Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are just a short drive or bike ride from Hello House:

• Luodong Night Market: Just 10 minutes away by car, this is Yilan’s most beloved night market, famous for tangy scallion pancakes, fresh grilled squid, creamy milkfish ball soup, and handmade sesame oil desserts. Come hungry to wander the maze of food stalls and browse quirky local handicrafts.
• Luodong Forestry Culture Park: A 15-minute walk from the hotel, this sprawling former lumber mill turned public park blends industrial history with lush green space.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance, especially during Yilan’s hot spring season (winter) and summer holiday weekends, when Luodong’s guesthouses fill up quickly. If you’re bringing a pet, remember to notify the hotel at the time of booking to confirm availability and any extra fees. Note that upper floors are only accessible via stairs, so if you have mobility needs, request a ground-floor room when booking. Rent a scooter or bike from a local shop near Luodong Train Station to easily explore the area, as most attractions are within 20 minutes of the hotel.
