DAY TRIP
Pinglin Day Trip
HODE is only open 11:00–15:00, so every plan is built around lunch. Four versions; pick the one that fits your company.
Four ways to do it
Families
10:00 tea museum → 11:30 lunch at HODE (kids love the tea sausage and tea-oil noodles) → 13:30 fish-watching at the suspension bridge and a riverside walk
Couples
10:30 tea-field views along the Beiyi Highway → 12:00 lunch at HODE → 14:00 tea shopping on the old street and a slow walk on the Jingualiao trail
Seniors
11:00 lunch at HODE (a set menu or light tea dishes) → 13:00 the tea museum indoors, with a tea ceremony → 14:30 a flat stroll on the old street, few stairs
Groups
Book a 10-person set menu ahead → 11:30 lunch at HODE → 13:30 split up: tea museum / riverside trail / old street, regroup at 15:00 to head home
Please confirm opening hours and bus times before you travel; 10-person set menus must be booked ahead with a 50% deposit.
