The Luminous Hot Spring Resort & Spa (see on Booking / Agoda / TripAdvisor) is the only luxury option and place with a pool in town. They offer 台東名產伴手禮 pick-up, and you can sometimes see hot air balloons going by right from the rooms. See my Luye article for other B&B options and info for renting a scooter in town. For a taste of rural Taiwan, your next stop is Taitung County, the remotest corner of Taiwan and the country’s bread basket.

When returning from Taiwan, your gift is bound to also carry with it something of a “whaaaaaaat…? ” factor, as very few people outside of Taiwan are aware of Taiwan’s awesome craft beer scene. So bringing home a few bottles of a local Taiwanese beer isn’t a bad conversation starter either.

You can access water sports, cultural activities, dining and lodging from here.
