Hello! I'm CHEN, and I'm delighted to have the opportunity to introduce our family to you.
My wife and I live together. I am an engineer by profession and my wife is a teacher.
We like to travel around and are happy to communicate with foreigners. We welcome foreigners who are interested in Taiwan’s life, food and culture to experience and explore everything here.
Our home has just been renovated this year, and we have begun cooperating with local schools to host foreign students.
Rental is limited to girls who love cleanliness, care for public property, are polite and easy-going, and are willing to live with us, experience a beautiful life, and build friendships and shared memories together.
We speak Chinese and Taiwanese and can communicate in simple English and Japanese. We welcome foreign friends who want short-term experience and long-term study abroad. As a teacher, my wife is also happy to help foreign friends who are interested in learning Chinese.
We are a family full of love and laughter. As a host family, we understand that you may feel some discomfort when you are away from home, so we are also committed to making you feel the warmth and safety of home.
The house has two floors, and each room has spacious and airy windows, clean sheets, comfortable beds, ample closet space, tables and chairs, and bright lights, allowing you to relax and focus on your studies.
The furniture and equipment are quite complete (including 75-inch TV, 100-inch projection screen + projector, home theater audio set, high-speed Wi-Fi, massage chair, washing machine, refrigerator, gas stove, microwave oven, air frying oven, electronic stove, Dehumidifier, steam iron, hair dryer, water filter, water dispenser, vacuum cleaner, etc.)
The rooms are also quite clean and comfortable. You can treat them as your own warm home. We treat our guests like our own family and can provide help and advice at any time.
The home is located next to the mangrove ecological reserve in Tamsui, with a beautiful and safe living environment. At the same time, Tamsui is a must-visit tourist attraction in Taipei, famous for its natural beauty, history, culture, and snacks.
Tamsui is a safe, convenient and popular tourist attraction located in the northwest of Taipei Basin, surrounded by mountains and rivers (Datun Mountain and Tamsui River), with elegant scenery.
Nearby are Beitou Hot Spring, Yangmingshan National Park, Shilin Night Market, National Palace Museum, etc., which are all great tourist attractions in Taipei. (As shown in the attached picture)
It takes 3 minutes to walk to the Danhai LRT Ganzhenlin(竿蓁林)Station. It takes about 30 minutes to transfer to the Taipei MRT to reach Taipei Station. You can then transfer to the high-speed rail, train or bus to reach various scenic spots in Taiwan, which is very convenient.
You can discuss your travel plans with us and we will give you the most suitable suggestions based on your preferences and interests. Whether it's a cost-effective ride or a special car transfer, you can have a pleasant time in Taiwan.
Sincerely looking forward to your arrival, if you have any questions or special needs, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for considering us as a host family and wish you a pleasant trip.
Sincerely,
CHEN
