Travel Tips

The hotel only accommodates Chinese speakers at reception, so it is helpful to have a translation app downloaded if you do not speak Mandarin. Since there is no on-site Wi-Fi, download offline maps and any entertainment you want before you arrive. Book a family room well in advance during peak season (cherry blossom season in March and holiday weekends) as they fill up quickly. Leave your car at the hotel’s free garage and take the hotel’s shuttle service into Daxi Old Street to avoid parking shortages in the crowded old town on weekends.
