Description
We're located aside of Tung Hai Night Market (also known as Dong Hai Night Market), only 5-minute walking distance away. Although close enough, yet the location is still very quiet. And it is 10-15 minutes away from Tung Hai University and The Luce Chapel on foot, so you can totally feel the vibe of Taiwanese college students here.

We believe travel is an essential element of life, and so are many other various lifestyles. Thus, we are trying to incorporate every little good bit of life, blend all of them into our space, so what you experience here may be more than just a good night of sleep, and essence of various lifestyles.

We are talented with different specialties, such as Korean, Spanish, Cantonese, Chinese literature, photography, Muay Thai… and of course, chatting and partying.

We are hoping our diverse interests and hobbies may help you to discover more about Taiwanese culture and lifestyles, more than sightseeing and visiting attractions. Moreover, we are also looking forward to discover more about your culture, so please come and share with us.

There is only one place you should stay in Taichung. It was our first workaway and we liked it so much that we came back. The first time, we had to make a video of our stay, then we helped with the housekeeping and cleaning. The hostel is very clean so it makes the work very easy.

I went here back in summer vacation, and Taichung is really a nice place to stay in. The hostel is out of my imagination, it really gives you the comfortable feeling you have been longing of. I helped with photography to make their new postcard collection and it really something I enjoy. Got to share the room with another workawayer and ended up… read more
