    Cheapest hostel i’ve stayed at in Taiwan during my backpacking trip in Taiwan. According to the owner she actually dropped the price because there was a typhoon coming during the time i stayed, so people going around the island could have a cheap place to rest before the typhoon is gone. Super close to the train station and many places to eat by walking distance around the property.
