Introduction

Nestled in the heart of Luodong Township, Yilan’s most charming cultural and commercial hub, Tung Jung Hotel (同榮大飯店) is a convenient, comfortable base for exploring everything this laid-back countryside destination has to offer. Perfect for family getaways, solo travelers, and romantic retreats alike, this locally owned hotel combines central location with thoughtful, value-driven amenities that make it a favorite among repeat visitors to Yilan.

Hotel Overview

Tung Jung Hotel is located at No. 32, Zhongzheng North Road, Luodong Township, putting you steps away from Luodong’s best night markets, eateries, and transit links. The hotel offers a range of accommodation, including spacious family rooms ideal for groups traveling with children, all designed for comfort with strict non-smoking policies throughout. Every room is fitted with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen cable TVs, air conditioning, and in-room extras you’d expect from higher-end properties: a private bathroom with free toiletries, a hairdryer, fluffy towels and slippers, a bathtub or shower, plus a refrigerator, electric kettle, work desk, and closet. Many rooms also open out onto private balconies with sweeping city views. On-site amenities include a full restaurant serving local Yilan specialties, free private parking that requires no reservation (a huge perk in busy downtown Luodong), 24-hour front desk service, daily housekeeping, luggage storage, wake-up calls, and fax/printing services for business travelers. The multilingual staff speaks both English and Chinese, making check-in seamless for international visitors.

Attractions

Tung Jung Hotel’s central location puts three top Luodong attractions within easy reach:

• Luodong Night Market: Just a 5-minute walk from the hotel, this is one of Taiwan’s most beloved regional night markets. Don’t miss local specialties like scallion pancake with egg, red quail egg soup, and Yilan peanut ice cream rolls, all served up by friendly third-generation vendors.
• Luodong Forestry Culture Park: A 10-minute drive or 20-minute bike ride away, this sprawling former timber factory turned cultural park features leafy walking trails, historic industrial buildings, art exhibitions, and the iconic blue lake that’s perfect for picnic afternoons.
• Luodong Sports Park: A 15-minute walk from the hotel, this 47-hectare urban park is famous for its iconic giant bamboo-shaped clock tower, lotus ponds, and cycling paths, ideal for a morning jog or leisurely afternoon stroll.

Travel Tips

If you’re visiting during peak weekends or Yilan’s popular summer harvest season, book your room at least two weeks in advance to secure a balcony room with a view. The hotel’s free parking fits standard sedans; if you’re driving a larger van, notify the front desk in advance to confirm space. Most major attractions within Luodong are walkable or bikeable—rent a YouBike from the station two minutes from the hotel for just NT$10 per half hour to explore at your own pace. For breakfast, try the hotel’s on-site congee and fried dough sticks set, a traditional Taiwanese start to the day that beats any chain hotel breakfast.
