Mom’s Travel Fun
‘The courtyard of the south, a villa for your travels’ is the origin of the name Nan Yuan Boutique Villa. Its majestic architectural exterior gives off an air of luxury and has become the latest landmark in Chiayi. The second floor also features a beautiful open-air rooftop pool, where kids can happily splash around while parents relax lazily by the poolside. And even if you don’t have a car, it’s only about a 5-minute drive from Chiayi Railway Station. There are plenty of authentic and popular local eateries around the hotel, and it only takes 15 minutes to walk to the Cultural Road Night Market for snacks at night—very convenient for tourists visiting the area!
Mom’s Travel Fun, close to mom’s heart. Bringing the whole family along for the experience, this time we recommend staying at Nan Yuan Boutique Villa. The stylish decor is simple yet elegant, and the best part is that it was newly completed in 2017. Aesthetics and beauty are important parts of life. By introducing children to architecture from a young age, they can learn about history and local culture—not just through books or computers, but by truly experiencing the area’s cultural development.
This package offers a Mu Lan double room for just $1,999 on weekdays (breakfast included), with no extra charges during school holidays or weekdays. Later, the hotel generously decided that families with kids might need a third person, so they released a great deal: upgrade to a Masha triple room for free on weekdays (third person also gets breakfast). This offer also applies to the last day of consecutive holidays at the weekday rate. On weekdays, adding a fourth person for just $400 upgrades you to a quadruple room, including breakfast for four adults for only $2,399. Facilities in the hotel such as the gym, open-air pool, and business reading area are all free to use. Come for a slow-living, slow-traveling, and slow-food journey with your family on a weekday—it’s truly a great deal!

The Chiayi South Courtyard Lodge brings together a top-tier architectural team, featuring iron-gray tones paired with natural stone bases. Its L-shaped base stretches toward the sky, reflecting the concept of “evergreen mountains and ever-blue streams,” achieving a classic in urban aesthetics!
With the concept of “enjoying the scenery,” it captures a spiritual essence that shapes the playful interior design. The CORNER approach unfolds the charming spatial narrative of the lodge, full of surprises — and sure enough, upon completion, it became a new urban landmark of Chiayi.
It includes a two-level underground parking lot (B1F–B2F), so you won’t have to worry about parking while traveling. There is also an elevator that goes directly to the lobby, so you don’t have to worry about your luggage getting wet in bad weather.
Upon entering the lobby, the eye is drawn to the grand and luxurious “mountain peak” that serves as the visual centerpiece of the reception area. Coupled with the three-dimensional, angled, and layered ceiling design, you are immediately enveloped in a prestigious yet warm welcome atmosphere.
The reception desk is tucked away to the right of the entrance. The large pillar, integrated with linear lighting design, features raindrop-like patterns that display a natural splash of colors. The high-ceilinged space offers a serene ambiance, visually delivering a sense of tranquility and refined elegance.
To the left of the main entrance is the travel information area, providing guests with plenty of information about nearby attractions. The TV wall displays tourist spots in Chiayi. The whole family can stay in such a luxurious hotel — the value is truly amazing. Here, we also discovered many new travel spots. And because of KANO and Alishan, Chiayi attracts many visitors on pilgrimage. Just exploring Chiayi City alone will keep you busy. In addition, Chiayi City has convenient access to Alishan, Fenqihu, the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum, Dongshi Fishing Harbor, and Tainan’s Baihe and Guanziling. So, with this buy-one-get-one-free deal, a three-day-two-night trip is definitely a great bargain. Also, there are lots of local snacks and eateries around the hotel — we recommend sleeping in and then heading out to eat, so you don’t have to wake up early during the holiday just to eat the hotel breakfast. For a little indulgence, come for afternoon tea. Our room for four people came with four drinks and the hotel’s signature handmade cookies. Sitting in the beautiful café, with lovely lighting and ambiance, sipping leisurely, you might even feel like a lady of leisure.
Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM.
Spanning 9 pyeong, it consists of two spacious interconnected areas, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that greet you upon entry. Driving during a trip can actually be quite tiring, so staying at a hotel with a bathtub allows you to soak in hot water at night, helping to relieve Dad’s fatigue from the day. Best of all, the kids love it too. The room has a sunken bath tub for a relaxing private soak — the most comfortable personal space you can enjoy during your vacation!
The room is equipped with a Tehtai spring mattress, a trusted brand with over 60 years of reputation. The high-quality mattress ensures better sleep, and the materials have been tested by SGS for low pollution and eco-friendliness, adding peace of mind and comfort to your rest (if you like the in-room amenities, you can inquire with the hotel for more details). Paired with down quilts and down pillows, it truly offers a cozy stay and a sound sleep!
The room is carpeted with the same flooring as the hallway, kept spotlessly clean — even walking barefoot feels comfortable. The L-shaped door handle design cleverly separates the wet and dry areas of the bathroom. The facilities and supplies include a specially made SU bathing set and plush indoor slippers. Don’t forget: families with young children can reserve a baby crib and baby bathtub when making the reservation. Phone:

The hotel is featuring limited-time winter hot pot dishes in December, made with carefully selected ingredients that are sure to impress.
If you want to go out in the evening or the next day, I’ve compiled a list of nearby attractions and snacks around the hotel for your reference. Even if you don’t drive, the whole family can enjoy cycling around the night market or taking photos—it’s perfect.
Xiao Jipao (I’m such a busybody!) actually waited in line for a full hour for Liu Village Chief’s Chicken Rice—it’s really popular. Chiayi City has many famous new attractions, and the photo ops will definitely leave everyone amazed.

The hotel’s outdoor pool is designed in an L-shape. Towels are provided by the hotel—you don’t need to bring your own. Lifeguards are always on duty. The hotel also offers air pumps, and you’re welcome to bring your favorite inflatable swim rings. Everyone can have fun together.
Traveling with kids? A hotel with a pool is absolutely fantastic—you can really help them burn off all that energy (city kids are always 100% charged!). Xiao Jipao can just relax on a lounge chair, soak up some sun, and watch the kids play happily in the water. The pool is about 90–100 cm deep, and there’s a separate shallow area for younger kids to splash around safely. There are also free air mattresses and pumps available. Bring your own pool toys and have fun. After playing, there are showers and toilets by the pool, with both hot and cold water for easy rinsing—super convenient and thoughtful. At night, the pool takes on an infinity-like feel, instantly transforming into a beautiful and romantic spot that’s simply mesmerizing.
For just $1,999, you can stay at a boutique hotel and enjoy a different kind of living elegance. Parents traveling with kids will love admiring the design-forward space—it’s a rare and truly joyful experience. Plus, it was newly built in 2017, and weekday upgrades to a triple room come free. Even better, holiday surcharges are much lower than at other hotels. There’s also a “buy 15, get 1 free” deal, perfect for savvy moms to go in on a group booking. I highly recommend it.

Dongshi Fishing Port has gradually transformed into a tourist fishing harbor. The new fishing port area features the Dongshi Fisherman’s Wharf, which includes seaside viewing and leisure areas, wooden boardwalks, and other tourist facilities.

It’s a great place for family outings all year round—perfect for swimming in the summer and savoring seafood in the winter, while also providing opportunities to learn about the local oyster industry.
