VVG Hideaway

VVG Hideaway, located in Yangmingshan, can be described as 100% dreamy. From the entrance, there’s a sea of greenery; walk through a black carved wooden gate, climb a short flight of stone steps, and you’ll see a white building surrounded by trees. VVG Hideaway uses large transparent glass paired with white architecture—even the ceiling is transparent, letting in plenty of light. Because of this, every corner looks absolutely gorgeous in photos.

It feels like you’ve traveled abroad without leaving the country—even just sitting by the window with a coffee, the scenery is mesmerizing. All you see is lush greenery, as if you’re in a dreamy cottage in the jungle.

Z cafe

In the mountains of Jianshi Township, Hsinchu, stands a white building—Z Cafe is both a café and a homestay, featuring nearly 360-degree transparent glass for breathtaking views, making it a top-secret spot recommended by netizens.

Surrounded by vast forests, Z Café feels like a hidden paradise, yet it’s not too remote—just a 15-minute drive to attractions like Neiwan Old Street and Neiwan Suspension Bridge. Indoors, the most popular spot among travelers is the transparent glass area with a 360-degree view, offering wide-open vistas of Jianshi Township’s beautiful mountain landscapes. Right in the center of the glass area stands a white horse lamp that seems like the guardian spirit of the space. Travelers sit here sipping specially made coffee, quietly enjoying the scenery, and before they know it, the whole afternoon has flown by—along with a beautiful sunset.

Daiwa Dunsuoshi

Glass house cafés have become a popular style in recent years, taking over many spots on Instagram. When sunlight streams inside, the space feels incredibly dreamy, with a wide view that’s very relaxing. Opened at the end of February, Daiwa Dunsuoshi is located at Zhutian Railway Station. It was originally the 74-year-old Dexing Rice Mill, later becoming a ruin-like old warehouse. Under the transformation by the Daiwa team, the original brick wall structure was preserved, maintaining the historical ambience of the old building, while large glass panels allow natural light to flood in, creating a spacious, comfortable, and beautiful area that blends nostalgic charm with modern comfort.
