Living In Light

Eight rooms in the mountain village of Shutoupu, Living In Light occupies a quiet residential address within Alishan National Scenic Area, where cedar forests and tea terraces replace the usual urban backdrop. The property carries a 9.8 guest rating across early reviews — an unusually high mark for this elevation.

Family rooms are available, and the shared kitchen lets longer-stay guests cook with local Alishan high-mountain tea-district produce rather than relying on resort dining. A garden, terrace, and picnic area make the most of the cool air at altitude. Bicycle rental opens the surrounding lanes without the noise of tour buses.

Private check-in and key-card access suit guests arriving after the mountain fog rolls in. Parking is on site — useful given that Shutoupu sits above the main Alishan township road.
