A Travel Guide to Steel & Screw Hotel (鋼與螺絲), Luodong
Introduction
Nestled in the heart of Luodong, one of Yilan County’s most charming cultural hubs, Steel & Screw (鋼與螺絲) is a boutique budget hotel that leans into Luodong’s industrial heritage while offering modern comfort for travelers exploring Taiwan’s northeast. This family-run property is perfect for backpackers, couple travelers, and slow travelers who want to stay within walking distance of Luodong’s best street food, night markets, and natural attractions.
Hotel Overview
Steel & Screw is located at No. 48-6, Zhongxiao Road, Luodong Township, putting it just a 10-minute walk from Luodong Train Station for easy access from Taipei. The property’s cozy, industrial-inspired design complements its thoughtful range of amenities to suit all travel styles.

Convenient in-room extras include clothes hangers and drying racks, ideal for travelers venturing out on Yilan’s rainy days. Useful services include free private parking nearby (reservation required), luggage storage, and an optional paid airport shuttle for international visitors. Only Chinese is spoken by staff, so having a translation app handy is helpful for international guests.
Nearby Attractions
Three unmissable attractions are all within a 15-minute drive (or 30-minute bike ride) of the hotel:
- Luodong Night Market: A 5-minute walk from the hotel, this is one of Taiwan’s best-loved night markets, famous for tangy grilled red yeast chicken, silky scallion pancake wraps, and Yilan’s iconic winter melon lemon tea. Come hungry to wander the tight lanes packed with local snacks and handicraft stalls.
- Luodong Forestry Culture Park: A 10-minute bike ride away, this 16-hectare former lumber mill turned public park preserves Luodong’s logging history. Wander sun-dappled trails, explore restored industrial warehouses, and rent a paddleboat on the park’s central lake for a quiet afternoon away from the crowds.
- Jimmy’s Moon Bus: Located on the edge of the Luodong Cultural Factory, just 12 minutes from the hotel on foot, this public art installation from beloved picture book author Jimmy Liao is a whimsical spot for photos and quiet reflection, capturing the magical, nostalgic tone of Liao’s work.
Travel Tips
Book your free parking spot at least 48 hours in advance, as spots fill up quickly during weekends and holiday periods. If you’re arriving by train, the 10-minute walk from Luodong Station is flat and easy, even with rolling luggage. Stop at a local bike shop near the station to rent an electric bike for a day of exploring Yilan’s flat, scenic countryside—many shops offer drop-off back near the hotel for a small fee. Finally, visit Luodong Night Market on a weekday if you can to avoid the massive weekend crowds that can fill the lanes by 7PM.
