Nearby Attractions

Three can’t-miss local spots are all within a 15-minute drive of the hotel:

• Luodong Night Market: Just a 10-minute walk from Qingqing Wu, this is one of Taiwan’s most beloved small-town night markets. Don’t miss the iconic 蔥油餅 (scallion pancake), milkfish balls, and Yilan’s signature ginger candy, all served up by friendly local vendors in a lively, low-key atmosphere.
• Luodong Forestry Culture Park: A 10-minute drive away, this sprawling former lumber mill turned urban park blends natural beauty with industrial history. Wander leafy walking trails, explore historic wooden warehouses, and rent a paddleboat to glide across the park’s central lake.
• Yilan Children’s Folklark Park: 15 minutes from the hotel by car, this open-air cultural park showcases traditional Yilan folk art, architecture, and performance. It’s a great spot for families, with plenty of space for kids to run and hands-on craft workshops on weekends.

Travel Tips

Book your free parking spot at least 48 hours in advance to guarantee a space, as street parking near the hotel can fill up quickly on weekends and holidays. If you’re traveling during Yilan’s rainy autumn and winter months, pack waterproof shoes and an umbrella, as afternoon showers are common. Most street food vendors near the hotel are cash-only, so be sure to exchange enough New Taiwan Dollars before you arrive. For day trips to other Yilan spots like Jiaoxi or Taiping Mountain, the hotel’s tourism desk can help you book car rentals or connect you with local drivers for a hassle-free experience.
