Travel Tips
Since the hotel has no on-site parking, if you’re renting a car, book a spot at the nearby Huwei Township public parking lot on Renai Road, a three-minute walk from the hotel, in advance during peak weekends and holiday periods. Come hungry: the hotel’s breakfast includes local favorites like steamed meat buns and Huwei’s famous rice pudding, so don’t fill up on snacks before you head down to the dining room. Huwei’s best night market (Huwei Zhengqi Road Night Market) runs every Tuesday and Friday, just an eight-minute walk from the hotel, so time your trip to sample stinky tofu, grilled squid, and oyster omelets from local vendors. Finally, wear comfortable walking shoes: all of Huwei’s top attractions are easily reachable on foot from the hotel’s central location.
