Travel Tips

Arrive by car via National Highway No. 1, taking the Beigang exit and following signs to downtown Beigang – parking is free at the hotel, so no need to stress about finding a spot downtown. Come hungry: Beigang is famous for its beef soup, oyster vermicelli, and sesame oil chicken, all available at street stalls within a five-minute walk of the hotel. If you are visiting during major religious festivals (like Lunar New Year or Mazu’s birthday in the third lunar month), book your room at least one month in advance, as accommodation fills up quickly. Finally, wear comfortable walking shoes – most of Beigang’s best attractions are easily explored on foot from Chaosing Travel Hotel.
