Looking for a relaxing and luxurious getaway to Chiayi? This "Chiayi Micro-Luxury Fun Route" takes you from cozy hotels to dreamy campuses to stunning lakeside scenery.

🏨 Chiayi Maison de Chine: Jamie chose the Maison de Chine's Gentle Moments this time. This five-star hotel is a favorite in Chiayi City. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the highlight is the afternoon Happy Hour! Enjoy desserts, fruit, and coffee, and relax, chat, and refuel in the space. The breakfast is incredibly generous, with both sweet and savory options, both Chinese and Western. You won't want to leave until you're done.

🎓 National Chung Cheng University: A Romantic Campus Hidden in the Mountains
National Chung Cheng University, hailed as one of the "most beautiful campuses in southern Taiwan," boasts a vast, lush campus, with lakeside trails and art sculptures galore. We recommend strolling around Siyuan Lake and taking photos along the Library Boulevard. The afternoon sun creates a European-style atmosphere.
