Hotels near Small Swiss Garden, Ren'ai

The best part is the hotel's hot spring in the back. Breakfast was also very simple but tasty (for Taiwanese). The rooms are functional and have mountain/valley views. Overall, Lushan is a very interesting area. Once upon a time, it was obviously a vibrant hot spring resort town but now it sits empty. Typhoons and landslides have led the government to condemn most of the buildings. The closed hotels are filled with rocks silt. Shops are trying their hardest to keep going. It's hard to imagine a recovery for this area, despite the immutable soothing natural hot springs. What a fascinating tale. Definitely worth a visit, but not on a rainy day.

The hot spring outdoor in the nature! It would be a great getaway deep in the mountains. The personal hot pot for dinner was delicious (need reservation ahead), as well as the breakfast. The female host was friendly and thoughtful.

This B&B (Misty Villa on Google maps is other name) is located in the perfect spot for a vacation in Ren'ai. The bus stop is right at the end of the street and you are close to restaurants and shops for dining and snacks. The Sky-walk and Cingjing farm is either 3 bus stops up road or you can walk there using the path and walkways from the hotel if you do not mind a bit of an uphill climb. All the rooms for this hotel have a fabulous view of the mountains and valley and both the sunrises and sunsets are fabulous. The rooms are very clean and have both AC and heat if needed and many have a balcony. The showers are hot with good water pressure. My room had a fridge for snacks and drinks. The manager, Nina, is fluent in English which made planning my day trips so much easier as she whatapp'd me maps and suggestions each day along with bus routes and times. Make sure you take the Sunrise trip with star gazing and she can arrange it for you for 550. As well as taking the bus up to Hehuanshan mountain for a few hours for some great views and hiking, Closer to the hotel, the local venue's are very affordable. Miru, the barista in the restaurant is also fluent in English and prepared my breakfast each day with a smile. I will definitely return to this property. Many of the other properties in this area do not offer English, so if you are not fluent in local language this is the place to come.

The location was amazing being perched on the sunset side of Qingjing where we had a wonderful view of the sea of clouds. Our room also had sentimental touches that will stay with us - such as the glow in the dark stargazing ceiling (we were in the Saturn room), the heated mattress and floors, and the lovely east facing balcony. We will come back.
