Miaoli

smooth travel from Taipei to Taichung~ we get to visit the Capoo House and Foamcat Cafe. Enjoyed Miyahara and Old Taichung Station which also has another Foamcat Cafe. We really enjoyed our day trip!

I had fun exploring Southern Taiwan with this 3 day pass. Very easy to use, it comes with a booklet that you'll get from the HSR counter. You can book your HSR in advance through the website, can even change your time of departure when you go to the counter. My accomodation is in Taipei and the day trips in Taichung and Tainan was just a breeze. HSR also provides free shuttle bus between HSR station to the main city, just research for the bus number. You have to go through the staff at the gates to pass through, they will inspect the booklet. I'll comeback to explore more of South Taiwan!

Our driver arrived 15 minutes early. Our driver, 小楊 (Yang), always helped us get in and out of the car, which we really appreciated. I also forgot to include two locations in the Changhua itinerary I sent beforehand, but he accommodated them very well without any issue. He even recommended a really delicious rou bao (肉包) near Lukang Longshan Temple—after tasting it, we ended up buying a whole box to eat at the hotel. Communication via LINE was smooth and easy. He also played great music during the drive; I honestly wish I knew his playlist. We had a very pleasant and comfortable drive to and from Lukang. Highly recommended.

The driver was on time, courteous, and polite! Since public transportation isn't great in Chiayi, I tried a chartered car for the first time to explore. The entire trip was comfortable and convenient. I'm so glad I booked a car for my Korean family's visit to Taiwan! 🫶🏻

The hotel facilities are pretty good, with a swimming pool, spa, and game room. It's just that it's not very convenient to buy things nearby; you need to drive. I recommend just eating dinner at the hotel. If I have the chance to visit Miaoli again, I would stay here again.

1.Exquisite exterior and renovation 2 .Neat and cozy swimming pool and spa 3. Only adversity is that tea -related beverage ☕ is not offered during breakfast period

A little off from train station but understandable since it is located in the forested area.

Nice hotel, very pleasant room (mountain view and hot baths). Although we didn't opt for a meal plan (it seems recommended outside of tourist season), the chef always offered us something.

We stayed in a cozy family room for four, opting for the no-breakfast option. Booking through Klook was significantly cheaper. The hotel has very few parking spaces, but parking nearby wasn't too bad, which was convenient. There's a PX Mart, a 7-Eleven, and some local eateries. The interior is a bit outdated, but the cleanliness was decent overall. Overall, it was a comfortable stay.
