Attractions

Three unmissable local attractions are all within a 10-minute drive or 20-minute walk of the hotel: First, Luodong Forestry Culture Park is just a 15-minute walk away. This sprawling former lumber mill turned public park combines preserved industrial architecture, lotus ponds, shaded walking trails, and rotating art exhibitions. It’s the perfect spot for morning photos, picnics, and learning about Luodong’s history as a center of Taiwan’s logging industry. Second, Luodong Night Market is five minutes on foot from the hotel. One of Yilan’s best-loved night markets, it serves iconic local specialties including green onion pancakes, scallion oil noodles, grilled baby squid, and Yilan milkfish balls, all at budget-friendly prices. Arrive before 6 PM to beat the weekend crowds. Third, Luodong Sports Park is a 10-minute drive away, a vast green space with a large central lake, bicycle rental paths, and wild lotus fields that bloom in summer. It’s ideal for lazy afternoons cycling or birdwatching.

Travel Tips

If you are driving, book your free parking spot at least 48 hours ahead of check-in, as space is limited. For non-drivers, the hotel is a five-minute walk from Luodong Bus Station, with frequent direct buses to Taipei and other Yilan attractions like Jiaoxi and Wufengqi Waterfall. Since the hotel only offers Chinese-language service, have your booking confirmation translated or saved with the address and contact number to avoid confusion upon arrival. Don’t forget to pack mosquito repellent for trips to the nearby parks, especially in spring and summer, and bring an umbrella – Yilan’s weather can turn to quick afternoon showers at any time of year. For guests arriving by airport shuttle, confirm your pickup time and additional fee with the hotel at least one week in advance to secure your spot.
