Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local attractions are all within a 15-minute drive of the hotel:

• Hsinchu City God Temple: Just a 10-minute walk from the hotel, this 18th-century temple is the heart of Hsinchu’s old town, famous for its stunning traditional wood carvings and surrounding street food stalls serving iconic local dishes like Hsinchu rice noodles and pork balls.
• Xiangshan Wetland: A 15-minute drive from the property, this scenic coastal wetland is home to hundreds of species of migratory birds, with shaded boardwalks perfect for leisurely sunset walks and casual birdwatching.
• Leofoo Village Theme Park: Around 40 minutes from central Hsinchu by car, this popular combination of wildlife safari and amusement park is a hit for families, with thrilling roller coasters, open-range animal encounters, and themed zones that suit visitors of all ages.

Travel Tips

If you plan to explore the old town and temple area, opt for walking or public transit instead of driving, as street parking near the city center can be hard to find on weekends. Try to arrive early at the temple to beat the crowds and sample freshly made street food before the most popular stalls sell out. For the best experience at Xiangshan Wetland, visit during low tide to see exposed mudflats teeming with crabs and wading birds, and bring a light jacket for coastal breezes. Remember that parking near the hotel cannot be reserved in advance, so if you are driving, budget extra time to find a spot when you check in.
