Local Attractions

Three top nearby spots are well worth adding to your itinerary:

• Ruisui Ranch: Just 10 minutes from the hotel, this sprawling working ranch is famous for its grazing cattle, fresh milk, and soft dairy ice cream. Wander past rolling green pastures dotted with water buffalo, feed goats, and soak in postcard views of the Central Mountain Range.
• Fuyuan National Forest Recreation Area: A 15-minute drive from the hotel, this lush forest reserve is home to hundreds of coconut palm trees, walking trails, and the iconic Fuyuan Waterfall. It’s also one of the best places in Taiwan to see wild fireflies in spring and early summer.
• Ruisui Hot Spring Street: Five minutes from the hotel, this charming waterfront strip is lined with local snack stalls selling famous Ruisui pomeloes, wild bamboo shoots, and millet mochi. Stop for a soak at a public spring or browse handcrafted local souvenirs.

Travel Tips

If visiting during peak seasons (weekends, Chinese New Year, or summer vacation), book your room and reserve parking at least two weeks in advance to secure your spot. The hotel offers a paid shuttle service from Hualien City if you don’t have a car, and EV drivers must pre-book charging stations before arrival. Don’t miss the hotel’s hot spring in the late evening – after day trippers leave, the public and outdoor pools are far less crowded, perfect for stargazing from the warm water.
