Don’t want to travel far on a holiday, but staying home isn’t relaxing enough? This is the perfect time to bring your family, kids, or partner closer to nature. Adults can enjoy tea, chat, and bucket chicken, while kids run freely without worrying about disturbing others. In the evening, cuddle up together to admire the night view, share thoughts, and grow even closer!

Got energetic kids? You’ve come to the right place. The brand-new family play area is here. This nature trip is not just about scenic views, tea, and bucket chicken — the exciting new children's zone will have the little ones over the moon. Nestled in Guanyin Mountain, the unnamed café is a well-known spot where visitors can sip tea, admire night views, and feast on bucket chicken. Starting October, a family play area has been added, giving parents yet another fun destination for weekend outings. Kids seem to have endless energy, and letting them burn it off in nature is great — meanwhile, adults can enjoy tea and mountain views in peace. Everyone wins!

Built against the mountain, the unnamed coffee garden features four observation decks, each with its own unique charm. Now, a family-friendly play area has been added on the first floor, complete with a spacious splash pool, sandpit, indoor play zone, and shaded canopy to protect from the sun. Even if clothes get wet, there’s a changing room available. While the kids play, adults can relax on nearby seating with tea and keep an eye on them — everyone’s happy.

The splash pool includes a slide that kids love, with water only reaching adult shin height. For extra safety, you can put a swim ring on your child.

In the hot southern Taiwan sun, nothing beats playing in the water. The sound of splashing and children’s laughter creates the happiest holiday memories.

The white sandpit is mysteriously attractive to kids. Digging and building sandcastles is pure joy.

The sandpit comes with small toys — no need to bring your own. Parents just have to figure out how to get the kids out of the pit!

The indoor playroom is padded with soft mats and features large building blocks.

Stacking blocks helps spark kids’ creativity and imagination.

There’s also a table football game that adults can join in on.

The air hockey table is fun for all ages — how about a parent-child match?

The indoor seating area of the family play zone is air-conditioned, with large windows so parents can comfortably watch their kids play.

The free-roaming sheep around the garden are friendly and love attention, giving children a chance to get close to animals.

While the kids play, adults can sit back with tea and chat. The garden provides tea sets, a stove, and RO filtered water — very convenient. One entry ticket can be used to get a tea set.

For those who can’t use tickets for snacks like sunflower seeds and cookies, they’re just 50 NT dollars per pack — perfect with tea.

Feeling tired? Try the kid-favorite fried platter with crispy fries, onion rings, and chicken nuggets (not included with the ticket and must be purchased separately). Refueled and ready to hit the water and sand again!

From Monday to Thursday after 5:30 PM, you can order freshly roasted bucket chicken and salted pork (available from Friday to Sunday at noon, but roasted chicken takes 50 minutes — reservations recommended). Great for family gatherings. The bucket chicken is simply seasoned with garlic and rice wine, highlighting the delicious taste of barrel roasting. Don’t miss the chicken oil dripping from the meat — pure flavor!

The slate-grilled salted pork is salty, fragrant, and chewy — perfect with tea for full satisfaction.

The sliced salted pork comes with fresh lettuce — eat it solo or in a wrap for a refreshing twist.

Want a relaxing holiday with your kids? Escape the hustle and bustle and take the whole family for a mountain adventure. Breathe fresh air surrounded by peaks, admire the view, enjoy nature’s tranquility, and let the kids run wild. What could be better?

As night falls, the scenery transforms — nearby E-Da World’s Ferris wheel lights up with dazzling colors.
