T-Life

Taichung


Two blocks of very pleasant dorm rooms and double rooms, including one block devoted entirely to women. There's also a quiet lounge with a kitchenette. T-Life is 1.5km away from Tung Hai University by foot – an excellent option if you want to be near the airport or Gaomei Wetlands.
