LITTLE LIUQIU: Hao Ho Homestay

Hao Ho Homestay guestroom

We spent one night on Little Liuqiu, staying at the Hao Ho Homestay. The three-story guesthouse is on a narrow, quiet street in Little Liuqiu’s Baisha town, a short distance from the ferry dock. The friendly owner-couple keep their breezy, bright-colored place spic-and-span. Rooms accommodate 2 to 12; all are large, with simple yet tasteful furnishings. Most have an appealing wood theme, and each is named after a fruit, with a matching pastel painting scheme. You can simply rent a room, with a free breakfast, or opt for one of two great-value packages, priced per person; the one we chose gave me my room and breakfast, Donggang-Liuqiu-Donggang ferry ticket, 24H scooter rental, a ticket to scenic attractions, a guided tidal-zone eco-tour, and a BBQ dinner. (Rooms start at NT$2,500.)
