Homestays take another leap forward!This wildly popular countryside lodge features six magical rooms that leave everyone amazed, with the common thread being their "off-the-ground design"—many furnishings appear to float in midair, earning it the nickname "Castle in the Sky." Its ultra-dreamy creativity has prompted netizens to frantically call to book.

The exterior of "Pulingong Homestay" is built with irregularly stacked cubes, giving it a futuristic geometric feel. Rendered in pure white, it exudes an elegant texture without being overly contrived. Even from afar, it feels comforting. Despite its location in Hualien, it enjoys high popularity, attracting visitors from all over, unaffected by its geographical position.

Its gallery-like appearance gives a clean and perfect first impression, but the most eye-catching feature is the "floating guest rooms." The owner used creativity to craft six distinct rooms, each with a corresponding name inspired by its design concept, giving every room its own unique story.

The six guest rooms are named "Create," "Floating," "Memories," "No. 26," "No. 1208 Room," and "Castle in the Sky." Since each has its own charm, there’s no clear fan-favorite, but all specifications are detailed on the official social media page.

Additionally, most of these rooms feature loft designs, with spiral staircases or long ladders that enhance the sense of space. In some rooms, the loft areas include not just beds but also dedicated star-gazing zones, with highly transparent glass skylights that let you gaze at the starry night sky, adding a romantic touch.

Since the beds are either attached to the stairs or walls, the large double beds appear to float. Moreover, the stairs often feature transparent glass, creating the illusion of walking on air—as if defying gravity—making them incredibly photogenic. This unique indoor design is exclusive to "Pulingong Homestay" across Taiwan, and it has garnered endless praise on social platforms like IG and FB, sparking a trend.

Additionally, the "Create" and "Floating" rooms feature an "egg swing" that’s sure to delight anyone with a love for cute things. Many netizens are eager to try it out, gently swaying on it—not only is it fun, but it also helps shake off daily stress. Girls especially find it adorable.

The "Memories" room, themed around childhood, takes inspiration from hammocks for its bed design, connecting the bed to the ceiling with white chains to create a giant double hammock. The owner explains that this design aims to evoke a warm, nurturing feeling for guests.

After snapping photos to your heart’s content inside the room, you can also step outside. Just push open the main door and you’ll see an elongated swimming pool, which is available for everyone to enjoy the water and cool off for free. Next to it stands the currently trendy shipping container building. Take a few steps on the marble pathway, and there’s even a swing waiting for you up ahead. With so many thoughtful and innovative facilities, it’s no wonder netizens are willing to brave the crowds and travel from afar to experience the “Floating Homestay.”
