The hotel is very nice. We loved the fact that it is located in front of Ximending Walking District. We did night market all nights during our stay. I doesn’t have bidet though. 🙂 But still very clean and accessible to all. Ximen station is beneath.

The tour went smoothly. Our tour guide, Vince, was very attentive to our needs. The time spent on the bus was entertaining thanks to his stories, historical insights, and recommendations about the places we visited that day. He truly seems to enjoy his job, and it made the experience even better.
