SPARKLING WATER MACHINE REPLACES BOTTLED WATER

Every year, roughly 500 billion plastic bottles are disposed globally, severely impacting Penghu’s coastal environment as the monsoon currents set in. The hotel is now using eco-friendly and energy-efficient water dispensers, sparkling water dispensers and glass water bottles. We no longer provide bottled water in the guest rooms to reduce plastic waste. Thank you for reducing plastic use and loving the Earth with us!

REDUCING TOILETRIES

Taiwan generates about 8,000 tonnes of plastic waste each year from hotel toiletries, putting a strain on the environment. We use large-capacity toiletries in the guest rooms and offer green travel and eco-friendly lodging program as we invite each traveler to bring their own toiletries and, reducing plastic use and loving the Earth.

ENERGY SAVING

The entire hotel features large floor-to-ceiling windows and energy-efficient lighting systems; the guest room key cards are linked with the lighting electricity where the latter is automatically switched off when the guests leave their rooms, reducing the usage of lighting systems; in response to the Earth Hour initiated by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), we’re also switching off our lights and electricity supply during 20:30 to 21:30 on the day of the event every year to do our share of environmental protection.

GREEN DINING AND SUSTAINABLE DIET

We give back to Penghu what Penghu gives to us. In promoting green and sustainable foods, we prioritize local ingredients in recommending plant-based dishes and cherish food ordering; we use Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper bags; and we do not actively provide single-use tableware as we align ourselves with the idea of going green.

SORTING RECYCLABLES TO KEEP PENGHU CLEAN

As we uphold the idea of sustainable travel, the hotel sorts the recyclables and turns recyclable wastes (e.g. bottle caps, paper towel rolls) into materials used in the DIY activities in the hotel, generating a cycle and loving the Earth.

WATER REUSE

To protect the most beautiful bay in the world - Penghu, we’ve installed reclaimed water and rainwater systems to collect the rainwater on the terraces/guest room balconies and the condensed water from air conditioners while we use them as the main source of water in park irrigation and cleaning to reduce water waste.

WATER CONSERVATION

There is no mountain and lake, the island is divided by the Tropic of Cancer, and precipitation is far less than what is evaporated. How to conserve water before a drought happens has become a vital issue for the coming generations of Penghu locals. To echo water conservation. If you need to have your bed sheet, duvet covers, or pillow cases changed, please place your eco-card on the bed.

SAVE CORAL REEFS

Global climate change has led to rising ocean temperatures, putting coral reefs at risk of severe depletion and bleaching, which threatens marine ecosystems.
Coral reefs are a vital foundation of marine biodiversity. Join us in rejecting the harvesting and trade of coral reef products to help protect their survival.
