Shang Her Yuan B&B

Shang He Yuan does not offer posh amenities like hotels but the lady owner's warmness and sincere service from the heart more than makes up for that. She even went the extra mile to help us locate our long lost relatives in Kinmen. Our stay at Shang He Yuan was indeed heart-warming!

This was a local homestay and to be honest we were a little worried at first when we booked it. But once we arrived, the owner met us at the door and was extremely friendly and helpful. She knows a little bit of english, but with my basic Chinese skills she was able to recommend several interesting locations throughout the island. The 2-bed room was large and clean, air conditioner worked great. They arranged scooters to be delivered to the front door and we left them there after we were done ($400NTD per day, per scooter). On our way to the airport, the owner even brought us to Maestro Wu's knife store and because we were with her, we received a small, free knife. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it for those with families. Only drawback is that the neighborhood is under construction so after about 7:30 in the morning there is construction equipment nearby. This didn't have any impact on our stay.

Very friendly reception and very helpful in suggesting places to go for meals and sightseeing. Felt like at hone which added fun.
