Gukeng in two days
The old coffee belt by scooter: two farms, one roaster, and a long lunch.
Douliu → Gukeng → Huashan
DAY 01
Douliu to Gukeng
09:00
Douliu scooter hire
The only practical way to reach the farms on this route.
11:00
Song Yue
Weekend roastery, kitchen-table tasting.
15:00
Hua Xi Tian
Honey and natural lots, covered drying beds.
DAY 02
Huashan and back
10:00
Huashan coffee road
A string of roadside rooms with views down the plain.
14:00
Roaster visit
Most Gukeng beans are milled and roasted within twenty kilometres.
Gukeng is small enough to see properly in two days, and cheap enough to do without planning much.
The roads are narrow and the signage is poor; a scooter is not optional if you want to reach the farms.
