Hotel Overview

Qin Shui 89 Xiang Le Homestay’s address at No. 89, Alley 58, Section 2, Qinhe Road, Wujie Township puts you steps from the water, with easy access to Yilan’s top attractions. All rooms are thoughtfully equipped with air conditioning, heating, flat-screen TVs, free WiFi, and tea/coffee-making facilities with electric kettles and mini-fridges for storing local snacks and drinks. Every room features a private en-suite bathroom with a deep soaking bathtub, perfect for easing sore muscles after a day of exploring, plus complimentary toiletries, a hairdryer, towels, and slippers. On-site amenities cater to every type of traveler: free private parking (including an electric vehicle charging station) is available without a reservation, and kids can burn off energy at the children’s outdoor playground. Adults can unwind in the lush garden, join a paid hands-on cooking class to learn how to make traditional Yilan dishes, or relax in the shared guest lounge. The homestay is entirely non-smoking, with 24/7 security via smoke detectors, CCTV in common areas, and key card access, and staff speak both English and Mandarin for international guests.

Attractions

Three top local attractions are all within a 15-minute drive of the homestay:

• Dongshan River Water Park: Just 5 minutes away, this sprawling riverside park is Yilan’s most beloved outdoor spot. Walk or bike along tree-lined riverbanks, rent a paddleboat, or catch the annual Yilan International Children’s Folklore and Folk Festival held here every summer.
• National Center for Traditional Arts: A 10-minute drive from the homestay, this open-air cultural campus preserves Taiwan’s traditional crafts, performance arts, and architecture. Wander historic alleys, watch puppet shows, try hand-painted folding fans, and sample local street snacks like green onion pancake and peanut ice cream rolls.
• Luodong Forestry Culture Park: 15 minutes away, this former lumber mill turned peaceful park features sun-dappled lakes, preserved industrial heritage, and shaded walking trails. It’s perfect for birdwatching, photography, and a quiet picnic away from crowds.

Travel Tips

Book your cooking class at least 48 hours in advance to secure a spot, as classes fill up quickly during peak travel seasons. If you’re visiting in summer, pack mosquito repellent for evenings spent in the homestay’s garden or for walks along the Dongshan River. The homestay is just a 10-minute drive from the Luodong Train Station, so if you’re traveling without a car, you can easily take a short taxi or Uber from the station to the property. For the best rates, book directly through the homestay’s official website rather than third-party platforms, and ask about seasonal discounts for midweek stays.
