Browse affordable clothing, accessories, and local handicrafts after dark for a true taste of Taiwanese night market culture.

Travel Tips

The hotel’s location puts you within walking distance of the Kaohsiung Main Station and Formosa Boulevard MRT Station, making it easy to get around the city without a car, though free parking is available if you’re driving. Book your room in advance during peak travel seasons (summer, Lunar New Year, and mid-autumn festival) as the hotel fills up fast due to its proximity to Liuhe Night Market. Grab breakfast at the on-site coffee shop before heading out for the day, and stock up on late-night snacks from the hotel’s vending machines after a long day of exploring. Don’t forget to ask the 24-hour tour desk for insider recommendations on lesser-known local food spots and day trips to nearby destinations like Cijin Island.
