Surrounded by mountains, Guye Hotel uses spring water as its theme, complemented by rugged rocks, sea of clouds, and five-needle pines as extensions. Utilizing natural and raw materials, it blends elements of nature, art, and humanity. With its minimalist design style, it exudes a low-key and tranquil holiday atmosphere. The hotel states, “In terms of service, we draw inspiration from Japanese service philosophy, hoping that every guest at Guye can enjoy our sincere hospitality.”

The natural resources of Liren are the richest tourist assets of Guye Hotel. The Liren Tribe is an Atayal indigenous community, featuring the Liren Forest Road, Four Braves Five-Needle Pines, Seventh Heaven Waterfall, Liren Riverbanks, and Tangmadian Mountain, among others. There are multiple hiking trails of varying difficulty levels, each showcasing different spectacular views in different seasons, weather, and times of day. The sea of clouds over Liren is a hidden gem among mountain enthusiasts. The serene valleys of the Dajia River and Liren River run through the area, with the year-round stable and crystal-clear Liren River featuring multiple cascading waterfalls. It helps regulate humidity and temperature, emits high concentrations of negative ions, and enjoys a comfortable climate, making it highly suitable for developing into a wellness and eco-tourism destination.

After the 921 Earthquake, due to tectonic shifts, three different types of mineral springs—sodium bicarbonate, iron springs, and salt springs—emerged from the banks of the Liren River. Geomancers regard the earthquake as the “camel rising,” with the springs being gifts from the earth, and the camel symbolizing the treasure-laden moment before setting forth.
