Top choice in Eastern Taiwan & Taroko National Park


Brand-new, superclean rooms don't have much decor, but their winning feature is the view down onto the azure bay framed by wild, rocky ridges. To get the spectacular full panorama, go up to the open rooftop, though some rooms (notably 308) have partly obscured versions.

It's the three-storey house with canoe-patterned frontage and blue polka-dot sides – one of the last buildings on the seaward side of Rte 80 as you head north out of Dongqing (Iranmeylek). Delightful owner Tai Hui Lan is adept at communicating using Google Translate.
