Aside from the restaurant itself, surrounding structures such as the Sun Square, Moon Square, Star Square, and park pathways are perfect for a relaxing afternoon. Here, you can enjoy exquisitely prepared meals while quietly overlooking Lotus Pond — resembling a Jurassic hidden world — and taking in the ever-changing skies over Miaoli’s mountain ranges.
