The process of rushing to exchange the card at the airport is very convenient and fast. When you exit the gate, the booth is on your right. It is easy to get on and off without worrying about getting lost.

It's really convenient because it's close to the station. There are also rental bicycles so you can go to various places. In addition to bottled water, there is a water dispenser, which is very convenient. There is ice cream in the lounge, so you can be at ease. The breakfast is also luxurious for the price.

The room is clean & comfortable to stay. The water pressure is strong even though at the higher floor. The location is great, near to 7-11, food store & train station.

The ticket can be used to offset 20 yuan of consumption in the dining area. There are exhibits and interactive experiences inside. If you want to do DIY, you can purchase it at the ticket exchange counter. The food in the dining area is delicious and very suitable for bringing children for a walk. The chairman is very friendly.

The love river flows through the Kaohsiung city and merges with the sea nearby the pier. This place is close to MRT central park (red line). The cruise service operates until 10:00 PM. It is highly recommended to visit this place in night as the vibes fill in your mood.

It was a weekday night, so there were not many people and I was able to relax and enjoy the view. There wasn't much shaking, so I was able to enjoy the night view while feeling the pleasant breeze.

The hotel's location and surrounding facilities are very good, the food and accommodation quality are also very good, and the city view from the high floors is great. Next time I visit Kaohsiung, it will still be my first choice for accommodation.
