🏞️ How to Get to Spring Ground B&B in Cingjing, Taiwan (2025 Travel Guide)

πŸŒ„ Why Cingjing Was Our Favorite Stop in Taiwan

When we traveled to Taiwan in 2016, we skipped the usual first-day Taipei tour and went straight to Cingjing in Nantou County. It was a long ride, but completely worth it. For us, it was the most scenic and peaceful part of our trip.

We stayed at the charming Spring Ground B&B, a hidden gem just beside the Old English Manor. While they don’t have a website, we booked through Agoda and messaged the hosts directly to confirm. They were incredibly kind—even offering to drive us to Cingjing Farm!


πŸ—Ί️ How to Get to Spring Ground B&B from Taichung HSR Station (2025)


πŸš— Option 1: Private Car Service (Most Comfortable)

If you prefer convenience, you can pre-arrange a car service to take you directly from HSR Taichung Station to Spring Ground B&B.

We didn’t go hungry! There are lots of food choices nearby—hotpot places, grilled street food, tea houses, and even convenience stores within walking distance.
