Holiday Inn Express Taichung Park is located in the Central District of Taichung City, adjacent to the well-connected Taichung Railway Station, with convenient transportation. Surrounded by the Yizhong business district and several Michelin Bib Gourmand recommended restaurants, guests can enjoy great convenience and comfort whether traveling for business or leisure. Since 2022, the hotel has gradually completed the comprehensive renovation of room and restaurants, and all facilities have been 100% upgraded. The renovated room and restaurant environment are more comfortable, bringing a more pleasant accommodation experience to every guest. The hotel is directly opposite Taichung Park, and is within walking distance to must-see attractions in Taichung such as Yizhong Street, Miyahara, Green River, the Fourth Credit Union, Taichung Second Market, etc. It is also not far from the Wuma Yakiniku Zhongyou branch, so the location is very good.


– Attractions Introduction –

【Huoyanshan Nature Reserve】
Geologically, it is a platform accumulation of the Quaternary period and is the product of violent mountain-building movement. Its rock strata are mainly composed of thick gravel interspersed with thin sandstone with weak cementation. Due to continuous weathering and erosion, the terrain is fragmented and the cutting surface is often very smooth due to the erosion of rainwater. Therefore, the appearance forms a combination of sharp peaks and deep valleys filled with pebbles. If you view it from south to north, you will be able to see its magnificent scenery more clearly. The south-facing mountain stream is sometimes dry and looks like a pebble river. The mouth of the valley is piled up into a gravel alluvial fan, forming a very special landform. Especially under the afterglow of the setting sun, the whole mountain looks red, as if flames are dancing, hence the name "Fire Mountain".

【Taichung Imperial Sugar Factory】
The historic building "Imperial Sugar Factory Taichung Sales Office and Ancillary Facilities" was formerly the Taichung factory of the Japanese Imperial Sugar Co., Ltd. It is located in Takasago Town, Taichung City, Taichung Prefecture, which is now the East District of Taichung City. Currently, the only building that remains is the one that was built in April 1935 and was used as the Taichung office of the Taiwan Sugar Company after the war. Due to the impact of international sugar prices and the transformation of Taiwan's industrial structure, the Taichung Sugar Factory ceased production in the 1990s and a large number of original buildings were demolished year by year. This building is the only remaining building from the Japanese colonial period in the entire area.

【Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport Taichung】
Located in the East District of Taichung City, it is only about a 6-minute walk from the Taiwan Railway Taichung Station. In addition, it is close to the Taisugar Ecological Lakeside Park. In addition to preserving the old Taisugar Factory with historical and cultural value, the park has been renovated to integrate nature and water sources, and is now a new landscape green park in the East District of Taichung that combines modernity and history. The entire museum is divided into two buildings, the "North Building" and the "South Building". (Each person will receive a free copy of Taichung's popular Lvhe puff)

【Dakeng Scenic Area】
There are currently 14 hiking trails with a total length of approximately 17.7 kilometers, divided into different levels of difficulty. There are hot springs formed by the 921 earthquake nearby. The original Jungong Elementary School and Dongshan Junior High School were rebuilt into the Dakeng Earthquake Memorial Park due to the 921 earthquake. The remains of the Chelungpu fault zone and the dilapidated school buildings are preserved for educational use. The park is connected to Trail 9 below. Due to its convenient parking and moderate difficulty, it is currently the most popular place for holiday rest.

[Zhongke Waili Cherry Blossom Park/Tongluo Paozhang Flower Sea Park/Tonghua Lohas Park (adjusted according to the season)]
Houli Zhongke Waili Cherry Blossom Park was planted by Taichung Waili Mechanical and Electrical Institute. It has a 100-meter-long cherry blossom trail with Kawazu cherry blossoms, green-calyx cherry blossoms, Fuji cherry blossoms, Yoshino cherry blossoms, and pink double cherry blossoms, making you feel like you are surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers. It is right to come to Houli to enjoy the cherry blossoms.
The "Firecracker Flower Tunnel" is right at the Tongluo Environmental Protection Park on the roadside! This is a long park green belt with pavilions and observation decks, from which you can overlook the Houlong River Valley and the Hakka Bridge in the distance. Thanks to the firecracker flowers that bloom in February and March every year, it has become a popular check-in hotspot in Miaoli in recent years. Tens of thousands of orange-yellow flowers bloom along the trail, hanging on the green leaf walls. Combined with several mountain cherry blossoms blooming at the same time in the park, the brightly colored sea of ​​flowers is breathtaking.
