This is where these famous pineapple cakes originated. It is located on top of the hill along Ba Qua Ridge. One could take bus, taxi or self-drive up here. Only street parking is available, so do be aware of the very crowded traffic here during the weekends & holidays. The showroom is set up as an annex to the traditional house, and is decorated nicely. The shop offers a free cake and a cup of tea for any visitor, but there is a queue if one just comes for the freebies. The staff minding the entry could do with a bit of gentleness. Otherwise, they were all very helpful & inviting. Foodwise, it is the special pineapple cakes coming from the local field with unique red earth. The taste is a mix of slight sourness & sweetness, rather than the normal ones only with high level of sweetness. Nonetheless, the taste of the apple cakes was too sweet to me, and not suitable for people afraid of high suger intake. There is a track next to the entry that leads to a nicely designed amphatheatre, which was donated by this cake company for the locals.

Read moreThe 1st store of Sunny Hills is located at Bagua Mountain, between Nantou and Changhua city, which is famous of their crop - high quality pineapple. Sunny Hills tried to preserve their traditional family house - Sanheyuan and developed modern, cozy interior.
Every customer needs to wait to be seated and will be served with a cup of oolong tea with a piece of pineapple cake or seasonal pastries. After tasting, you can purchase what you want and they won’t let you feel bad if you don’t buy anything.
The pineapple cakes from Sunny Hills are my favorite souvenir and in my must-buy list every year. The cakes are filled with creamy stuffing made with pineapple not winter melon which are the most authentic but not my type. I also love their crust which is kind of tough but become soft in your mouth.
Our only complaint is the price, it was close to 2 times of price compared to other brand. As a pineapple cake, it’s too much but looks good...
