Local Attractions

• Luodong Forestry Culture Park: A sprawling 16-hectare former lumber mill turned scenic park, 2 kilometers from the hotel. It features leafy walking trails, historic industrial buildings, art galleries, and the iconic lotus pond, perfect for slow afternoons or family picnics.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance, especially during weekends and Yilan’s popular summer harvest festivals, as family and pet-friendly rooms fill up quickly. If you plan to use the barbecue facilities, notify the front desk upon check-in to confirm availability. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Luodong Train Station, so it’s easily accessible even without a car, though free parking is a major perk for drivers exploring the wider Yilan area. Pack comfortable walking shoes for exploring the night market and forest park, and bring a light jacket even in summer, as Yilan’s mountain breezes can cool down evenings quickly.
