「Exciting local round trip in Taiwan」
+As a birdwatcher, I spent time exploring the surrounding area and also visited Daisetsuzan. It's ideally located,about 25 minutes to the Daisetsuzan forest road and around one hour to the mid-mountain parking area. I stayed here for three days. The accommodation is located on the outskirts of town, along a river, within a commercial complex that includes a vegetarian restaurant called Jōjizai (澄石享自在).

Although I personally like dogs, I believe that, especially for rabies prevention, measures such as keeping them on a leash would help make the place more welcoming to a wider range of guests. As a commercial facility, taking such steps would likely improve its overall accessibility and appeal.
