Fullon Hotel Lihpao Resort is a resort-style stay in the Lihpao Resort area, outside the busy city centre, and it appeals to a different kind of traveller from the central hotels in this guide. It is the choice for families, groups and drivers who want more space, a holiday atmosphere and leisure facilities close to a resort and theme-park complex. The compromise is distance: most of the best city sights are a drive away, so it works best for a relaxed break rather than a sightseeing sprint. Facilities and distances vary, so check the details when you book.
Location and getting around
This hotel sits in the Lihpao Resort area, north of the city centre, so it is a car, taxi or shuttle journey to Miyahara, the Calligraphy Greenway and the museum district. That makes it less convenient for a first-time visitor who wants to see everything on foot, but a good option for anyone who plans to spend time at the resort area or who has a rental car for day trips to Sun Moon Lake, Cingjing Farm or the forest parks. Check the map and the travel times when you book, and ask about shuttle services if you will not be driving.
Rooms and facilities
Resort hotels in this style typically offer larger rooms or family rooms, a relaxed lobby and a range of leisure facilities, and guests often come for the whole package rather than just a bed. Details such as a pool, kids activities, restaurants, spa and parking should be checked for your dates when you book, because they differ by room type and season. If you are travelling with children, ask about family room layouts and extra beds.
Who it suits and what to know: it suits families with children, multi-generational groups, drivers and couples who want a resort break with the option of day trips. It is less suited to travellers relying on public transport or those who want to eat at a different night market every evening, since the city centre is a longer ride away. Weekends and school holidays can be busy at resort hotels, so book ahead and compare rates with and without breakfast.
Tips for a good stay
Plan your sightseeing by clustering trips, for example a city day around Miyahara and the greenway followed by a resort day. Taxis for the return journey from a late night market can be harder to find, so arrange transport in advance, and check the weather forecast before booking outdoor activities. Summer afternoons can be hot and wet, so keep a flexible plan and enjoy the hotel when the sky turns grey.
