Travel Tips

The hotel only accommodates Chinese-speaking guests, so non-Chinese speakers may want to use a translation app for check-in. Book your stay in advance during major temple festivals and Xiluo’s annual agricultural fairs, as rooms fill up quickly. Come hungry: Xiluo’s best street food stalls open early, so ask the front desk for their local recommendations to avoid tourist traps. If you’re traveling without a car, local county buses connect the hotel to other Yunlin attractions like Beigang Old Street from the nearby Xiluo Bus Station, just a 10-minute walk away.
