Hsinchu Summer Story Festival: Stargazing by Qingcao Lake and Tasting Lei Cha

The "Summer Story Festival" at Yanbo Hotel is held every Saturday during July and August within the hotel premises. From the moment you enter your room and settle your luggage, the fairy-tale happiness begins with making "sweet nothings" cotton candy. Evening activities continue to fill your memories with vivid performances such as the "Little Prince Stargazing Adventure" and the "Bobo Story Theater." This is followed by an unplugged band performance at the "Summer Music Concert," lulling both kids and adults into a sweet slumber. On the second day, continue with a guided "Qingcao Lake Wellness Tour," listening to the romantic tales of Qingcao Lake’s famous Phoenix Bridge and Yufei Island while discovering the lake’s natural ecology. On the way back, join the "Fruits Impressionism" activity to imprint collected leaves onto eco-friendly tote bags provided by the hotel, taking beautiful summer memories home.

Additionally, families participating in the "Summer Story Camp" accommodation package enjoy exclusive activities: a "Magic Cake DIY" session guided by the patisserie chef, where parents and children can make their own cakes together; during dinner, the restaurant manager leads a session where kids learn "table manners" while enjoying delicious meals; and Hsinchu’s most distinctive "Hakka Lei Cha" is also brought into the hotel, allowing families to experience authentic Hakka tea culture together.
