Lakeshore Suao Hotel Shuttles

At the heart of Taiwan’s small Su’ao Township, the ethereal Lakeshore Hotel brings guests close to breathtaking views of the Philippine Sea as well as the quiet country charm of Yilan County. Well-crafted rooms offer huge work desks, modern art and vibrant furniture in addition to spa-like bathrooms adorned with whirlpool tubs and private balconies. A rooftop pool & restaurant bring a social atmosphere to the hotel, while a silent reading room creates on-site privacy. Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport is 116 km away from the hotel, whereas the smaller Hualien Airport is just 88 km south on the same shoreline. You can reach your flight through public transfers via the Su’ao Train Station as well as casual private lifts like sedans and chartered buses. And for those interested in getting around at the hand of someone else, choose from a few meet-and-greet services ranging from speedy taxis to low-cost local personal driver.

Find something fun to do the moment you arrive to Su’ao, whether that means taking a morning stroll across Qixingling Trail’s idyllic views from hilltop pagodas, or an going on an afternoon tour across Yilan Cake Factory process of making its world-famous biscuits. Other Su’ao eccentricities include a few odd-ball museums such as the Kili Bay Pearl Milk Tea Cultural Center, which showcases the history and diversity of the beloved Taiwanese drink, while the Anyo Museum offers family-friendly kitchen classes that teach anyone how to cook Thai-style. Free-of-charge getaways are also available near the water, where guests can soak up the sun from Neipi Beach before seeing it all in from the nearby Nanfangao Lookout’s observation deck. Walk along Zhao Chuan Road in Tofu Cape for dinner in the evening, enjoying traditional Taiwanese at The Good Place or going for the vibrant buffet lines at Yongfeng Seafood Restaurant for something closer to the hotel.
