The two young men at the Traveler's Inn provided excellent service. We saw them busy running around early in the morning, yet they were still so friendly to us, which we really appreciated. The bicycles themselves were also great to ride. When we returned them, they even gave us two cups of black tea! 👍 Sun Moon Lake is truly beautiful, and we'll definitely visit again next time! 🥰

The owner is very friendly. The 6-speed ladies' bike was more than enough for the Shuishe-Xiangshan route, and I didn't get tired. Although there weren't many ladies' bikes, the owner maintains them well. Using the QR code made borrowing the bike smooth and easy. There was no time limit. It was a pleasant experience.

The shop was easy to find, right in the middle of downtown. The transaction was smooth and hassle-free. We simply went inside, showed our QR code, and got our bikes. There were different bike sizes available to choose from.
The only downside was that the horn on my bike wasn't working properly. Also, no safety gear, such as helmets, was provided, which would have been nice to have.
Overall, it was a convenient and straightforward bike rental experience.

This was my first stay at Fleur de Chine, and I felt it offered incredible value! Everything was fantastic—the food, the environment, the service, and even the hotel activities. You could easily stay at the hotel the whole time without needing to go out. It's the kind of place where kids can burn off energy and adults can relax and de-stress. Even the children are already asking to come back next time! 👍

The hotel facilities are new, and the family room bathroom with double sinks is a thoughtful touch. The mini-bar items are abundant (including Sun Moon Lake black tea and Kuai Kuai snacks with black tea latte flavor) and are provided free of charge. We hope this continues!

The location is great! 👍 It's right on the first row of Shuishe Pier, and the lake view of Sun Moon Lake is beautiful. Just sitting on the balcony and enjoying the scenery puts you in a good mood. The view changes with the sunlight from morning to evening. Breakfast is simple but delicious 😋, and I was satisfied eating it two days in a row. The only downside is that the bidet toilet is too loud.

Although it's an older hotel, the facilities and service are excellent, and there's free parking. Soaking in the hot spring in a lake-view room is truly a great pleasure. It's a shame we visited during the dry season; it was so dry that nine frogs even appeared. The hotel's breakfast is very diverse, with freshly cooked noodles and tea eggs, which is very satisfying and I really enjoyed it. Additionally, bicycles are available for free rental, which is a great deal.

Nantou at a glance
Quick facts about Nantou
General info
What to know before visiting Nantou
Quick overview of Nantou County and what to expect
Nantou County sees strong interest year-round for outdoor and family-friendly experiences, with Zoos & aquariums, Tours, Theme parks, Cable cars and Parks & gardens leading bookings. Demand peaks in April and dips in September, so the rhythm of the year swings between a busy spring and a noticeably quieter autumn.
When to visit and how prices move
According to Klook booking data, April is the busiest month while September is the quietest. Prices trend differently from demand: the priciest month on record is July, while Klook bookings show May is typically the cheapest. That means the busiest month (April) isn’t the most expensive, and travellers looking for lower prices and smaller crowds should aim for May or September, while those chasing peak-season atmosphere should plan for April or July when activity is highest.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most visitors from the United States book quite close to arrival—typical Klook bookings happen about a day ahead, though some travellers secure plans earlier. For short, flexible trips you can comfortably book last-minute options, but if you travel in April or July consider booking attractions a bit earlier to lock in preferred times. Use Klook to compare activities and confirm bookings quickly as your trip shapes up.
