Starry Minsu at Cingjing

Cing Jing, a town situated in Nantou of Taiwan, has become a popular destination for travellers in recent years. Being at an elevated altitude, the weather in Cing Jing is relatively cool (in fact cold during the winter months) throughout the year and you can literally touch the clouds in Cing Jing. There are many minsu in this town, and I had a hard time to decide which minsu to stay in. I was looking for a minsu with a view, and the minsu has to be clean and accessible to all the attractions in Cing Jing. The more popular minsu are Starry and Misty, and after some research, I decided to give Starry Minsu (观星园)a try. As I was travelling with my parents, I did not want them to climb too much stairs, and we've hired a driver to pick us up from Taichung to Starry Minsu, hence resolving the transportation issue.

Here are the views of the room I stayed in and photos taken from the balcony of the room.

Starry minsu provides transportation to Qing Qing Farm, and they will pick you up near Misty Plaza after you finishing touring the area.

If you are a meat lover, you can get a chicken on the way back to the minsu to add on to the steamboat dinner.

The minsu also helped us arrange for a hot spring visit to Lu Shan, where we had fun soaking in the natural hot spring water.

Overall, we had enjoyed our stay in Starry Minsu, and I'm itching to get back there soon to enjoy the cold breeze and fresh air.
