Leaf Inn

Top choice in Hualien


The Leaf absolutely nails it with a jazzy, artistic take on industrial chic that has miraculously transformed a seemingly hopeless monstrosity of 1960s concrete into an oasis of design-book cool.

Check in at the droolingly hip cafe which also serves beers and single-malt Nantou whiskey at a bar fronted by a collage of discarded piping...plus a half-size racing car. There's easy parking and bicycles are provided since the port area location is a tad out of the centre, beside the contrastingly grandiose Fullon Hotel, whose twin domes do a colour-changing turn at night. Prices change daily according to demand.
