Dao Hua Siang

Top choice in Eastern Taiwan & Taroko National Park


Suave, spacious rooms all look across the valley with its rice paddies laid out before you. Views are especially impressive from the upper-floor rooms – there's even a view from your bathtub. Rates include a breakfast of filled croissant and fruit.

It's around 2km south of central Chishang. Follow Rte 東1 to Km7 then turn southeast for 100m and the hotel is on the right.
