#Lishan Hotel-Heping District, Taichung City

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 If you want to choose a landmark in Lishan, then Lishan Hotel is definitely the best choice. It is located at 82.5K on the Central Cross-Island Highway and has a Chinese palace-style architectural style. Construction began in 1959 and was completed in 1965. It is known as the tallest palace hotel in Taiwan. In the early years, before the collapse of the Central Cross-Island Highway, it was hard to find a room. Later, after the collapse of the Central Cross-Island Highway, business also plummeted like the fruit stall in front of the hotel. Lishan Hotel is listed as one of the three major Chinese palace-style buildings in Taiwan, along with Taipei Grand Hotel and Kaohsiung Grand Hotel. It was once closed but was later reopened to the public after being renovated. This place is also a must-visit place for checking in and taking photos when traveling to Lishan. In addition to the road collapse, the occupancy rate has been more or less affected by the epidemic in the past two years. Lishan Hotel once had a prosperous side. Perhaps when the Central Cross-Island Highway opens to traffic one day, we may see the Lishan Hotel regain its former glory. (20210815)

Lishan Hotel. A Visit to Chiang Kai-shek's Residence Traveling deep in the mountains along the Central Cross-Island Highway, at an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters, stands the majestic Lishan Hotel, the former mountain retreat of President Chiang Kai-shek and his wife. As the car slowly pulls into the complex of red-roofed, white-walled buildings, a sense of solemnity and curiosity arises within the traveler. This place, once a gathering place for political dignitaries, now opens its doors, offering a window into history. Tucked away within the hotel, Chiang Kai-shek's residence boasts an elegant exterior and interiors that retain their original appearance. The wooden floors reflect the patina of time, and the living room, bedroom, and living area all exude a 1950s atmosphere. Most striking is the boundless mountain vista beyond the window: Chiang Kai-shek gazed out from here, perhaps contemplating state affairs or seeking a moment of peace in the tranquility of the mountains. As the guide walks, travelers can see the bedroom once occupied by his wife, Soong Mei-ling, and the simple details of their home. Although this place was once a symbol of power, the space does not appear luxurious, but rather has the solemnity and coolness of a high mountain inn.

Lishan Hotel Accommodation. Mountain Travelogue Walking along the winding Central Cross-Island Highway, the mists gather and disperse. As the Lishan Hotel emerges from the mountains, it's as if I've stepped into another time and space. Once the residence of President Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, it's now a mountain inn where visitors can stay. The accommodations are nestled against the mountainside, their wooden corridors and window lattices bearing the marks of time. Opening the door, you're greeted by the unique tranquility of the deep mountains: the distant peaks shimmer golden in the morning light, and at night, a sky dotted with stars. The hustle and bustle of the city is absent, replaced by the sound of the wind, the rustling of pine trees, and the occasional chirp of birds. The nights here are exceptionally quiet. Sitting on the small balcony of the accommodations, brewing a cup of hot tea, the chill air intensifies the rich aroma. Thinking of past dignitaries and guests, who once contemplated and conversed in this same mountain breeze, I suddenly feel a sense of intertwining traveler and history. Waking up early in the morning, the trail outside the hotel was gently shrouded in white mist, creating a fairyland-like experience. After breakfast, I strolled along the path, and the Lishan air was filled with the delicate aroma of apples—a renowned local agricultural product. A stay at the Lishan Hotel is more than just a night's sleep; it's a journey of "sleeping with history and waking with the mountains." When travelers step out of the lobby and are once again confronted with the magnificent mountain scenery, they often feel a sense of peace and awe.
