Some encounters can only happen away from the city. Taipei's pace has conditioned us for efficiency — quick judgements, precise expression. But getting to know someone requires the exact opposite: space, silence, and letting conversation flow naturally into depth without the pressure of a schedule.

Alishan's mist creates a unique atmosphere. When the view is limited, people naturally focus on what is right in front of them. Ancient sacred trees, a slowly rising sun, a starlit sky at midnight — these elements let you temporarily set aside the roles you play in the city and return to a more essential self.

Two-Day, One-Night Itinerary

Day 1
Afternoon Departure · Arrive at the Lodge
Depart from Taipei by private transfer to Alishan's private mountain lodge. Arrive at 4 PM for free time to absorb the mountain atmosphere. In the evening, prepare dinner together — the first genuine act of "doing something together."
Evening Bonfire Conversation
After dinner, gather around the hearth. The matchmaker guides light conversation, letting dialogue gradually move from surface to depth. No agenda, no time limit — talk until you're ready to sleep.
Day 2
Sunrise & Morning Walk
At 5 AM, guests who wish to join gather to watch the sunrise. This is the quietest moment of the retreat — and often when the most authentic conversations happen.
Brunch · Free Time
Free time in the morning — walk among the mountains or relax at the lodge. After lunch, the group disperses at 3 PM, with private transfer back to Taipei.

Event Guidelines

This is not a speed-dating event. There is no "please introduce yourself" segment. We deliberately avoid overscheduling — white space is part of the design. The only rule: put down your phone, set aside your roles, and be your authentic self.

"We take you away from your familiar environment not to manufacture romance, but to create a space where you can be your authentic self."
