Stay in a glass house and enjoy breathtaking views: 3 popular homestays in Yilan

Panoramic View Villa at Taiping Mountain

If you dream of staying in a fairytale-like glass house surrounded by a large lawn and enjoying stunning night views, there’s a homestay just along the way to Taiping Mountain in Yilan. The Panoramic View Villa offers sweeping views of the Lanyang Plain, and on clear days, you can even see Guishan Island. The entire glass-walled villa is encircled by a vast lawn, resembling a secret garden tucked away from the world.

Panoramic View is one of the earlier homestays established in Yilan. After multiple renovations, every room here features a large bathtub where you can soak while gazing at the starry night sky and awe-inspiring scenery through the floor-to-ceiling windows. By day, it’s shrouded in mist; by night, besides the stars, you can also admire the glittering city lights—a truly enchanting sight. It’s the perfect place to unwind and wash away the stresses of daily life.
