ROOM WITH A VIEW
Small room but with the amenities of a much more expensive hotel. Incredibly good price. Apparently, every room has a balcony and mine had gorgeous views of the mountains. After all, this town is at the foot of Yu Shan mountain—also, the collision of two tectonic plates over by the river. Cutest town on the east coast? Low-key, uncrowded (unlike many villages here), incredibly easy scooter or bike rental at the train station. The hotel also has bicycles for guests…I’ve heard the Yuli hot springs are great, too. With much apprehension, I tried the famous Yuli Stinky Tofu. I survived, and can honestly say it WASN’T BAD(!).
