Miaoli’s Nanzhuang is within the Shan Shan National Scenic Area, boasting not only abundant natural ecological beauty but also a diverse population of residents, including Hakka, Indigenous peoples, Mainlanders, and Hoklo people, which adds to its rich cultural diversity. Thanks to its wealth of tourism resources and distinctive features, there are also many homestays and cafés here. Among them, the most dreamlike is the Nanzhuang Lazy Tree Café Homestay, nestled among dozens of olive trees on the estate, resembling a hidden fairy-tale sanctuary deep in the mountains.

Here, there’s a fairytale-like café called Purple House and a Mediterranean-style homestay, set within a layered terrain that feels like a small maze. The surroundings are filled with warm, natural decorations, handmade furniture, sundries, paintings, and collages — all kinds of rustic-style items create a healing atmosphere that fully showcases the slow-living aesthetics of a tranquil town.
