Nearby Attractions

Three top local spots are all within a 20-minute drive of the hotel:

• Qixingtan Beach: Just 15 minutes away, this sweeping pebble beach boasts turquoise Pacific waters and views of the Coastal Mountain Range. It’s perfect for sunrise walks, beach picnics, or cycling the adjacent coastal bike path, and far less crowded than Hualien’s more tourist-focused beach spots.
• Hualien Night Market: A 10-minute drive from the property, Hualien’s most famous night market serves up beloved local street food: oyster omelets, grilled squid, mochi, and shaved ice. It’s the best place to sample Hualien’s signature flavors and pick up affordable souvenirs.
• Taroko Gorge National Park: The crown jewel of Hualien is just a 25-minute drive from the hotel. This dramatic marble gorge offers world-class hiking trails, from the easy, accessible Swallow Grotto trail to the more challenging Zhuilu Old Road, with jaw-dropping views of cliffside gorges and turquoise river valleys.

Travel Tips

The property only accommodates Chinese-speaking guests currently, so non-Chinese speakers should arrange for a translator when booking or communicating with hosts. If you’re renting the whole building for a group, confirm the maximum guest capacity and BBQ equipment requirements at the time of booking. Parking is free but cannot be reserved in advance, so if you arrive during peak holiday seasons, ask the host for directions to the lot ahead of time. Because of its central location near Hualien Station, it’s easy to plan day trips around the region from this base—fill up on groceries for your BBQ at a nearby supermarket before heading back to the property after a day of exploring.
