Room: The room was clean and had everything I needed. The beds were clean and the location was quiet. The room had a view out the back of the hillside. Staff: The staff were so friendly. Multiple times offered (and did) pick me up in Shizhao (which is a place with more bus connections). Also, be sure to ask them about tea and to have a tea tasting. It's a great way to spend some time to get to know them and their tea business. Also, they do have tea for sale. Also, ask them about dinner at the place next door. I had my favorite meal of my time in Taiwan at that restaurant. A course meal with a set price with traditional taiwanese dishes. Location: As I said above, it's about a 20 minute walk from Shizhao, so likely it's best to take the pickups offered from the staff to get to and from Shizhao if wanting to connect to other locations in the Alishan area. If you do decide to walk from the B&B to Shizhao, just know that there aren't sidewalks on the way and not much room to keep away from the vehicles on the road. From the B&B, Alishan is about a 45 minute bus ride to the alishan recreation area. There is a bus stop about 3 minutes walk from the B&B (dingyongxing), however, buses there aren't very frequent, so better to go to the stop in Shizhao. This B&B though does have a nice view from the 6th floor overlooking the mountains and can watch the sunrise from the resting area on the 6th floor. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here.

There are many things that I love about this inn, but the main ones are the kind owners' hospitality and the fantastic sunrise/sunset views (only if the weather is good, of course). I had the chance to enjoy delicious tea and a nice long chat with the 2nd-generation owner, while the 3rd-generation owner gave me travel tips gave me rides to and from Shizhao, one of the nearby bus stops. The 6th floor has a viewing area—perfect for those who don't want to get up at the crack of dawn to go all the way to the more famous sunrise-viewing platform at the Alishan Forest Recreation area. That's what I wanted to do originally, but if you're a solo traveler, a taxi to/from the area that early is going to be very costly. I decided to just check out the sunrise from the comfort of this inn instead, which was just as gorgeous! (Don't miss the sunset; it's also gorgeous btw!) Rooms here are cozy, spacious, clean, and quiet. Teabags are available in-room, so you can enjoy Alishan tea during your stay! A homemade breakfast used to be included with your stay, but due to staff shortage since the pandemic started, the owners give you 7-11 vouchers instead, which was fine by me. Location's pretty good, too: some buses from Chiayi City, Fenqihu, and the Alishan Forest Recreation area stop close by. Otherwise, you can get off at Shizhao/Shizhuo (more buses stop here, and there are more shops and restaurants where you can pass the time), and the owner can pick you up from there. While staying within the main Alishan Forest Recreation area itself would've been the most convenient option, accommodations there are limited, and even the budget options are, I feel, pricier than they should be. And so, I'm really glad I decided to take the chance and stay here, which isn't in the main Alishan area.

Nothing in particular

Everything was excellent. We travelled by bus, the bus between Alishan and Chiayi stops just minutes from the place. The location is a bit off but the owners gave us rides to restaurants and trails and were all in all extremely helpful. We were invited to a tea tasting session and they showed us parts of the tea making process in their own factory. The room was modern, clean and comfortable. We are so grateful for the time we spent. Thank you.

The owner of the guest house was very kind to drive me to the nearest town; Shizhuo to take a bus there to head to Alishan or Fenqihu. They also picked up me from the same place in Shizhuo to head back to the guest house. On a good day, you can see the sunrise from the common area on lvl 6.

No meals are provided and location is a bit out of the way. Can get pretty quiet and a little scary if you are staying as a solo traveller. Would not recommend if you are traveling alone.

Stunning view of the sunrise from the lobby area! It was very convenient to get to Alishan from the area. The rooms were very spacious with a seating area even. It was extremely value for money. Karsing was very friendly and easy to liaise with! There’s a water refill area at the main lobby which was very convenient too. As we had arrived earlier than the check in time and the rooms weren’t ready, Karsing offered to drive us to the starting point of Mist Trail, we enjoyed it so much and it was a very pleasant way to spent our afternoon, with amazing views of tea fields! Would highly recommend the trails around the area.

Location was slightly out of the way, 1.5km from Shizhao bus stop which is the main bus stop but it is not possible to walk on the roads. Karsing was very nice to charter us back and forth to the bus stop. There is another bus stop nearer to the B&B as well. The toilet had a bit of a smell and not the best ventilation after you’re done with it.

Tea Cloud B&B is literally in the clouds and such a lovely spot to stay in. We were hoping to experience a unique stay in Alishan and definitely got that at Tea Cloud. The hotel has beautiful large windows that overlook the mountains and you can catch a nice view of sunrise or watch the clouds come in or immerse you. Karsing and his family are really lovely and he showed us his tea farm and shared some tea with us in the evening. We bought some delicious black tea and oolong to take home with us. He was also very accommodating and dropped us off at the bus station for our visit to Alishan National Park and when we were leaving to Fenqihu to catch the Alishan Express Train as well as recommend some wonderful local restaurants for meals. The rooms are also very beautiful and clean.

We didn't rent a car and took buses, you really have to plan timing of buses and coordinate drop offs which was super helpful. If road tripping, I think this is a great home base to experience Alishan nature and tea!

The most fantastic thing about the B&B is the morning view of the mountains, which we can view directly in front of our room on the 6th floor. The room is big and the bed is comfortable. The location is good as there is a restaurant beside the hotel that offers a natural organic dinner with their locally produced tea leaves and a cafe in front of the hotel serves good coffee. The owner offered to send and pick us up from the nearby Shi Zhuo town where we took a bus to the Alishan Railway.

The host and his family are so caring and nice. As we didn’t have a car, they fetched us to and fro bus stop and restaurants. All our queries about food, restaurants, transportation and tourist attractions were replied very quickly via WhatsApp. The accommodation is very quiet, well equipped, clean and very Zen. Love it very much to see the sun rising just in front of our room. We could use the washing machine and dryer. The host has a very beautiful tea farm. He brought us for a very enjoyable and enriching tour around the farm. This was the best accommodation of our 14 days trip in Taiwan.

We spent 2 nights here and it was an enjoyable time for my tea-loving husband. Our room on the 6th floor was cosy and the room and amenities were tastefully designed and prepared. Beautiful mountain view along the corridor. Thank u to Jia Chenh and tea master and family for warmly hosting us and sharing their tea and tea knowledge!

Location was pretty good and the owners were extremely hospitable. As it was firefly season, they even offered to drive us down to see the fireflies which was a great experience. The tea appreciation session is worth the hype too. Thank you for the pleasant stay! Will definitely be back.
