Travel Tips

Book parking at least 24 hours in advance to secure a free spot. Higher floors offer the best mountain and river views, but note they are only accessible via stairs, so travelers with limited mobility should request a ground-floor room when booking. Bring a bathing suit for hot spring soaking, and don’t forget to try Jiaoxi’s famous green onion cakes and papaya milk from the nearby night market.
