In addition to adding many artistic elements, the Florando Wulai Resort Hotel was successfully selected as one of the boutique hotel members by the “Boutique Hotel Group Relais & Châteaux” in 2013. Currently, there are only 2 hotels in Taiwan that can join the alliance (the other one is located in Beitou District)Saner Hotel), which shows the high standard of Fulanduo Wulai Resort Hotel.
Introduction to Relais & Châteaux: If Michelin is the holy book of top restaurants, then the Relais & Châteaux Group is the Michelin of the hotel industry. It was founded in France more than half a century ago. Members of the group use the “5C principles” – uniqueness (Caractère), hospitality (Courtoisie), tranquility (Calme), charm (Charme) and cuisine (Cuisine) – as the evaluation criteria of the organization. The members of this group have diverse styles, ranging from ancient castles or manors to trendy and refined art hotels.
I have always had an impression of Taiwan as a literary youth. It happened to be the annual sister group trip. I went to Wulai + Beitou, Taipei, and soaked in the hot springs for two nights to relax and enjoy myself. Do you remember the boutique hotel app that I introduced during my trip to Italy?
Taiwan’s national treasure brass artworks are everywhere
Try playing the Sound of Formosa 😅 (Wrong demonstration, correctly hit the raised spot in the middle of the gong)
The hotel is filled with the works of Taiwan’s national treasure bronze artist Wu Zonglin. What Video saw is called the Sound of Formosa. Taiwan’s specialty brass is used to create a complete set of scale gongs with international standard tones. It is paired with a log gong frame that resembles a big wave and a wooden boat sailing on the sea, so it is called the Sound of Formosa.
The artist’s studio is also located near the hotel, so go and visit it.
Indoor environment of Fulanduo Hotel
There are only 23 rooms in Fulanduo, so if the hotel is a full house, there will only be 46 adult guests (children under eight years old are not allowed). It is quiet everywhere and there is no risk of overcrowding.
Fulanduo Wulai’s hot springs are directly introduced into Wulai Hot Spring Water. The water quality is clear and transparent, and it is drinkable. The maximum water temperature can reach 78°C with a pH value of Ph7-8. The bicarbonate ions in the water are about 848ppm and the sodium ions are about 417ppm. It is a neutral sodium bicarbonate spring. The sodium bicarbonate spring is also called Beauty Soup, which has a repairing effect on the skin. A large corner window in the hothouse allows you to see the mountains and water. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery while enjoying the hot spring. The glass in the hothouse is also reflective glass, so you will not be able to see in from the outside. However, be aware that the reflective effect will be lost when the lights are turned on at night, so remember to close the curtains!
How carefree it is among the valleys and streams
“Volando” means “flying” in Italian, and also means nature, health and happiness. Surrounded by mountains and streams, Nanshi Creek surrounds the hotel restaurant, and the environment is quiet.
The room rate includes four meals per stay (i.e. welcome drink & dessert, dinner, room snacks and breakfast). The picture below shows an optional lunch.
After lunch, the sisters watched the viral video of Auntie’s Ten Postures and wanted to challenge her. Friends, don’t betray me. Let me pretend to be a fool for everyone to watch. It’s not funny, I laughed so hard 😂
Fulanduo’s life ritual
In addition, guests can enjoy daily scheduled art performances, which Fulanduo calls “life rituals”: when the time comes, just do one simple thing, combining the feeling of life with art, it is an installation art and a performance.
Chess is silent
With the green belt surrounding the mountains as the background and the turquoise blue lake as the stage, a drifting raft with two people sitting opposite each other, playing a chess game without chess pieces with the quiet voice in the heart, and the sound of dialogue, leading you into the tranquility of the moment…

empty drum
When the sound of gongs reverberating in the mountains and rivers comes from the other side, the drums of rituals are played in the pine forests on this side, a ritual of cleansing the body, mind and soul. The surge of ethereal intersection on both sides is like a legend echoing in the valley. At this time, the mind suddenly becomes clear and the senses are opened…

Other surroundings of the hotel:
The breakfast provided by the hotel is very rich! I ordered Chinese breakfast, and there are also European options. Remember to try the pineapple juice, and the coffee is super delicious! (Picture 2: Sesame glutinous rice cake, Picture 4: Late night snack will be delivered directly to the room)

Beitou District: Architectural Aesthetics of Grandview Hot Spring Hotel
The next day we moved to another famous hot spring area: Beitou, an old area that can witness the history of Taipei. Starting in 1896, Gengo Hirata, a Japanese businessman from Osaka, opened the first hot spring hotel in this area. Since its development, it has experienced prosperity and prosperity, and it is still a light travel area that tourists and locals enjoy.
We chose the Grand View Resort Beitou (Beitou Grand View Hot Spring Hotel), which opened in 2011. It is located in the mountainous area of Beitou. The entire hotel was planned by Taipei 101 architect Li Zuyuan. He used elements of logs and stones, supplemented by titanium-plated metal and natural plants to create an atmosphere that blends into nature. It is different from other hot spring hotels that are rich in Japanese-style services and designs. photo from: Grand View Resort Beitou Facebook
Additional screening at the same scene: Continue to keep beautiful photos of Auntie in ten styles 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
In fact, the funniest part is this piece, prepare the pose -> turn into pose moment!
The room is modern and full of fashion.
The hotel restaurant has two restaurants, French and Chinese. The chefs with more than 20 years of experience in five-star hotels use their creativity to carefully select Taiwanese local specialty ingredients and incorporate them into delicate French cooking techniques. Each dish exhibits a French taste, and the dishes are selected based on Taiwan’s abundant seasonal ingredients.
