Sanyi Township, Miaoli County｜Zhuo Ye Cottage

This place in Taiwan is simply beautiful and relaxing. It's a great spot to visit during your trip, especially if you arrive with a car. We had an awesome time strolling around the gardens and enjoyed delicious vegetarian food for dinner. One of the highlights was the affordable Tie-dye workshop, which gave us an amazing experience. I highly recommend this place for a memorable trip in Taiwan.

It's basically a flower garden with some guestrooms added around. Our spacious room and the amenities were great, didn't really expect to see this kind of fancy bathtub and bathroom equipment in this environment. There were some cockroaches and other pests lurking around but I think they can not be fully eliminated given the nature of the location. Light sleepers may also find the noises from the bamboo forest disturbing. They also provided some DIY batik session where guests can dye their item of choice (for a fee) and learn about the making of indigo dye. The on-site café was also nice, the indigo toast was quite unique. Our room fee only included the breakfast so dinner had to be paid separately. We had vegetarian hotpot and a variety of salads and other local vege dishes, not much to complain about them either.

This is a fascinating place. Built on a the side of a mountain this park is a rustic-looking village of cottages, gardens, ponds, streams, coffee shops, restaurants, vegetation, flowers and more. It's main theme is the indigo fabric dyeing process. Their products are in every room and on sale. Visitors can create their own tie-dye project. We stayed overnight in a beautiful room. We walked through the park and took dozens of photos. We truly enjoyed our visit.
