\nTotal Distance | Driving Time: 1.4 KM | 3 mins<\/p>\n

We drove back to Shifen Old Street and managed to get a very good parking slot. Shifen Old Street is filled mainly by sky lanterns \u00e5\u00a4\u00a9\u00e7\u2021\u02c6 and souvenir shops on both sides of the railway track. We got our own colourful lanterns from one of the shops and started on writing our wishes on them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another lantern released into the sky.<\/p>\n

Took a break to let the train pass.<\/p>\n

\nTotal Distance | Driving Time: 52.0 KM | 90 mins<\/p>\n

We arrived in Yilan after driving for 1.5 hours. We took a while to locate Shanpu Hot Spring BnB because we didn’t expect it to be a shop house!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our Shanpu Hot Spring BnB<\/p>\n

We were very disappointed and JR questioned why I didn’t book the other bigger hotels instead :(. We remained in the car while JR went in to check in. One of the staff led us to the carpark, which is hidden in the building. The entrance to the carpark is well hidden and we had to use the passes provided to open the “gate” to the carpark.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Every part of the BnB is hidden. Shanpu Hot Spring BnB is huge! Our rooms were on the 13th floor.<\/p>\n
