Hotels in Nantou

For travelers seeking a dramatic change of pace from Taipei's urban energy, Nantou offers Taiwan's mountainous heart. This is the island's only landlocked county, a region defined by the soaring peaks of Hehuanshan, the serene waters of Sun Moon Lake, and the high-altitude tea plantations of Alishan. Visitors come to hike through the marble cliffs of Taroko Gorge, cycle the scenic loop around the lake, and sample award-winning oolong tea in the cool air of Lugu Township.

Nantou suits outdoor enthusiasts, couples on a scenic retreat, and families looking for nature-focused adventures. Most visitors base themselves around Sun Moon Lake for its concentration of activities and dining, or in the small city of Puli for its central location and access to the Paper Dome and Chung Tai Chan Monastery. While having your own vehicle offers the most flexibility, a network of buses and tourist shuttles connects major sights from the High-Speed Rail station in nearby Taichung.

With 115 hotels listed on HOTEVI, your accommodation choices are as varied as the landscape. Options range from simple guesthouses near trailheads to elegant lakeside resorts with hot springs and, increasingly, stylish design hotels that blend modern comfort with the natural surroundings.
