About the neighborhood

Located in Yuchi, Owl Hostel is connected to a shopping center. Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village is a popular area attraction and if an activity is on the agenda, Yidashao Pier and Sun Moon Lake Ropeway are worth checking out. Sun Moon Lake and Sun Moon Lake Wen Wu Temple are two other places to visit that come recommended. Kayaking and water tubing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and mountain climbing nearby.

Great place to relax at Sun Moon Lake

Great location minutes from lake & boat jetty. Also close to signed walks arond the lake & treks in the forest. Large comfortable capsule room & clean bathrooms. Staff are helpful & friendly. Relaxing kitchen/dining area with free tea & coffee.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
On the same street as Wyndham Sun Moon Lake, but cost 10x less. Good for 1-2nights stay. Clean place with private, lockable cabins, and very near the ITA Thao shopping street and pier. You can walk along the lake to the cable car station and the Nine Frogs Stack 九蛙疊像. Even though the opening hours of some food stores are quite unpredictable, there are plenty of options and two convenience stores around.

Potential bug bite

I think I had bug bites after this, because after check-out and returning home, I had itches and found several bite marks. Please take care in cleaning the bedsheets, blankets, pillow cases, and towels.
