Frog & Pheasant B&B

Eastern Taiwan & Taroko National Park


For a middle-of-nowhere, agricultural vibe, head 6km north of Luye where this neat if simply adorned Spanish-style villa is set amid fields around 400m east of Ruiyan train station, one stop north of Luye.

It features large, unfussy rooms with prices that rise 25% at weekends but drop 25% October to May (outside national holidays). Large rooms from NT$3600 sleep six.

Walking takes around 10 minutes from Ruiyan station as its exit is on the west (wrong) side of the tracks.
