

Nothing.

The host lady is great with communication, she does not speak English but uses a translator app which works very well. The cabins are gorgeous, so cute and beautiful to hear the waterfall outside when going to sleep. I had home cooked meals each night which I thought were great and a cute perk to see the firefly’s one evening.

You either need a car to get to Alishan or take the bus 30 minutes. She will happily give you a lift to the bus stop if you need, which I did on 2 x occasions

Setting in the mountain

Limited light fitting /plug, bath room and toilet very basic with limited space

The rooms are spacious and clean, and breakfast was included. While not centrally located, hosts offered to drop me off each day.
