Zhao Pin Hotel Miaoli Chairman Zheng Zhaojie is highly optimistic about the tourism market in Zhunan and Miaoli. The newly completed Zhao Pin Hotel Miaoli offers a total of 191 guest rooms. The new building introduces uniquely crafted Exclusive Suites, spectacular View Suites with excellent sightlines, Executive Suites ideal for meetings, as well as stylish and cozy Family Rooms designed specifically for family travelers. These provide a wide range of options to meet the varied needs of guests traveling from afar. Each room boasts more than 12 ping (approximately 39.6 m²) of space and is equipped with an outward-facing window, ensuring ample natural light. The interior style is minimalist, with a deep blue color scheme that creates a relaxing and soothing atmosphere. The Family Room features a marble-integrated workstation that combines a desk, wardrobe, and sink in a clever use of space. The open wardrobe design ensures guests won’t forget their personal belongings, while discreetly placed power outlets offer both aesthetic appeal and safety, contributing to a homely feel.

Additionally, Zhao Pin Hotel Miaoli invested tens of millions to create the “Leisure & Wellness Center,” which delivers a jungle-like subtropical ambiance and provides a full array of leisure facilities. These include a fitness center, a stylishly designed swimming pool, and a sauna, allowing guests to unwind and relieve stress with ease. The new building also adds the “Jiangnan Bites” snack bar, where the overall dining environment presents an oriental and elegant style. With 116 seats, it serves à la carte stir-fried dishes, xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), steamed dumplings, and other dim sum offerings. The diverse menu allows guests to enjoy both hearty and refined meals. Furthermore, continuing the Baroque-style classical architectural theme of the main building, an outdoor Roman-style courtyard garden has been designed, offering couples hosting events here the chance to create romantic European-style weddings and cherish unforgettable memories.

Miaoli, known for its unique attractions such as “tung blossoms,” “wood carvings,” “hot springs,” “fruits,” “ceramics,” and “Hakka cuisine,” has gradually gained recognition as a notable tourist destination. Many locals take advantage of holidays to visit Miaoli. Since opening in 2009, Zhao Pin Hotel Miaoli—nestled in this idyllic locale—has been dedicated to promoting Miaoli’s tourism. Not only has it collaborated with various attractions to launch tour packages such as those to Shangri-La and Baba Tunnel, but it also actively supports local town tourism in Zhunan and Toufen, including partnerships with the Zhunan Cathay Glass Sightseeing Factory and community-based ecological tours. It is currently the only hotel in the Miaoli area to have received international star-rated hotel certification.
