倚著玉山山脈，隔陳有蘭溪對望溪頭，位於南投水裡的上安村，樸實靜默的守著青山綠意。短暫數年的都會生活，讓我們早早體會自然環境的可貴，根植於土地的深切情感，回到最愛的上安村，在河畔的平原上的築起唐風民居，引溪澗入水塘、植青松水柳，佈置自然庭園，重拾自然恬靜的山居生活。
Leaning against Yushan Mountain Range, resting by Chen You Lan Stream on the other side of Xi Tou, Lao Wu Home Stay sits quietly and sturdily in its own green field at the heart of Shang An Village in Shui Li, Nan Tou County.Lao Wu realised the importance of living with nature after years of urban life, and decided to return to where he came from with his family. They built a traditional wooden structure two-floor guest house by the brook, and then channelled the water to the ponds, planted pine and willow trees in the garden to create a tranquil haven in this worldly world.

生活若是一種學習的進程，那麼院子裡的蓊鬱植栽就是我們的學習成果，幫自然挪出一個空間，大自然便給予滿滿豐盛回應。水楊的樹幹年年加粗，五葉松恣意的伸展姿態，螢火蟲不請自來、溪魚滿水塘，紅冠水雞也來此安居。照顧一畦有機野菜田，剩菜做堆肥，生態污水淨化池裡荷花盛開，自然循環的生活方式在這裡得到自在的實踐，我們樂在其中。
If life is an on-going learning process, then the yards of lush vegetation is part of the progress. The Mother Nature is always kind to those who pay their respect and only return with more bountifulness.  The trunk of willow trees are thickening by the year while the five-leave pines expending their branches. Fireflies gather around unpolluted water, fishes swim in the brooks and the ponds, and the special guest - moorhens nest in the farm.The farm house recycle and reuse the waste and the leftovers to make compost and then to be added to the soil as fertilizer, forming an excellent and organic growing medium for the plants, flowers and the home grown vegetables. With an ecosystem pond on the site, it is not only helpful to the well-being and the functioning of our environment, but also enjoyable to see the lotus and waterlilies blossoming. This is the way we live our lives

在舒緩的園中小憩、品味放空的悠閒，聽鳥語輕碎，枝枒光燦閃耀，當山嵐輕送飄過眼前，不管是慢活還是樂活，在這裡都已忘言。分享自然生活的過程，讓我們更感富足，歡迎您的到訪親臨，與我們呼吸大地的生命氣息，同享山居的悠然時光。
Take a stroll and relax in the soothing garden, slow down the pace and hear the birds chirping, bath in the sunshine, embrace the mountain views and immerse oneself in the sound of wind chimes when the breezy air came from the valley, no word is needed.Lao Wu Home Stay welcome you to visit and experience the enjoyable, close-to-the-nature life style that we are more than happy to share with you.
