Experience of the stay
I stayed here because I had a flight at 9 AM the next day. The building itself is quite old, but the room seemed freshly renovated, very clean and nice. However, the hairdryer would shut off after about a minute of use, and even after pressing the switch, it wouldn't work again for about five minutes, creating a frustrating cycle. There's nothing in walking distance (such as convenience stores or restaurants) around the hotel, so it's fine if you're just looking for a place to sleep. The breakfast is rather poor, so I wouldn’t have high expectations. The front desk asked me when checking in if I needed a taxi to the airport and arranged it. It cost 200 TWD to get to the airport (as of April 2024), taking less than 15 minutes. There's also a quietly placed ATM near the front desk (I didn't use it, so I can't confirm if it's functional).
Experiences during the trip
On my first trip to Taiwan 🇹🇼, I traveled with my elementary school daughter from Japan to Taipei, then to Singapore. The main event in Taiwan, visiting Jiufen and Shifen, was challenging due to heavy rain. However, it was great to release lanterns in the downpour. Jiufen was also very beautiful when the sun went down. Since I was with a child, I arranged a private taxi through KKday instead of a group tour, which allowed us more flexibility with our time. The taxi driver took many photos when we were releasing lanterns and later sent them to us via LINE. I hope to have a rematch on a sunny day next time. The night market, which is a must in Taiwan, was also enjoyable. I personally recommend the soy milk tea from Sihai Doujiang Dawang. The braised pork rice with fried egg from Tiantian Lishifang is a flavor that even children can enjoy. Although there was quite a line, it moved quickly, and we only waited about 15 minutes.
