Local Attractions

Three unmissable nearby spots make 這好宅 an ideal base:

• Luodong Forestry Culture Park: Just a 10-minute drive from the homestay, this sprawling former lumber mill turned public park blends industrial history with lush green space. Wander preserved wooden factory buildings, bike along tree-lined canals, and picnic by the lake—this is one of Yilan’s most beloved spots for a lazy afternoon.
• Luodong Night Market: A 12-minute drive away, this iconic night market is famous for its affordable local street food, from Yilan’s signature green onion pancakes and scallion oil rice to cold fermented milk. Arrive hungry to sample your way through dozens of stalls, then pick up handcrafted souvenirs.
• Meihua Lake: A 15-minute drive from the homestay, this serene alpine lake is ringed by hiking trails and cycling paths. Rent a bike to circle the water, go for a gentle hike up the nearby hill for panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains, or stop at a local tea house for a cup of freshly brewed tea.

Travel Tips

The property only accommodates Chinese-speaking guests currently, so non-Chinese speakers should arrange for a translator if needed. Parking spots are limited, so be sure to reserve your spot at least 3 days in advance of your arrival. The homestay is a 10-minute drive from Luodong Train Station; if you’re not driving, you can take a 15-minute taxi from the station for a low fare. Book at least two weeks in advance during peak seasons (summer and the Lunar New Year holiday) to secure your preferred room.
