The family hotel [Railway Travel Inn], which just opened this May, is the latest masterpiece from Taimali Dawn Resort. During the summer vacation, you might even spot the lead actors from the movie “Cold Steel,” as the Taitung-born director Huang Zhaoliang spent five years preparing this film, based on the traditional Taitung folk custom of “Bombing the God of War.” This time, both the director and crew stayed at Railway Travel Inn!

[Railway Travel Inn] is nestled within a high-end residential area in Taitung City, situated in the tallest building, allowing you to experience the most comfortable lifestyle in Taitung. The surroundings feature stunning standalone villas and Western-style houses, with highly convenient local amenities. The hotel offers three room types: Japanese-style, Sky City, and Forest House—all thoughtfully designed for families. Breaking away from the rigid layouts of typical hotels, they provide a unique experience that kids are sure to love.
Adjacent to the upscale residential area is Taitung City’s famous bicycle wooden boardwalk, featuring separate walking and cycling paths shaded by dense tree canopies, ensuring you stay cool even in the peak of summer. It’s a relaxing spot for strolling or cycling with your family. The boardwalk is lined with popular eateries, and the must-visit children’s destination, Lai Ma Picture Book Library, is also located here. The path ends at Taitung’s popular photo spots: the “Taitung Railway Art Village,” “Iron Flower Village,” and “Eslite Taitung Story House.” Iron Flower Village often hosts musical performances, the “Weekend Slow Market” events, and various specialty shops. A quick online search will reveal numerous articles about it—it’s the most famous attraction in Taitung City.
The hotel thoughtfully offers a no-breakfast package option, allowing you to sleep in without rushing to eat breakfast. Additionally, there are popular traditional breakfast spots and delicious brunch options nearby. The hotel front desk can also provide you with information on many popular breakfast spots in Taitung. With such great value, why not come for an authentic Taitung trip right away?
The name [Railway Travel Inn] comes from its location next to the old railway tracks of Taitung. When the railway stopped operating, the tracks were transformed into a beautiful bicycle wooden boardwalk, leading all the way to the old Taitung Train Station, which has now been renamed Iron Flower Village. Don’t miss out on this experience—this voucher is only valid for a limited time and cannot be used the next day. It's a new facility distinct from other urban hotels, and kids are sure to love it.
