Travel Tips

The hotel only accommodates Chinese-speaking guests at present, so non-Chinese speakers may want to bring a translation app for smooth check-ins. Book at least two weeks in advance during weekends, national holidays, and the winter hot spring season (November to March) to secure your preferred room type. Arrive hungry: the hotel can serve breakfast directly to your room, and dozens of famous Jiaoxi beef noodle shops and green onion pastry stalls are just a two-minute walk down Ren’ai Road. For day trips, use the hotel’s free bicycles to cycle along the Jiaoxi River bike path, which connects all of the town’s top attractions without the need for a car.
