Sun Shine Vacation Villa

Ren-ai

It is more like a Mingsu (not a villa to me) located above the mid level of Cingjing Mountain. The lady at the reception didn’t speak much though.  Check-in was very swift.  

The entrance level is the restaurant that offered Yunnan cuisines.  The rooms were located on level 2.  Two levels only, served by a flight of stairs.  We had to pull our luggage up the stairs, thankfully our driver as well as the staff from the Mingsu helped us.

The rooms were dim, floors were timber-decked.  Bathrooms were old-looking. Oh do be careful. Certain rooms have a step-up platform to the bed.  This may not work for older people.  So before you book, please specify clearly.  Rooms have high ceilings though.  Bathroom & room amenities were sufficient.  During winter, we just opened our window slightly and the room was like 19 degrees!  The bed had a heater!  That was so helpful in the cold night!  The walls were thin, we tried to be considerate & not to make much noise all the time.  The hot water cooler is outside the rooms. 

We had our dinner here on our first night.  It was delicious.  We seek the help of the staff to order for us as we weren’t sure about their Yunnan cuisines.  Most of the dishes were spicy but they could do without it.  We were all satisfied!  Good soups (tonic) & fresh vegetables that they planted at their garden.  

There is a 7-11 convenient store next to Sunshine Villa. It sells plenty of stuffs which we couldn’t find in other 7-11 anywhere in the rest of the places we went after this.  Cars would stop here to get their necessities before moving off elsewhere.

There is a tea shop, like a souvenir shop here. Their tea is tasteful, not those thick ones that land me sleepless for nights.  I bought their sourcprunes to make prune tea.  The teabags can be found in the rooms as well. 

The breakfast here was good.  All healthy stuffs except their usual stew pork (minced) which goes very well with rice or porridge.  My family & relatives had a good start of the day before we climbed He Huan Mountain!  The view from the restaurant veranda was nice.  The Mingsu has an organic garden/farm and the staff looked after the produce closely.

My relatives didn’t mind going back for a stay come this winter:))It is more like a Mingsu (not a villa to me) located above the mid level of Cingjing Mountain.

A Pleasant Mingsu

We were booked here via our tour company expecting a 4 star hotel experience.  Definitely not the case.  More of a 2 star experience.  Though, they did have heated blankets and free wifi which was nice.  The restaurant and breakfast buffet are what one would expect of a 2/3 star hotel in Taiwan - simple and focused on local food types.  The beds were hard and the bathrooms very basic - almost feeling industrial like (bathroom had a stall for the shower and toilet).  Our view was overlooking another building with no view of the mountains.  The road noise could be heard throughout the night.

Not a 4 star hotel

We stayed here for one night before doing a business excursion that entailed riding on a bicycle up the last 20 or so Km of the mountain.  Our business associate did the booking for us.  The room was basic, but clean.  Room had double bed, a small desk with a basic vanity, toilet and tub with a shower head.  There was a heating system as it apparently can get cold.  No a.c .but balcony had a great view that I was able to birdwatch from.  Screen door on slider for ventilation in summer.  Dogs barking and roosters crowing  down the mountain woke us at 5:30 am.  Breakfast was mostly Taiwanese cuisine with very little western food to be found.  Bottled water provided in room, and 7 Eleven on premises. You are paying for basic amenities with a view and not much to eat for western palates other than toast and hard boiled egg.



Basic ammenities but Great View!

Yes.. i fall in love with this minsu when in QingJing.. the room itself is very clean and cozy with a mountain view. Bedsheet is really clean and looked new. Bathroom also huge and clean.

Staffs were friendly and helpful. Location is really good and strategic (near swiss farm). 7/11 is just beside the minsu which i found very convenient. Minsu also have shuttle bus to go to the green green grassland.

Breakfast is okay too.. many variants and delicious. We love it esp with a lovely mountain view..

Bottom line.. we love staying there.. at days we can witness the breathtaking mountain view and at nights we can enjoy the beautiful starry night and the cold breeze.. Really cozy and homey minsu.. :)


Very beautiful and cozy minsu

First time to QingJing and was looking forward to the stay at the beautiful mountainous resort only to find the room given at the old building was a great disappointment and 
well below expectation though i have asked for a 4 star accommodation. The bathroom was not well maintained with spoilt and mouldy showerhead & cracked tiles. Room decor looked dated. The only comfort was that it has a restaurant that serves decent food and has great view of the mountains.
