Travel Tips

Millu 32 only accommodates guests who speak Chinese, so non-Chinese speakers should bring a translation app for check-in and any requests. Book your parking spot in advance, even though it’s free, as space is limited. Since there’s no on-site internet, download offline maps and any entertainment you’ll want before you arrive. For outdoor activities like hiking and off-site canoeing or paid fishing, ask the property’s front desk to arrange bookings in advance to secure your spot. Yilan’s weather can get cool in the winter, so pack layers if you’re traveling between December and February, and bring bug spray for outdoor evenings in the summer.
