Travel Tips

The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the nearest Weiwu-Ying MRT station, making it easy to reach the rest of Kaohsiung without a car. If you are driving, arrive early to claim a free parking spot, as the lot fills quickly on weekends and holiday periods. Book your stay in advance if you plan to visit during a major performance at Weiwu-Ying, as rooms sell out fast. For business travelers, the hotel offers a paid business center with fax and printing services for last-minute work needs.
