After crossing the Nan Chuang Bridge, taking a left along the dragonfly mountain road and following the signs will lead you to this little Shangri-la ¡V Son Rose. The name of this resort literally means ¡§mountain road roses.¡¨ The owner explains that the name was derived from his daughter¡¦s liking for the poem, Walking into the Mountain, written by Chinese poet Tu Fu, and his own fond for roses. Mountains surround Son Rose and the decor consists of white walls, black tiles and red bricks, which makes Son Rose all the more unique.
