          “Better location than expected.”

          When visiting Taichung, most people look for information around Taichung Park, especially in the districts of North District or South District. However, this area, which is often just seen as a cost-effective accommodation option, feels vibrant and bustling with young people, possibly due to the nearby university. There are also many restaurants that are not widely known online. Depending on your travel style, experiences may vary, but if you are looking for a lively area full of youthful energy with many hidden gems that are less famous than others but great for exploration, I believe this place would be a good accommodation option for traveling in this region.

          “Great!”

          Regarding the Pros, just walk a few meters and you see a lot of places to shop or eat. Countless. It’s a commercial district. Pros. For me, I’d rather stay in a cheap place so I could allot other spending money on my other wish lists. Cons. It does not have its own toilet. Cons. Since I am not an electronic knowledgeable user guy, I felt helpless how to get inside when we arrived. Cons. I had no one to talk to to help us gain entrance to the building. Good thing, there were people passing through who provided assistance. They called some number and operated the mechanism. I guess, part of the problem was it was written in Chinese characters. We didn’t see it written in alphabet. Well, I’m not a frequent traveler outside the Philippines, so it added to my complex situation we went through. But on the lighter side, the people are helpful even if their grasp of the English language is limited. Actually language barrier is something that always happens when I go to places where English is not widely spoken. Assessment. Nice place. Clean. Safe. Almost in everything there’s a camera whether vehicles or streets or establishments. And I am impressed with their hospitality to foreigners. It’s not a Japan or Singapore, but it is less crowded. And generally, a quiet and disciplined environment.

          “Wonderful accommodation”

          I had the impression that there were many people traveling by motorbike. I stayed for a week, and everyone was very quiet, making it a very comfortable stay. The bed can be surrounded by curtains, providing a minimum level of privacy. The toilet was always clean, and the shower pressure was strong. I would like to stay here again when I come to Taichung.
