The food is delicious, the dining environment is comfortable, and the boss is very polite. You can upgrade to a whole duck breast or leg by adding 20, which is very cost-effective. I will come back next time

The duck dish is sweet and delicious, the sausage rice is also delicious, and the milkfish soup has a rich and sweet soup. The look matches the high-speed rail ticket, and the set meal discount plan is highly recommended.

It's just a short walk from the high-speed rail station. When renting a car, it comes with a mobile phone holder, a helmet, and a raincoat. The cars are in new condition and are easy to ride. The attitude of the service staff is also great. Highly recommended.

I have stayed here many times. The meals are good and the overall clean. The beds are also good to sleep in. Because there are many guests, the own parking lot is often full. However, parking in nearby parking lots or on the roadside will provide subsidies or help. Pay the fee on your behalf, and ice and drinks are available at any time.
